Personal CRM or a people notebook: which one fits you?
A personal CRM helps you keep up with a lot of people. Sunli is being built for the few who are closest. Both are reasonable; they suit different lives.

Each fact about another app was read on its own website on the date shown, with a link. Cells we have not checked say so. If you make one of these apps and something here is wrong, tell us and we correct it the same week.
What each one does well
- Monica is open source, so you can run it on your own server and keep everything there.
- Dex is made for keeping up a wide network: people you meet once and want to remember.
- Mesh lets you start for free and works for teams as well as for one person.
Which one fits you
If you meet many people for work and want to remember each one, a personal CRM is built for that.
If the people you think about are a partner, parents, a few friends and maybe someone far away, Sunli is planned for that: one small thing a day, and what each of them wrote about what helps.
