Sotto
A private notebook for remembering the people you love
Sotto is a private notebook for remembering the people you love, not a CRM for managing them. Keep sizes, allergies, favorite things, dates, relationships, and notes in one place, with 100+ built-in fields. Pick a Question offers 323 curated prompts to help you go beyond small talk, then save what you learn to that person's page. Personal details stay on-device by default, protected by biometrics, with optional backup to your own cloud account.
While renting winter clothing and ski gear in Canada, I kept having to look up and convert measurements because the units were different from the ones I use in Taiwan.
Around the same time, my girlfriend, who was working at a jewelry store, told me how often people came in to buy a ring without knowing their partner's ring size.
It made me realize that caring about someone often lives in details that are easy to forget:
their shoe or ring size
a favorite flower
an allergy
something they once told you
So I made Sotto, a private notebook centered on people.
Each person gets a private page for practical details, favorite things, important dates, relationships, and notes. Sotto includes 100+ built-in fields, with Custom fields for everything that does not fit neatly into a template.
From remembering to discovering
Sotto began as a way to remember what you already know about someone. But remembering is only half of knowing a person. Caring also means staying curious.
That idea became Pick a Question.
It includes 300+ curated prompts across 17 categories, ranging from easy icebreakers to family, values, conflict, intimacy, money, and the future.
A few examples:
“So far, what's your favourite thing we do together?”
“When you're angry, do you say it straight, or use silence and cold?”
“What's the line your family said to you most as a kid?”
Pick one from someone's page, ask it in real life, and save their answer as a note. More sensitive prompts are clearly marked and include guidance for starting the conversation with care.
Sotto helps you remember what you already know about someone while giving you a reason to discover something new.

If you could ask someone you love one question tonight, what would it be?
Love the privacy-first approach and the curated prompts idea. One thing that would make this a daily habit for me: a gentle reminder feature that surfaces someone you haven't reached out to in a while, maybe pulling from the dates and notes you've saved, so the notebook actually nudges you toward those small check-ins instead of just sitting there.
the "remember people, don't manage them" framing is a small swap but changes everything tbh. the ring size story hit home lol, Ive 100% been that person guessing in a store then feeling guilty after. and the "pick a question" thing?? love it so much!! congrats on the launch keeping this on my radar.
The Pick a Question feature genuinely changed how I catch up with old friends — I never have to scramble for what to say. Really like that everything stays local unless I choose otherwise.
Sotto is an exciting idea — wishing the makers a brilliant launch day! 🚀🚀
Tried it for a weekend with my closest friends and the Pick a Question feature actually made conversations feel less awkward. The on-device storage with biometrics is reassuring since this stuff is way too personal for a cloud service.
Took a few minutes to try it and the "pick a question" prompts really do work better than my usual awkward "so what do you do" opener, saved one to my brother's page already.
