This idea has been in the back of my mind forever... definitely a major need for me. I was a fan of the very short-lived Microsoft Connections android app (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). You may want to leverage some of their ideas for contact sharing, tracking emails/texts, etc. Going to check this out and get going on the idea again :)

Love what you're doing, Régis! I had the same problem so I ended up building www.ntwrkapp.com as a side project. I bet we can learn a tonne from each other. Keep up the great work and let me know if you want to collaborate at some point.

I've been looking for something like this for a while...have considered hacking something together myself but never found the time. Really cool that it's open source to leverage the community for improvements. Can't wait to try it!

This looks great @djaiss, I am always scared to use these tools because what happens when they are no longer updated/worked on? I used to have a Nimble account with thousands of relationships and notes and Jon from Nimble decided to delete accounts with no notice. At least with my spreadsheet I own it.

This is awesome - gotta try it out! I've been hacking together a mix of spreadsheet, twilio, and sendgrid. (similar to botwick https://www.producthunt.com/post...)

@djaiss love this idea. I've been complaining to my co-founders for years that there isn't a P(ersonal)RM app. Glad to see someone put in the effort to build one. One of the things I've always thought about is how helpful facebook (it's data, at least) could be in helping here - Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. as well. I'm terrified to ask some of my friends when their birthday is, because, I should know by now... Have you thought about making some of the logging/input more automatic? My worry is, if I can't prioritize the little things for my Friends, can I expect myself to worry about inputting details for everyone? Would love to hear your thoughts here

I want to combine this with Fullcontact (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) and have some pseudo-business in there. Example: that recruiter I spoke to about that job 4 years ago. Having something other than email searching would be great. The management part of it needs to be light, or it'll never be used. Marking movies is great, but something I doubt I'd do... although you sync that with Swarm/Day One and now you've got a thing.

Nice work !! love it

I'm pretty bad at putting in the effort to even put appointments in my calendar nevermind trying to manage my personal network with details - but I'd love to be that kind of person! I'm just not 😔 (yet anyway) Back in January @rrhoover mentioned he wanted to build a CRM for his personal relationships: https://twitter.com/rrhoover/sta... And I believe he hacked together a solution from Airtable 2.0 (which i use too) But this CRM software is built for maintaining personal relationships. The examples given: You know all those birthdays you forget? And when you last called your grandmother? When you last had coffee with that ex-colleague? Who did you lend that book to again? Do you remember the names of kids of the people you care about? Their birthdates? Or even the name of the significant other? Monica lets you remember them easily. Monica will remind you by email every important dates about each one of your contact. It can be about an anniversary, or to simply go out with your friend. Monica lets you record all the activities you’ve done with your friends, sorted by categories. You’ll always remember the last time you’ve done something with someone. Manage significant others - (I think better wording should be put here 😬 cc @djaiss ) Manage food preferencies Important dates about someone Reminders by emails Todos and tasks about someone Gifts management Record activities done with someone Information about the children

Product looks VERY nice and potentially a killer app for crazybusy™ people. I signed up and started using it but I don't understand how to edit an existing contact 😅 PS: any plan on monetizing it?

Like @rrhoover I was looking for a personal CRM and didn't find one. I also use Airtable as a personal CRM and it works well, but it's not built for personal relationships like @bentossell said. I am going to try and see if it works for my needs or not. Right now, the lack of mobile app might become a problem in the future if i use it a lot.

I like the idea, but I would like to see it easier to add existing contacts into it. I like the idea that is independent of social networking, but if you would allow users to import from a .vcf or even .csv file. Most of us already have this data in FB or our contact list already. Seems overly burdensome adding this all by hand again. I see you are going to work on an importer, which is great. But for now, I can't upvote just yet. Mobile app would be a definite dealmaker for me, as I already get too many emails. Years ago I got rid of birthday reminder emails for just that reason.

Love this product, lacks a function to upload contacts as .vcard

Founder here. Thanks for posting this small project of mine to Product hunt. I'm actually surprised by the reaction of the community. I built this tool for me primarily as I struggled to keep track of the lives my loved ones, especially since I live abroad and far away from my friends and family. So far it helped me, especially for the reminders of the birthdays of my friends kids. I could have used an old fashioned calendar but well, as an amateur developer, you can't help but create yet another app. So I did, exactly a year ago. I've thought of giving up about a thousand times because I thought that it was useless - then I tried the product myself for real and as I saw some benefits, I continued working on it. I just posted that link on Hacker News yesterday for fun and the reaction has been amazing. People seem to need this which makes me super happy. The repository on GitHub also seems to gain quite some traction quickly. What can I say. Thank you all for giving me more motivation to move forward with this. I think the first steps are to solve the many many bugs the community has found (it's crazy to see how many bugs you have and you don't encounter when you are your only user), create an importer and build an API. Then, we'll see. Thanks for the upvote, and for trying the product. Regis

Awesome! I've been looking for something like this for a while. Hoping for a mobile app somewhere down the line :)

Great idea! Tried it for a few minutes and this is what I'm missing top of the bat: 1. Possibility to invite my wife so that we can keep track of these things together. 2. Possibility to add a relationship between me and a contact (like "My daughters friend Leia's father Anakin").

Wow. Great idea. I have been trying to solve this problem for a while now. Best I could do was to email remind myself using a follow up service.

I really like the idea of this, but I miss the opportunity to make associations between different people. I've added my brother, his wife and their kids individually - and I would like to associate them. I know I can add children and significant others, but it would be nice to just pick from people that I've already added.

This reminds me of a guy that Malcom Gladwell spoke about in his book "The Tipping Point", who handled all of his contacts the old school way. I've been looking for a tool like this for a long time -- and I'm aware it's hard to build (as all CRMs are, because you usually have your individual style of managing relationships). I just wish I could sync the contacts from my phone / emails (Outlook) / Facebook friends with Monica, so I didn't have to type them in manually. And yes, at some point be able to add them immediately from texts, calls etc.

@rrhoover have you tried this?
