The people you keep meaning to call

Most of us have a short list. A parent a few timezones away, the friend from an old job, a grandparent who never rings first. You think about calling in the shower, and then it is April.

Last Spoke sends you one email when someone on that list is overdue. You add a name and how often you want nudging, and the clock restarts from the last time you actually spoke. That is the part a calendar gets wrong. A repeating event fires on schedule even if you rang them yesterday, so after a month it is just another thing you swipe away.

How it works

• Add a name only you need to recognise, and a rough cadence. "Dad, every three weeks."
• When someone is overdue, one plain email arrives at 9am in your timezone.
• That email has three links: we spoke, push it a week, stop reminding me.
• Clicking "we spoke" restarts the count from today.

There is no app to install. It does not read your contacts, your phone records, or your messages, and it never will, because the whole thing runs on a nickname you type in yourself.

What it will cost

Planned price: USD 4 per month, or USD 30 a year. That is a plan, not a charge. There is no checkout on this page and no card field anywhere, because nothing is finished enough to sell.

What actually exists today

The sending half is built and tested. Reminders are worked out per person, queued, and sent on a schedule with nobody pressing a button, and the stop link in the email works. What does not exist is your half: there is no signup, no account, and no way for you to add a person yet.

So this page asks for an email address instead of a password. If enough people say they would pay for it, the rest gets built. If they do not, it does not, and you will get one message telling you so.

What happens to your address

It is stored by Aspire 2: X in a Cloudflare key store this business controls, and it is used for one thing: telling you when Last Spoke opens, or telling you it is not going ahead. It is not sold, shared, or added to any other list. Every message carries a working unsubscribe link, and you can have the address deleted by writing to hello@aspire2-x.com.

This page also counts how many people visit it. To avoid counting you twice it stores a one way hash of your IP address and browser string, which it cannot turn back into either, and deletes it after 30 days. No cookies, no analytics script, no third party.
