Warmth, not pipeline
A warmth score per person — not per "deal". You see who's cooling off, who you owe a message, who you haven't met in months.
A Personal CRM that doesn't act like one
A quiet app for the people who matter to you.
Local-first Personal CRM for the people who matter. Lifetime pricing, end-to-end-encrypted, no acquisition exit, no analytics that follow you.

Manifesto
Five promises.
No fine print.
-
Your data, your device
Local-first by default. End-to-end encrypted sync is optional, never required.
-
We track nothing
Plausible self-hosted, zero third-party scripts. Your reading isn't anyone's data.
-
Pay-once Lifetime
€69 once, yours forever. Cloud sync is a separate optional €4.99/mo subscription if you don't want to self-host.
-
We won't sell out
If we ever do, the source code is released open. Public commitment, not just a promise.
-
Export anytime
Plain Markdown, readable without our app. No lock-in, no migration script.
What Endearist does
Six things no other CRM does this way.
Built for people, not pipelines. Every feature exists because it helps you actually maintain a relationship.
Cadence per person
Set per person how often you'd like to reach out — weekly for a partner, twice a year for a cousin. Gentle reminders, never streaks.
AI with your key
Bring your own GPT / Claude / Gemini key for message drafts and journal summaries. Or stay fully offline — Endearist works without AI.
Relationship journal
One line or one paragraph per encounter. Searchable, AI-summarisable, exportable as plain Markdown.
Pets, kids, families
First-class — not custom fields. Dunbar's middle circle (your 50) belongs together; Endearist models that.
Calm by default
No streaks, no badges, no FOMO. The app earns five minutes of your attention, then gets out of the way.

What we’re thinking about.
Research, practice, sometimes both — anything that leads to taking relationships seriously.

Address book spring cleaning: the one-hour annual ritual

The annual network review: a December ritual for your relationships
