Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Open-source personal relationship management for documenting your life
Monica is a web application that helps you organize and document interactions with family and friends. Think CRM for your personal relationships, not a social network.

Monica is an open-source Personal Relationship Management (PRM) system designed to help you remember and organize the details of your interactions with the people who matter most. Unlike social networks, Monica is private—built for your eyes only.
Ideal for anyone who wants to strengthen relationships by documenting life events, conversations, and important details. Monica has proven especially valuable for people with Asperger syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and introverts who benefit from structured relationship tracking.
Manage contacts with detailed relationship mapping, set automatic birthday reminders, log activities and tasks, maintain a personal diary, upload photos and documents, and organize everything with labels and custom fields. Monica supports multiple vaults, users, and 27 languages. It's self-hosted, giving you complete control over your data without tracking, ads, or AI integrations scanning your information.
Monica does one thing exceptionally well: helping you maintain more meaningful relationships through thoughtful documentation.
When teams consider Monica, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
