If you're on a Mac, I actively maintain one called Queue (https://queue.community), and it's what I use to manage my own relationships.

Whereas Monica is very manual, Queue syncs your Apple Mail, Messages, phone calls, FaceTimes, and calendar to create a timeline of each of your relationships automatically, and reminds you to reach out when it's been a while. Message content is analyzed on device and never leaves your machine.

I charge $49/year, so quite a bit less than Dex.

It's super clever to leverage the Contacts app as your database. How do you handle storing the timeline of interactions, which I would think needs more structure than a raw notes field?

Full disclosure: I make Queue, which is also a personal CRM with deep Contacts app integration. That said I'm just genuinely curious.

I love the tips on what to write. I make a Personal CRM called Queue (https://queue.community) and the biggest reason people stop using it is that they just don't know what to say when it's time to reach out. The truth is people on the receiving end of catch up requests are almost always happy to chat, and it's often enough just to say hi.
