Standard CRMs are for data. PANOT is for people. Networking isn't about collecting business cards; it's about remembering the small details that make us human. PANOT is the personal relationship manager designed to help you capture, organize, and cherish every connection in your life. Forget about cold lists of names and numbers. Build a context-rich history of your interactions and never ask "where did we leave off?" again. CAPTURE AT THE SPEED OF SPEECH Don't let valuable details fade away after a meeting or a coffee chat. With PANOT’s voice-first interface, you can instantly record and save your interactions on the go. Reduce the friction of typing and keep your phone in your pocket while you focus on the person in front of you. A TIMELINE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS Every person has a story. PANOT organizes every interaction into a clear, chronological timeline for each contact. When did we last speak? What did we discuss? When is the next follow-up? Keep the conversation flowing naturally by having the full history right at your fingertips. PROFILES THAT FEEL HUMAN Move beyond basic "Name" and "Job Title." Create detailed, rich descriptions that capture the essence of a person. Store what matters: their story, their interests, how you met, or that specific book they recommended. Turn a contact entry into a real representation of a human being. PRIVATE, SECURE & ALWAYS AVAILABLE Your relationships belong to you. PANOT is built with a "Local-First" architecture, ensuring the app works flawlessly even without an internet connection. Your data is stored locally for instant access and securely synced to the cloud, protected by encryption both in transit and at rest. KEY FEATURES: β€’ Voice Recording: Quickly log interactions using your voice. β€’ Interaction History: Link your interactions to specific contacts to build a timeline. β€’ Rich Context: Flexible field to describe people in your own words. β€’ Fast Search: Find contacts by keywords in their description, not just their names. β€’ Import & Sync: Seamlessly integrates with your existing device contacts.

Rootkeep

Rootkeep is a personal CRM for your real life - the friends, family, mentors, and colleagues you actually care about. It tells you who needs you right now, helps you keep the promises you make, and remembers the details so you can show up like the thoughtful person you want to be. Inspired by the relationship philosophy of "Never Eat Alone", Rootkeep is built on one idea: strong relationships grow from small, consistent touches - not grand gestures. WHO NEEDS YOU RIGHT NOW Open the app and see exactly who to reach out to today. Rootkeep ranks the people you've gone quiet with, surfaces birthdays before you miss them, and turns your good intentions into one short, doable list. KEEP EVERY PROMISE Said "let's grab coffee soon" or "I'll send you that article"? Log it as a promise and Rootkeep holds you to it - front and center until you follow through. Checking one off feels as good as it should. LOG A CATCH-UP IN SECONDS A call, a coffee, a chance meeting - capture it in a few taps before you forget. Add who it was with, what you talked about, and what you promised. Follow-ups become reminders automatically. REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS Kids' names, favorite wine, the job change, the move to Lisbon. Keep notes on every person so your next conversation picks up right where the last one ended. NEVER MISS A BIRTHDAY Birthdays surface right in your daily list, exactly when it's time to reach out - no separate calendar to check. SET RELATIONSHIP GOALS Want to reconnect with old colleagues or invest in a mentorship? Link people to goals and let your daily nudges keep you moving. AI THAT HELPS, NEVER BLOCKS An optional AI advisor helps you think through your relationships - who to prioritize, how to reconnect after a long silence, what to say. Every feature works fully without it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account. No sign-up. No tracking. - Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud - never on our servers, because we don't have any. - Works completely offline. FREE, NO CATCH No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Your network isn't a spreadsheet. It's the people who will show up for you - if you show up for them. Rootkeep helps you show up.
