philotes
A personal CRM for the people who matter — not your pipeline.
philotes is a personal CRM for life, not work. Log interactions, jot notes
with @-mentions to link people together, track important dates, and let a
weekly review surface the relationships you said you'd reconnect with.
The app runs entirely locally with an embedded Postgres (PGlite) — no account, no cloud, no environment variables for local dev. Built on the premise that the strength of your relationships is one of the most reliable predictors of long-term wellbeing, and that those relationships drift mostly for lack of system support, not lack of care.
Stack: React 19 + Vite + TanStack Router on the frontend, Apollo Server + GraphQL + Drizzle on the backend, PGlite (or standalone Postgres) for storage. Optional Docker deployment with persistent volumes.
