When you search for "CRM," you get hundreds of tools designed to track sales pipelines, qualified leads, and deal stages. But what about remembering your mom's favorite restaurant? Personal relationships aren't sales funnels.
The Problem with Enterprise CRMs for Personal Use
- Wrong mental model: People aren't "contacts" to be "managed"
- Feature bloat: You don't need pipeline stages for your brother
- Cold language: "Last touchpoint" feels transactional
- No voice capture: Built for desk workers, not real life
What a Personal CRM Actually Needs
1. Effortless Capture
You're walking home after dinner with friends. You need to capture "Lisa wants to visit Japan, hates cilantro, just started pottery class" in under 10 seconds. If it takes longer, you won't do it.
2. Relationship-First Organization
Information should be organized around people, not projects. When you think of someone, you want all their preferences, wishes, and history in one view.
3. AI That Understands Context
"Dad's birthday is coming up, and he mentioned wanting a new coffee grinder" — a personal CRM should surface this automatically, not require you to remember to check.
4. Privacy by Default
Your memories about loved ones are intimate. The tool should encrypt everything and never use your data for training AI models.
