About

PersonalCRM.me

Features
Read full description

PersonalCRM is a personal CRM for the people who matter, not another sales tool. No deals, no pipelines, no revenue columns. Just the human side: who you know, how you know them, and when you last spoke. You mean to stay in touch. Then months pass, and reaching out starts to feel awkward. PersonalCRM fixes that with the smallest possible amount of work. WHAT IT DOES • Ping — log that you talked in two seconds, with a note if you want one • A cadence per person — weekly for the close ones, yearly for the rest • Reminders — birthdays, follow-ups and overdue contacts, at the hour you pick • One page per person — cadence, open follow-ups and your shared history • Meetings — who was there, and what mattered • Networks — group people by work, friends, family, or anything you like A LIST YOU FINISH The home screen shows who needs a ping and what is due today. When there is nothing left, it says so and leaves you alone. No streaks, no badges nagging you into opening the app. BUILT FOR iOS Native SwiftUI, not a web view wrapped in an icon. Notifications are actionable: log a ping straight from the lock screen without opening the app. Sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a one-time email code — no password to forget. ONE ACCOUNT, TWO CLIENTS The app and personalcrm.me share the same account. Ping someone on your phone and it is on your desktop a second later. Import your existing contacts from Notion, a spreadsheet, or a LinkedIn or Google export on the web. FOR AI ASSISTANTS PersonalCRM has a documented API and an MCP server, so an assistant like Claude can log a ping or add a contact for you. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No ads. No tracking. Nothing sold or shared. Your data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt) and the app is GDPR-native. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, at any time, without asking anyone. Made in Munich.
