Personal CRM
People you want to stay in touch with — last/next contact dates.
Overview
The Personal CRM is the antidote to that quiet, uncomfortable realisation that you have not spoken to someone you care about in nine months. You add the people you want to stay in touch with, set a cadence, and the CRM tracks the last time you actually were in contact and surfaces who is overdue. Friends, parents, mentors, former colleagues, the people who are easy to drift away from when work and family take all the oxygen.
This is not a sales pipeline tool, and it pointedly avoids the language of "leads" and "conversion". The intent is to apply a small amount of structure to the part of life that suffers most from neglect, the slowly-cooling friendships and family ties that nobody schedules but everybody regrets losing. Used lightly, it turns "I really should call my aunt" into a list of three names you can act on in twenty minutes.
How it works
You add a person with a name, an optional relationship label, a target contact cadence such as monthly or quarterly, and the date you were last in contact. The home view sorts people by how overdue they are. When you reach out, you update the last-contact date with a single click, and the next-due date recalculates automatically.
Entries live in your browser's local storage. There is no integration with email, calendar, or messaging apps, and no record of conversation content beyond any notes you choose to add.
Examples
- Tracking a friend with a six-week cadence, overdue after a busy quarter, prompted to send a quick message.
- Listing parents on a weekly cadence, marked done every Sunday call.
- Keeping a former mentor on a quarterly cadence with notes about their recent move and new role.
- Capturing the three colleagues from a previous job you want to keep in touch with, on a six-month cadence.
FAQ
Is this for work contacts or personal?
It is built for personal relationships, but the same structure can be used for professional networking if you find it useful.
Does it import contacts from my phone?
No. Entries are added manually. The intent is a curated short list, not your full address book.
What counts as "contact"?
You decide. Most people count a real conversation, a phone or video call, or a substantive message thread, and exclude likes or reposts.
Is the data private?
Yes. Everything stays in your browser's local storage on this device.
Can I add notes about each person?
Yes. A notes field per person is useful for kids' names, job titles, last topic of conversation, and similar context.
