Clay

We've completely redesigned how you add people to Clay, making it faster and more intuitive than ever. You can now add multiple sources of information at once, like social profiles and notes. This is especially powerful when you're on-the-go: quickly add a person you met at a conference, complete with their Twitter handle and the key points from your conversation, all before your next meeting. We also added streamlined flows for adding a note or a reminder in just a few taps. And we optimized every interaction to be snappy and responsive, because we know these moments of connection often happen when you're busiest. The new Add Person experience is rolling out across Mac, Windows, iOS, and web today.

This week, we're excited to introduce Upcoming — a powerful new way to stay ahead of what matters most in your network. Many of you have told us that Home is perfect for catching up on what's happening today, but you also want to see what's coming up so you can plan ahead. Whether it's a meaningful birthday, an important reminder, or a momentous event on the horizon, staying prepared helps you be thoughtful when it matters most. Now, in the Home view on both desktop and iOS, you can scroll up to see all your upcoming birthdays, events, and reminders for the next 30 days. Get a complete view of what's ahead so you can prepare the perfect gift, schedule that coffee meeting, or simply reach out at just the right moment. Combined with Clay's existing Home feed, you now have the most comprehensive view of your network—both what's happened this week and what's coming up next. Upcoming is available now across Mac, Windows, iOS, and web. https://clay.earth/start

We're thrilled to introduce a complete visual refresh built on Apple's new Liquid Glass design language. This translucent material brings depth and dimensionality to every interaction, making Clay feel more alive and responsive as you browse your network. From contact cards that subtly reflect your profile photos to navigation that dynamically adapts as you scroll, every element now has a sense of fluidity that makes staying thoughtful with your relationships even more delightful. Buttons, switches, and controls now feature real-time rendering that responds to your touch with specular highlights. The tab bar gracefully transforms as you navigate between Home, People, and Groups. On Mac, we've shipped an update that makes Clay even more performant on macOS Tahoe. This isn't just a fresh coat of paint — it's a foundation for Clay's future. Liquid Glass intelligently adapts between light and dark modes, ensures better readability across all your devices, and makes important information stand out when you need it most. Whether you're quickly checking someone's profile before a meeting or diving deep into your relationship history, Clay now feels faster, clearer, and more intuitive than ever. Our updates are live across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. https://lnkd.in/gXSjXksE
