Show HN: Contrack – Self-hosted contact manager and people search (github.com)

2 points by arvarik 10d ago ↗ HN

I got into homelabbing a year ago and have been deploying OSS and making some of my own to address some pain points in my everyday life.

One particular area I thought I could improve was keeping in touch with people.

Well that first required having a centralized place to see all my contacts. I have some friends on my Google contacts, other relationships on LinkedIn and even some in Facebook.

A secondary need is something that's been blowing up recently with people search. LLMs + Search are surprisingly good at aggregating relevant data and parsing through for relevant information.

And finally a last need is to keep me disciplined and remind me to reach out to people when it's been a while.

And thus I made Contrack! Aggregate your contacts, smart dedupe, and enrich with people search to get a local repo of your contacts with up-to-date info. Track your contacts as well to remind yourself to keep in touch :)

I saw this the other day, and seemed pretty cool! I kinda moved away from using Monica CRM, not because it failed me...but more so because i simply no longer needed a CRM per se. Still, the fact that self-hosting Contrack seems that slim is a really great attraction! Also, props to the dev for crafting some comparisons to other popular, known CRMs; well done!
