A CRM for the relationships outside Salesforce

Conferences, intros, dinners, family. The names blur, the details fade, and the next time someone says hello, the panic sets in. Monica is an open-source personal CRM for tracking the people in your life. Log how you met, what was discussed, kids' names, gifts given, last conversation, anything worth remembering. Set reminders for birthdays and follow-ups. Self-host it on your own server or sign up free, no credit card needed. Over 44,000 people use it to keep relationships from quietly falling apart.

What is it:

An open-source personal CRM that tracks people, conversations, important dates, and relationship details outside the work pipeline.

Who is it for:

Founders, executives, and professionals who meet too many people to remember on memory alone.

Alternative to:

Notes app entries you never look at, LinkedIn DMs you never follow up on, or relying on calendar reminders that never trigger.

Why we like it:

We like Monica because relationships, professional or personal, deserve a system, not just memory.
