How Prezence works.
Two things to learn, then a handful of small touches. Add the people you care about, use your voice for almost everything else, and Prezence quietly keeps the rest in order.

Add your people 
Start with the people already in your life.
Prezence works from your existing contacts, so there's no list to build from scratch. Bring people in once, and you're ready.
How to add people
There are three ways to get people into Prezence — use whichever suits the moment.
Contacts lists
Already keep lists in Apple Contacts? Import a whole list — and a matching Prezence Group is created automatically. People tab → tap +, choose Lists, tick a list (like “Friends”), then Add.
By voice
On Today, tap the mic and just talk about someone new. When Prezence doesn’t recognise the name, it asks you to confirm — and creates them when you save.
The main idea
Use your voice for (almost) everything.
Prezence is built to be spoken to, not typed at. The same mic does four different jobs — tap through to see each.

about Tom
You said
"I'm on my way to see Tom — what should I know?"
You last saw Tom about three weeks ago — coffee at Truth. He'd just moved
to a new role at the bank, and Hannah was applying to UCT. You told him
you'd send him that book on negotiation — that's still open.
Jack
Surfer. Climber. Met through Tom in 2017.
Last together at Muizenberg a few weeks ago.

Notes
Earlier this week
Mentawais came up again — Jack said the consistency at Nias is
what's pulling him. We left it that I'd float dates with Sarah.
A year ago
Surf trip planning — three options on the table: Mentawais,
Nias, and Nicaragua. Mentawais my front-runner.
Small touches
The little things, handled.
Tap any of these to see how it's done.
Groups People who belong together, in one place.
People tab → Groups → new group. Name the group and add members. Open a group to capture a note or a commitment for everyone in it at once. Tip: if you keep lists in your Apple Contacts, importing a list automatically creates a matching Group.
Merge duplicate people Two of the same person? Fold them into one.
Open the duplicate → Edit → Merge into another person… → choose the person to keep. Their notes, dates and commitments move across, and the duplicate is removed.
Add a photo Put a face to the name.
Open a person or a group → Edit → tap Add photo → Take Photo or Choose from Library.
Share a note Send a single note to anyone.
Open the note → tap Share note → pick WhatsApp, Mail, Messages — wherever you like. Only that one note leaves the app.
Edit what Prezence heard Fix anything it picked up.
On a profile, tap any detail — a name, a date, an interest, a life event — to change it, or swipe to delete. Nothing is set in stone.
Quiet recurring meetings Mute the weekly-standup crowd.
Attendees from weekly-recurring meetings are kept off Today automatically, so relational signal isn’t drowned out. To always keep someone, open their profile, tap Edit, and turn on “Show their meetings on Today”.
Annual markers Remember a date, every year.
Open a dated life event on someone’s profile and turn on “Annual marker” — for weddings, work anniversaries, the dates worth showing up for. It shows in Dates and gives you a gentle reminder each year, until you switch it off.
Export your data Your data is yours to take.
Settings → Export everything → save or share the file. A ZIP of plain-text notes — one per person — plus a JSON copy of everything you’ve captured.
Track your promises Stay on top of the small things you offered.
Promises you mention are gathered in the Commitments tab — swipe to mark one kept when it’s done. To sync with Apple Reminders, go to Settings → Reminders → Sync with Reminders and follow the prompts. It’s a two-way sync: check something off in Reminders and it’s checked off in Prezence too.
Works with your iPhone
Fits the apps you already use.
Calendar
Reads your calendar to show who you're about to see, and who you just met — matched by name or email.
Reminders
Push your promises to Apple Reminders, and tick them off from either side.
A note on privacy
Your audio stays on your phone.
Voice notes are transcribed by Apple on-device — the audio itself never leaves your iPhone. The transcribed text goes to Anthropic (the company behind Claude) so it can extract signals and answer your questions. Anthropic doesn't train on it, and deletes it after up to 30 days of safety review. Everything else — your notes, the people in your circle, your commitments — stays on your device.
