One mother of twelve kept all her children and grandchildren's gift history in a notebook — because she never wanted anyone to feel forgotten.
She tracked birthdays, anniversaries, favorite colors, shoe sizes, what she gave last year so she wouldn't repeat. All by hand. All from love.
Her husband, a builder of systems, watched her effort — and asked:
“Why should love require a spreadsheet?”
So he built Next2Me.
Not to replace her heart. To extend it.
What We Believe
Relationships deserve better tools
We have tools for everything — calendars, to-do lists, project management. But for the people who matter most? We rely on memory and guilt. That's not enough.
Technology should support connection, not replace it
Next2Me doesn't send messages for you. It doesn't automate your relationships. It helps you notice when distance is growing — so you can show up yourself.
Your data belongs to you
We don't sell your information. We don't show you ads. We don't track you across the web. Your family's stories and memories are yours — period.
Built for Real Lives
Next2Me was built for two people in the same family, with very different minds, who both cared deeply — and both needed help in different ways.
One keeps everything in her heart and needed a way to share that context. One keeps everything in his head and needed a way to be reminded.
Next2Me strengthens lasting relationships — for the organized and the forgetful, for the near and the far, for the young and the old.
