People

People is your personal contact directory — a place to keep meaningful information about the people in your life beyond what a phone contacts app stores. Birthdays, anniversaries, gift ideas, personal notes, and a record of the experiences you've shared together.

How it works​

Each person you add gets a profile. You fill in as much or as little as you want — at minimum a name and relationship category, but you can go deep with contact details, notes, linked experiences, and more. Terra surfaces the information that's time-sensitive (upcoming birthdays, anniversaries) so you don't have to remember it yourself.

What you can store per person​

  • Name — required
  • Relationship category — Family, Friends, Work, or Other (required)
  • Relationship type — a custom label within that category (e.g., "Best Friend," "Sister-in-law," "Mentor")
  • Birthday — with an option to record just month and day if you don't know the year
  • Anniversary — any significant recurring date
  • Profile photo — upload or paste a URL
  • Contact details — email, phone, address
  • Gift ideas — a private notes field for keeping track of what they'd love
  • Personal notes — a full markdown editor for anything else you want to remember about this person
  • Romantic partner flag — marking someone as your current partner connects them to the Relationship section

What you can do​

  • Add and edit people from the People directory or the + button
  • View upcoming birthdays and anniversaries on your home dashboard and calendar
  • Browse shared history — see which events, vacations, parks, and media you've connected this person to
  • Filter by category to see just family, just friends, etc.
  • Search by name to find anyone quickly

Where people appear elsewhere in Terra​

  • Calendar — birthdays and anniversaries show up as recurring events
  • Home dashboard — an upcoming birthdays widget shows the next 5 birthdays within 30 days
  • Events, Vacations, Parks, Media — you can tag people on entries in those sections; the shared history shows up on their profile
  • Relationship section — marking someone as your romantic partner makes them the subject of your Relationship entries

Your community, remembered with intention.
