Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I recently started working on called Tend (an Android app built to help you automate the scheduling of your social life).
The idea originally came from a discussion on r/fossdroid about how hard it is to keep in touch with friends and extended family without relying on algorithm-driven social media or bloated, cloud-based business CRMs.
Most "Personal CRM" apps require you to upload your contacts to a random server. I wanted something that was 100% offline, private, and simple.
What it does: You can think of it as setting up cron jobs for your relationships.
Contact Cards: Create dedicated profiles for people you want to keep up with (Name, notes, phone, socials, etc.).
Custom Frequency: Set a "check-in" schedule (e.g., every 14 days, monthly, quarterly).
Smart Reminders: The app will notify you when it's time to reach out.
100% Offline: Everything is stored locally on your device via SQLite/Room. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.
I’d love your feedback! Since this is in the initial development phase, I’m looking for feedback on the features and the UI.
Repository: Github: Github Repo Codeberg: Codeberg repo
Well, I think it's on the description.
It's FOSS, offline, no account required, and others in the future. I honestly don't know much about Monica since I don't use it. I don't use web services that has a free and offline alternatives.
It's on early development so there's not really a huge difference.
Oh, Monica is a FOSS site you can selfhost, hence my question. But an offline version is pretty neat, especially if it directly integrates with the device systems (e.g. notifications, calendar, etc).
