KeepContact vs Kithmap

KeepContact is an iPhone personal CRM for people who want to remember relationships and follow up deliberately. Users choose how often to connect with each person, then receive reminders when that interval has passed. Contacts can be grouped into circles such as family, friends, and work; calls and meetings can be recorded with notes, building an interaction history. The App Store listing also names voice memo transcription, business card scanning, relationship statistics, Siri Shortcuts, calendar suggestions, and home screen widgets. KeepContact works offline without requiring an account or login. Its maker says names and notes remain on the device, with optional synchronization through the user's private iCloud, and says the app uses no analytics or advertising trackers and does not upload imported contacts. Contact and microphone permissions are optional. The listing says AI summaries and message suggestions use Apple's on-device model and that notes are not sent to a server. The app is iPhone-only and requires iOS 26.2 or later. Its free plan is free, with up to 15 contacts and three reminders; Pro options include monthly, yearly, and one-time payment plans.

Kithmap is a personal relationship CRM for keeping track of people and connections. Its graph lets users label links such as family, friends, partners, colleagues and classmates. People can be added by typing or pasting names, then organized with tags or groups and given photos and notes. Users can set a follow-up cadence, see who is overdue, record conversations and receive birthday reminders.

Kithmap describes itself as a single-user tool for personal memory, not a sales CRM. It runs on the web and macOS, and users sign in with Google. Optional connections to Google Contacts, Gmail and Calendar are subject to the access a user authorizes. Kithmap says Gmail thread bodies are not stored, although thread headers and relevant calendar events are cached on its server; for the Mac companion, message bodies remain on the Mac and only derived log entries are sent. Users can export data as JSON or delete an account in Settings. The open beta plan is free. Kithmap says it is US-only and not yet GDPR-compliant for EU residents.
