Networking, made intentional.
Your network,
your way.
Nodem is a private map of the people in your life — so the right relationships never go quiet.
Feeds reward noise. CRMs treat people like leads. Nodem treats your network like a living orbit you actually tend — calmly, intentionally, on your terms.

A note from the founder
Austin Attaway, Ph.D.
Founder
"I built Nodem because I was tired of networks that treat people like data points. The free version is genuinely enough for most users — I use it myself every day. We will never sell your data, and we will never run ads. Your relationships are yours alone."

Before & after
From a list of names to a living map.
Your phone today
A flat list of names.
No context. No priority. No way to know who you've drifted from.
Your Nodem
A relationship map.
Closeness, cadence, and context — built right into the shape.
Co-Orbits
See the people between people.
Privately link orbits with a friend, mentor, or co-founder and Nodem will show you who you both know, where your worlds overlap, and which mutual contact could open the next door. Overlap is only ever surfaced when both sides opt in.
- Discover mutual contacts you didn't know you shared.
- Spot the bridge person for a warm intro you've been needing.
- Disconnect anytime — your contacts are never copied or shared.
Orbit map, your way
Drag contacts into rings of closeness. Name your orbits. Set your own cadence.
Grid view
A dense, sortable directory when you need to scan, filter, or batch-edit.
Insights
Years known, last touchpoint, who you haven't spoken to in months. Stay intentional.
Starred & Cold Orbit
Star the people who matter so they always surface first. Cold Orbit quietly archives anyone you haven't been in touch with for 180 days.
Signal, not noise
No feeds. No notifications begging for your time. A calm map you visit on purpose.
Yours alone
Encrypted, exportable, never sold. Your relationships are not a training set.
From early users
People who get it.
"I finally stopped losing track of professors and internship leads between semesters. It's sooo much better than my notes app."
"It feels like a personal CRM for every vendor, venue, and past client. I love how customizable it is — and seeing who knows who is gold."
