Product basics
What Pomet is — and what it is not.
Start here for a clear definition of Pomet and the professional advantage it is designed to create.
What is Pomet?
Pomet is a personal briefing app — you tell it what people share, and it briefs you before you meet them again. It's built for founders and solopreneurs who know relationships are the business. Pomet keeps what you tell it, retrieves details across your relationships, and prepares you before conversations.
Who is Pomet built for?
Pomet is built for founders and solopreneurs who know relationships are the business — across PR, real estate, recruiting, fundraising, advising, consulting, and client services. It's for people whose work means meeting many people in professional and personal settings, especially when a relationship matters before there's a deal, project, or formal next step.
Is Pomet a CRM?
No. A CRM tracks the pipeline, contact record, and where a deal left off. Pomet preserves the personal details someone shared with you and helps you retrieve them from the first conversation onward, before there is necessarily a deal.
Is Pomet a networking app?
No. Pomet does not rank relationships, suggest who is valuable, or turn people into networking opportunities. But it can be useful in networking situations — at a conference or event, for example — when you are meeting someone new and do not yet know who they will become to you. Pomet helps you preserve the context behind those early conversations, so a future LinkedIn connection is more than a name, title, and profile photo.
What professional advantage does Pomet provide?
Pomet helps you enter conversations prepared, skip the reset, follow through on what was shared, and leave a stronger impression. Remembering is the mechanism; greater competence and continuity are the outcome.
How it works
How Pomet works in practice.
You tell Pomet what someone shared. You ask before you see them again. Nothing happens in between.
How do I add information to Pomet?
You open Pomet and tell it what someone shared. A quick voice note holds personal details, work updates, promises, introductions, recommendations, reminders, and where the conversation left off.
Does Pomet listen during meetings or conversations?
No. Pomet does not listen in the background. You open the app, you speak, and you decide what gets saved.
Does Pomet search the internet for information about people?
No. Pomet does not scrape, enrich, or build an objective profile of a person from external sources. It searches what you have already told it from your own interactions.
How does Pomet help before a conversation?
Pomet prepares a briefing from the relationship-specific details you told it. Briefings can be prepared from calendar context where possible, and you can ask for a briefing anytime. So long as you've already told Pomet about that person, Pomet will get you up to speed.
Can I search when I only remember part of a detail?
Yes. You can ask naturally using fuzzy, half-remembered clues. Pomet searches what you have already told it to find the person, recommendation, promise, or connection you are trying to place.
Can Pomet search across everyone I have met?
Yes. Search across everything you've told Pomet complements individual briefings, helping you retrieve people or details when you remember the context but not the name.
Privacy and control
Your notes stay yours.
Nothing is collected in the background, and nothing is shared.
Can anyone else see my Pomet notes?
No. Sharing is not enabled — not with a teammate, spouse, or anyone else. A Pomet profile reflects who that person is to you, not who they are to the world.
Read the privacy policy →Does Pomet create a complete profile of someone?
No. Pomet is not a complete or objective profile. It preserves the relationship-specific record of what someone shared in your own interactions. Pomet is not who the person is to the world, but who they are to you.
Does Pomet passively collect information?
No. Pomet does not listen in the background or decide what to save for you. It begins when you open the app and tell it something.
What should I save in Pomet?
Start with personal updates: the small details that rarely create an action item, but make someone feel remembered when you ask about them later. Then add important work context, promises, introductions, recommendations, reminders, and unfinished threads from a conversation — anything that helps you prepare, follow through, and continue the relationship.
Access and fit
Deciding whether Pomet fits your workflow.
Pomet is currently welcoming professionals who want to show up prepared and follow through on what people share.
How do I join the Pomet waitlist?
Join the waitlist from the site. Early access invitations are sent in small batches.
Is Pomet useful before a relationship enters a pipeline?
Yes. Pomet is useful from the first conversation, including when someone matters but there is no deal, project, or formal next step yet.
Can Pomet replace my CRM?
Not necessarily. Pomet replaces the scrappy notes, scattered files, or mental effort of trying to hold every personal detail in your head — and helps you show up ready to follow up on the tiny things most people miss, but that show someone you care. It wasn't built to replace pipeline management, contact synchronization, outreach automation, or other CRM functions.
I'm not a founder or solopreneur. Is Pomet for me?
Probably, eventually. Pomet is starting with founders and solopreneurs because that's where the need is sharpest and the feedback is most useful while the app is young. Nothing about how Pomet works is specific to them. Join the waitlist and we'll be in touch as access opens up.
Pricing and access
Free during the beta.
Pomet will be a paid subscription. Here's what that means and when it starts.
Is Pomet free?
It's free during the beta. There's no charge and no payment method to enter.
What happens when the beta ends?
Pomet arrives on the App Store as a paid subscription, monthly or annual, starting with 14 days free. You'll hear the details directly, well ahead of the change. The first 100 beta users keep an early rate for as long as they stay subscribed.
How does the free trial work?
Fourteen days free. You enter a payment method when you start, and the subscription begins at the end of the trial unless you cancel. Billing runs through your Apple ID, and you can cancel anytime from your Apple ID settings.
Why does the trial ask for a card up front?
So the trial starts and ends cleanly, without a second sign-up step in the middle of getting set up. Cancel before day fourteen and you aren't charged.
