ENTERTAINING DIARY

The main purpose of the App is to give you a new digital diary for all your logged Entertaining events.Be it an event you’ve Hosted, or Attended, or maybe a Collective get together. Log if it’s Lunch, Dinner or a whole Day Out. Note whether it’s an Allocated or Unallocated event.

N&N App also “remembers” your added locations, so you won’t have to re-type “Backwoods River” every time you share a meal with others there.Enter, and select, all the details in one space and let the App work its intelligence by filing these event cards tidily away and updating your Entertaining Timelines.Easily access older event cards by our search bar where you can search a name, location etc. to bring back old record memories.

Entertaining Timeline

This timeline updates as you enter your entertaining events.
See at a glance who you had when - ensure no one slips through the cracks.

Entertaining Event Log

Log every occasion with a single tap and type, then save and your Entertaining Timeline updates to match

Personal Contacts Library

Spend less time re-typing details for you to add your guest/host details to a new event.

DISCLAIMER: All names and data displayed in app mockups are placeholder data for illustrative purposes only.

Personal Contacts Library

The other half of Nectar & Nest is your private Personal Contacts Library—a dignified, intentional digital library built entirely around your personal contacts, adding your hosts or guests can be as effortless as tapping a name.
As you type, the app instantly scans your Contact library to give you a seamless type, tap, and select experience.
If you are entertaining someone new, an "Add Contact Card" pop-up appears instantly, letting you create a fresh record right then and there without ever breaking your hosting flow.

Tailored Hospitality Details

Every household in your library features a dedicated Contact Card designed to help you honour your guests' unique needs with absolute grace.

  • Core Dietary Chips: Tag the three most common dietary requirements with built-in option selections: GF (Gluten-Free), DF (Dairy-Free), and NUT (Nut Allergy).

  • Custom Notes: Right below these, an adaptable custom text field allows you to type and generate specialized health, lifestyle, or medical bubbles unique to that guest—such as Diabetic, Celiac, or Egg-Free.

  • Personal Hosting Notes: Keep track of the little details that make people feel seen, right on their card (e.g., "John plays the piano" or "Bob loves sparkling water").

The Freedom to Import in Bulk – Premium Plan Feature Only
