Question 1

What is 4TheChase, in one sentence?

Accepted Answer

A private memory app: one card per person you meet, filled from your notes, screenshots and conversations, and Noa, an AI coach who answers on it before you see them again. Three books, dating, friends and network, on iPhone and Android.

Question 2

Isn't it a bit creepy to keep notes on people?

Accepted Answer

An address book has done the same forever. What matters is the use: here your notes are there to pay attention to someone, not to file them away. They stay on your phone, and you can erase everything in one tap.

Question 3

Does it connect to my dating apps?

Accepted Answer

No, and it never will. Those apps keep their doors shut, and plugging in unofficially gets your own account banned. Instead you open a screenshot from your camera roll: to be read it leaves the phone, then it is filed in the right card once you have read it back. It works from any app, and nothing plugs into your account.

Question 4

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Everyone, whatever your orientation: whether you are into guys, girls or both, the product assumes nothing. The gender on a card only exists so that Noa writes "she" or "he" in the right place, never to sort anyone. And the three modes work the same: dating, friends, network.

Question 5

What is Noa like?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the book. On a Dating card it is a seduction coach: it teaches you how to talk to the person you like, flirt and follow up, and points you back to what they told you so it rings true. On a Friends card, a friendship coach: it pushes you to text first and shapes the plan to the person. On a Network card, a career coach: give before you ask, follow up fast, never sell. Three personalities, one shared rule: no manipulation, no pressure, ever. And so you never run dry, every conversation opens on three fresh questions, matched to the book.

Question 6

Can I tune it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you feel it in the conversation. In settings you pick its name, its gender, formal or casual address, the style and length of its answers. Rename it Neo: the input says “Ask Neo”, and it talks the way you set it, on every card.

Question 7

Where does my data go?

Accepted Answer

On your phone. Without an account, nothing else holds them. If you create an account (optional), they are copied to our server in Switzerland, in Zurich, so you find them on another phone; deleting the account erases that copy. What leaves in every case: what you give Noa to read, the text of a card when you ask a question, a screenshot or a voice note when you hand one over. The provider is named in the privacy policy. And you can export everything from the settings, as a readable file, photos included.

Question 8

Where can I get it?

Accepted Answer

iPhone and Android, both at launch. Nobody waits because of the phone in their pocket. Early access opens on both at the same time.

Question 9

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Free forever with three cards, ten questions to Noa and five imports a month. Keeper at CHF 10.90 a month or CHF 98 a year lifts those three limits. The Founder's pass is limited to 500 numbered people: CHF 199 once for life for the first 100, CHF 249 after that. Payment goes through your Apple or Google account.

Question 10

Can I delete everything?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any time, from the app settings. "Export my data" gives you a readable file with your cards, memories and photos; "Erase all data" wipes everything from the phone. Swiss and European law give you that right; we put it in the settings instead of one email away.

Question 11

Is it only for dating?

Accepted Answer

No. Dating is where we started, because that is where people forget fastest. But the app has three modes: Dating, Friends and Network. A new colleague, a friend of a friend, someone from a conference. Anyone you would like to remember properly.

Question 12

If I delete the app, does my subscription stop?

Accepted Answer

No, and it is the most common mistake. A subscription lives in your Apple or Google account, not in the app: uninstalling does not cancel it, and you keep being charged. You cancel it on the App Store or on Google Play, under your subscriptions. Erasing your data from the app does not cancel it either.
