Don't Ghost
A gentle list of the friends you've gone quiet on, sorted by who you'd hate to lose touch with. No guilt trips. Just a nudge to say hi.
A friendly ghost for your Mac
Don't ghost the people you love.
Ghostie is a friendly little Mac app full of tools for staying close: a nudge when a thread goes quiet, a heads-up before a birthday, and your whole texting year as a story. Free, and all on your Mac.
Free for macOS 14+. No account. Works with iMessage and WhatsApp.
Free, and just for you
Little tools for being a better friend
Ghostie watches your back so you stay close to people, and turns your texting life into something you actually want to look at. All on your Mac. Pick your favorites, ignore the rest.
Birthdays
Builds your birthday list from the people you actually talk to, not your whole address book, so you never miss one that matters.
Texting Wrapped
Your year in texts as story cards. Equal parts flattering and incriminating.
Texting Analytics
Who texts first? Who double-texts? The receipts, charted, for your eyes only.
EQ
A gentle read on your relationships, with little nudges to show up better for the people in them: friends, partner, siblings, all of it.
Drafts
A calm place to write a text out and sit on it, instead of firing off something at 2am you'll regret by breakfast.
Scheduled
Line up a text for later, poke yourself to call Mom on Sunday, or set a standing "rent's due" nudge for your roommate.
Work / Personal
Files work threads away from life threads, Severance-mode easter egg included. Your innie would approve.
Want Ghostie to actually ghostwrite? Hand the keys to Claude or Codex and it'll draft replies in your voice, every one still waiting for your approval. That part's for the tinkerers.
