This is the type of software I would really prefer not to have on a server. The only part of this I would want not on my device locally would be an encrypted backup.


It's self hosted, so you could just run it on the local machine. It's a pity it uses MySQL because pgcrypto could enable you to make the database publicly visible.


Founder of Monica/Chandler here. We support Postgre too, and SQLite on Chandler.


Very cool. I will give this is a shot this weekend.


This would be great stand alone on a phone.


Yes, but we don't know how to program on mobile. And if we took contractors, that would cost a lot of money, probably 20-30k USD.


So... you are just going to ignore Salesforce? One of the biggest SaaS with all customer relationship data.


Monica is quite different though - it's primarily for personal relationships, rather than professional ones. The tagline on the linked homepage is "Monica helps you organize the social interactions with your loved ones."


Sorry, I was commenting on the "not to have on a server" part. People have far more sensitive stuff on servers. Surely, CRM info of a big contract has way more at stake that notes about our mother in law. In fact, we have centralized all this sensitive customer data of so many big companies of the world in another company.


Run it in a portable VM? That’s what I would do.
