In their own words
Coleva
Coleva is an iPhone personal CRM and relationship journal that organizes short written or dictated entries into memories about people, places, and moments. On-device intelligence extracts people, relationships, dates, and details, with a one-tap undo. A living map shows connections in colour-coded groups, while search can answer plain-English questions from the user's notes. Birthday lead-time reminders and check-in nudges help users follow up. The Free plan is limited to 20 people and includes journal capture, the living map, birthdays, and Ask Coleva. Coleva Plus adds unlimited people, important-date reminders, calendar-synced nudges, AI assist, career and location trails, photo avatars, app lock, and custom map colours. Plus costs $3.99 a month or $39 a year. Notes, diary entries, relationships, and attached photos are stored locally on the iPhone; the maker says it has no server holding user content. Optional Cloud Assist can send limited text or profile information to OpenAI's API when enabled in Settings, and can be turned off. Coleva requires iOS 26.0 or later.
Kinu
Kinu is a private personal CRM for remembering details and important dates about friends and family. It can remind users when a date arrives or when they have not been in touch for a while. For each person, users can keep moments, private and voice notes, dates, and rituals. It is designed for personal relationships rather than sales contacts or a larger social network, and has no feeds, followers, likes, or public profiles.
After sign-in, Kinu works offline and saves changes to the device first. Relationship data is local by default; users can enable free encrypted backup or paid encrypted sync. When either is enabled, data is encrypted on the device before it leaves and remains encrypted in transit and at rest. Voice notes stay on the device on every plan, and data can be exported at any time. Kinu is available on Android, iOS, and web. The free plan supports up to 10 people; Kinu Plus adds unlimited people and encrypted sync for $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year.
