Frequently Asked Questions
What does Monica actually help me do day to day?
Monica helps you organize your personal relationships by keeping contact details, interaction logs, and notes about friends and family in one place. It sends reminders for important dates like birthdays, tracks gifts you have given or plan to give, and lets you manage small tasks related to each person. It is designed so you can stay on top of your network without treating people like leads.
How is Monica different from CRM tools aimed at sales teams?
Monica is a personal CRM, not a sales tool. There are no pipelines, deals, or quotas, and the model is based on people rather than accounts. Everything is framed around relationships, activities, and life events rather than revenue. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed, with a free self-hostable community edition and a paid hosted cloud option for convenience.
Can I self-host Monica and keep my data private?
Yes. Monica is open source under AGPL-3.0 and designed to be self-hosted, which is how most users run it. Your relationship data lives on your own server, and Docker images make deployment straightforward. This privacy-first, self-hosted approach is the main reason people switch to it from hosted personal organizers.
