24 alternatives to I made a companion app for Monica CRM

Monica CRM is a great open source contact manager, but currently there's no official mobile client. I made a simple 'Quick Add' app for Android that works well for me. It might work well for you, too. Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twilam.mon... Why? Adding contacts via the web interface is a little slow for me, because: 1) I live in China, and connections to servers outside China aren't always fast or reliable. 2) I often want to add notes for a new contact, and 3) I sometimes want to add contacts when I have no internet connection,…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I made a companion app for Monica CRM launched in 2019; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Monica helps you remember the people you care about: what is happening in their life, important dates, previous conversations, and when to get back in touch. Private, open source, self-hostable.

    Hey HN, I built a personal CRM that stores everything in the native iPhone Contacts app instead of another database. The goal was to make the Contacts app I’ve used for years actually useful. I’d love to hear what you think. Especially whether you prefer extending native apps over adopting entirely new tools. Since this is one of the first releases, i would love to get any feedback you have! Alex

And we often struggle to make time for the people that matter most to us. According to a Harvard study from 2021, "36% of all Americans [...] feel “serious loneliness.”" [1] We created an app to help people focus on their most personal relationships and guide them through forming more meaningful connections with them, in the hopes to combat the "Loneliness Epidemic". We just…

    Hello Community! My name is Charles-Eugene Loubao, I am a software developer who recently turned into an Indie Maker and I am sharing my new product with you today.

    I've moved around a lot - and I realized I'm losing track of friends across a lot of apps, locations, and time-zones. At work, we've got a CRM for clients, to remind ourselves to message people. I just needed something much smaller, just to remind myself to message friends and family. Friends, best friends, and family have different cadences that this will generate tickets to remind you to message them. Feel free to use, as I'll continue to host this just for myself regardless.
