San Francisco, California, United States

San Francisco based Humin's mission is to make technology feel more human. Designed to think about people the way you naturally do, Humin remembers and stores relationships by context--such as when, where or how you met someone--so users can search for them accordingly. Instead of storing contacts in an alphabetical list, Humin uses contextual clues like current location, time of day, and schedule to anticipate the relevant people within users' contacts at any given moment. Humin learns from you--so the more you use the app, the more intuitive it gets.
