Monica

Monica is an open-source personal CRM for organizing information about friends, family, colleagues, and other important people. Contact records can include contact methods, significant others, children, pets, private notes, reminders, gifts, and money owed. The service also stores relationship notes, journal entries, and activity history for calls, meals, trips, events, and other occasions. Contacts can be imported from vCard or CSV files, with duplicates displayed before merging. A REST API supports contact-data imports and exports and automation of parts of the application. Monica says it does not sell personal data, show ads, or use private account contents to train models. Hosted accounts include managed backups and email support; self-hosting uses Docker or manual installation, with users maintaining infrastructure and backups. Self-hosted Monica is free; Hosted Monica is $90 a year.
