Nametrace

The app for people who have too many valuable contacts to keep them only in an address book.

Nurture your relationships, keep track of conversations and find the right person in your network exactly when you need them.

Building software together in Switzerland since 2008 — with passion and success. No investor, no marketing team. Just us and the product.

You meet a lot of people — and forget too much of it.

Events, lunches, calls, conferences. Every week you meet interesting people. Yet weeks later you only remember the name — not what you talked about, who they knew or why this contact was valuable.

Conversations fade

What was interesting two months ago is gone today. Notes scattered — on napkins, in your head, nowhere.

Contacts become a list

The address book has a phone number. That's it. Who was this again? Where did you meet? What mattered?

Your network sleeps

The person who could help you right now is already in your network. But you don't remember — so you never ask.

It all started with a friend's question.

Hi, we're Philipp and Andi. A good friend — a classic networker with thousands of contacts collected over decades — came to us and asked: "Could you build an app that finally lets me organize these contacts properly?"

Excel was too rigid. CRMs too sales-driven. The address book too thin. So we sat down, listened and built Nametrace — not for sales teams, but for people who genuinely want to nurture their network.

Imagine you need someone who knows real estate in Birmingham.

In your address book you'd search in vain. Even a regular keyword search would find nothing — because "Birmingham" doesn't appear in any of your notes. Nametrace finds the person anyway.

  nametrace.app — Search
"Who knows about real estate in Birmingham?"
Match in your notes
"Invests in real estate in the UK"
Birmingham is in the UK Investors know the field

That's semantic search.

Nametrace understands meaning, not just words. The AI recognizes that Birmingham is in the UK and that someone investing in real estate is your real-estate expert. That's how you find knowledge a classic keyword search would never surface.

  • Semantic search — understands the intent of your question
  • Finds contacts even when the wording is different
  • Profiles auto-enriched with public information
