Why I built Hippo

Hi 👋, I’m Roel

I have been struggling with my memory all the time, at work and at home. I used to forget children’s names, someone's job, birthdays, anniversaries and other important life events. At work I couldn’t remember when or how a decision was made.

This made me insecure and unhappy. That is why I built Hippo.

With the Hippo app, I can remember all the important things about the persons I care for. A quick note usually does the job. It is simple and effective … and has changed my life! Hippo has helped me to become a better friend, partner and colleague.

🤯 Too many things to remember about your contacts?

Hippo can help you too!

Make notes, keep track of events and store to-dos for all your contacts.

So next time you meet, a quick glance at the person's profile in Hippo is all you need to remember the details.

Being attentive doesn’t have to be a challenge anymore.
Hippo is your personal reminder.

Seriously impressive. And your privacy policy is the best I’ve ever seen: all medical apps could learn from your example.

I was constantly forgetting birthdays and anniversaries until it would pop up on Facebook and I had to run out and get a gift. Not my more, the app tells you a week out when an event is coming up. I love it!
