The apps, by use case
1. LifeLong Network: best for turning the people you meet into business
LifeLong Network is relationship intelligence that helps people who meet a lot of people for work turn conversations into closed deals. Say a few seconds about someone you just met, and it builds a profile with what they care about, where you met and what you promised. Then it tells you who to follow up with and briefs you before you see them again, so you walk in as the person who remembered. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, with no inbox or social scraping. Built this way on purpose: outreach and pipelines stay in your CRM, and LifeLong sends your best relationships to Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive in one step. Price: a free plan for up to 25 people and a 30-day Pro trial with no credit card. Basic is $59.99 a year at the early-bird price on the web, open until December 31, 2026 or 10,000 subscribers; in the Android app, plans start at $15.99 a month. Pricing

It runs on Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, the web and as a Chrome extension, and lists pre-meeting briefs on its homepage.

The Android app launched in August 2026. Limitation: the free Personal plan asks for a credit card, and the vendor’s pricing page does not state the yearly price of Pro.

4. Cloze: best for logging every email and call
