Stoke’s Share screen: a note with a Figma link, its preview, and five people ranked to receive it, each with a reason and a message ready.

Found something good? Send it to the right people.

  1. Paste what you found

    An article, a post, a podcast, or a sentence about it. Stoke fetches the link’s preview, and nothing else.

    The Share screen’s “What did you find?” field with a note and a Figma link, and the link’s preview card.

  2. See who it’s for, and why

    Stoke ranks your people by what they care about and who’s gone quiet, with the reason next to each name.

    Tom Reyes and Maya Torres ranked as strong matches, each with where you met, the reason, and a message.

  3. Send it your way

    Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, Signal, or LinkedIn opens with a note ready, worded differently for each person. You press Send.

    Tom Reyes with an Open in Messages button and the message ready: “Hi Tom, came across this and it had your name all over it.”

Compare where your network ends up.

Many network apps start by uploading your contacts, inbox, and calendar to their servers, then run AI over them there. Stoke does that work on your Mac.

Maya Torres’s page in Stoke: where you met, your notes about her, what she cares about, her circles, and how to reach her.

How we know
  • The app has no updater, no analytics, and no crash reporting.
  • The only request Stoke makes on its own is the preview of a link you paste, from that link’s own site.
  • The AI is Apple’s on-device model. Your notes aren’t sent to Apple’s servers or ours.
  • Your file is encrypted with SQLCipher, and its key lives in your Keychain.
  • Messages and Mail are read for dates only, unless you turn on more.
  • Connecting an AI app like Claude is up to you. It sees what you ask it about, never phone numbers or emails.
  • Check it yourself: watch Stoke in a network monitor like Little Snitch or LuLu.

A CRM that doesn’t nag. It gives you reasons to reach out.

  • Notices who’s going quiet

    Tell Stoke how often you want to hear from someone. When they drift past it, they rise to the top with something worth sending.

  • Reads between your notes

    Apple Intelligence picks out who’s hiring, raising, or looking for help, then spots the intro or the follow-up you meant to send.

  • Remembers how you know them

    Save someone as “John, Startup Weekend, 2023” and Stoke files the event and the year. Group people into circles like Founders dinner.

  • Brings your network in

    LinkedIn connections, your Contacts, or any spreadsheet. Profile links come along, and nobody gets added twice.

An intro Stoke found: Tom and Andre, why they should meet, and the intro written out, with an Email the Intro button.

The AI is free. It runs on your Mac.
