# Karot

> Karot is a friendship tracker: every friendship is a plant that grows while you stay in touch and wilts when you drift.

Karot reminds you when a friendship needs attention and suggests things to talk about. It is made by 7Otters LLC.

For people who want to keep up friendships, not manage sales contacts.

Karot (Armenian: կարոտ, pronounced kah-ROTE) means longing, the ache of missing someone.
