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.
It 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 more reliable predictors of long-term wellbeing, and that they drift mostly for lack of system support, not lack of care.
Stack: React 19 + Vite + TanStack Router, Apollo Server + GraphQL + Drizzle, PGlite or standalone Postgres. Optional Docker deployment with persistent volumes.
