I always wanted a personal CRM that reminded me when it was a good time to reach out to someone, and where I could read about past conversations.

At that time there weren’t a lot of these apps/services, so I created a simple app that did just that. Keep notes of conversations per day per contact, set a (recurring) reminder, organize with tags and have birthdays reminders and suggestions.

Since I use iOS it’s currently for iOS only. And most focus went to iPhone. The iPad version is a bit rough.

I’ll be monitoring this thread for most requested features, and learn more about what people look for in such an app/service. And of course reach out to me of you’d like to talk more!

Feel free to give it a try if you’re on iOS. Social Contact Journal: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/social-contact-journal/id118...


For me, monicahq.com has all the features I would ever need in a personal CRM except syncing with a living contact registry (Contacts.app, Google etc.). Have a look at their feature list.


In 2018 Sketch crossed 1,000,000 paying customers. Sketch license is $99/year.

See their official announcement: https://blog.sketchapp.com/sketch-raises-20m-in-series-a-fun...


They offer education discount as well for $50/yr plus the $69/yr renewal someone else mentioned. So it’s definitely not a clear $100M mark but I’d say they’re doing good


I believe it's $69 to renew an existing license.

As an aside, really like having it native, main reason why I haven't switched to Figma.


Why do they need to raise money with this much revenue?

No surprise. A 250MB app that needs updates every week, can’t show your friends most recent updates on a chronological timeline, doesn’t let you chat with tour friends, analyzes everything within the app including maybe facial emotions, and keeps sending useless notifications to make you open the app; no wonder people are fed up and delete it.


Also eating battery, always wanting to do stuff in the background, showing ads that make it seems like it's listening to your conversations.


I’ve created a simple app for myself that lets me keep track of all my conversations, and it encourages me to keep in touch with all my friends, family, (ex)colleagues.

If you like friendly contact reminders or like to recall what you talked about with friends whom you don’t meet every so often, give it a try. You can create your own timeline with conversations, photos, and other important things. As well as general background information. It can send you reminders to talk, and birthday reminders.

The data is in your control, stays on your phone, is not synced. An internet connection is not required.

While on a similar topic, what would be a good primer on blockchain?


I found this article being a good intro to some of the concepts of blockchain and how it works: http://www.banterly.net/2016/12/31/blockchain-beyond-the-hyp...


I thought this 45 minute talk by Stefan Tilkov was great: https://youtu.be/li3rfBAP_fE


OT. Can I contact you to review my portfolio?


Sure, my email is in my profile
