What is it?

Meerkat CRM is a self-hosted tool for keeping track of the people in your personal life. It works like a digital rolodex: you store contacts, group them into circles such as friends, family or work, and record relationships like spouses and children. It can remind you of birthdays and upcoming contacts to get in touch with, and it keeps notes such as dietary preferences attached to each person.

Each contact has a social-network-style timeline of notes and activities, which can involve one or several contacts. General notes can be used for journaling. A network graph visualizes contacts and their relationships. Reminders can be delivered by e-mail via SMTP or Resend.

The project ships as a single Docker image that bundles the Go backend and the React frontend, using SQLite for storage. It supports CSV, VCF and Monica imports, CSV and VCF exports, CardDAV for syncing with a phone's contacts, calendar connections, webhooks, and SSO.
