The problem

Relationships do not live neatly in one tab

Notes sit in three apps, context lives in your head, and the “real” org chart never matches how work actually happens.

  • Threads and docs scatter across mail, chat, and files—then you walk into a meeting half-informed.
  • Heavy sales CRMs optimize for pipeline, not for people you already know and need to stay close to.
  • Spreadsheets and Notion boards go stale the week after you build them.
  • You mean to check in, but life gets loud and names slip.
  • Birthdays and milestones are buried in different places—or nowhere written down.
  • Generic contact apps store numbers, not the story of how you know someone.
  • Context is fragmented across silos; there is no single local graph keyed on Person.
  • Cloud CRMs duplicate sensitive relationship data onto vendor infrastructure.
  • Ad-hoc notes lack stable foreign keys into people, projects, and time.

The Calero answer

One private graph on your Apple devices

People, notes, interactions, projects, and optional org structure—local-first, with optional iCloud (CloudKit) sync across your own devices.

  • Capture in seconds (Quick Add, share sheet) before the moment fades.
  • Circles and saved filters match the hat you are wearing today.
  • Dashboard and reminders answer “who needs me next?” without a sales pipeline.
  • Gentle reminders and a timeline of touchpoints—not another social feed.
  • Tags, circles, and notes so the next message is easy to write.
  • Your data stays on your devices; optional sync uses Apple’s stack.
  • SwiftData model with Person at the center; projects and org are optional overlays.
  • Core Spotlight and App Intents integrate with system conventions.
  • JSON export for backup and portability—no Calero-hosted graph.

Built for people

Relationship memory—not a sales pipeline CRM

Calero is for staying thoughtful with clients, colleagues, and communities you already have—not for cold outbound or funnel stages. When you need structure, projects and org mapping sit beside human context.

Think personal CRM without the creep factor: no ads, no selling your graph. Just a calmer place to remember who matters.

No multi-tenant SaaS database for your graph: primary store is on-device; CloudKit is optional Apple ID sync.

People & influence

Go beyond the address book: titles, tags, influence, and relationship strength—plus merge duplicates and vCard import when you are consolidating people from Contacts or mail.

Enrich contacts with tags and simple influence scores. Merge duplicates and pull in vCards when you clean house.

Person rows hold contact fields, tags, and optional 1–5 scores. Merge collapses duplicates; vCard import maps standard fields into the same schema.

Notes & interactions

Notes attach to people or projects with tags. Log interactions with dates and summaries so follow-ups are evidence-based.

Attach notes to people or projects. Log calls and meetings with a date so the next follow-up is grounded.

Notes attach to Person and/or Project with typed tags. Interactions are dated events with summary text, feeding timeline queries and search.

Contact circles & saved filters

Define contact circles (e.g. clients, exec team, program X) and switch the active circle from the toolbar. Save filters on People and Projects to jump back to the same view in one tap.

Put people in circles (clients, team, friends) and switch the active circle. Save filters to reopen the same list in one tap.

ContactCircle membership is a many-to-many on Person. Active circle ID is global UI state; list queries add a WHERE on circle membership. SavedFilter stores predicate snapshots for People and Projects.

Dashboard you can shape

Customisable cards, a configurable priority pipeline, pins for people and projects, reminders, a note-to-self strip, and rule-based insights—so the first screen answers “who needs you?” and “what matters now?”

Custom cards, pins, reminders, and light insights so the home screen answers “who needs me?” at a glance.

Dashboard sections reorder per user; pipeline cards read from the same SwiftData store as people and projects. Pins are entity shortcuts; reminders use the in-app scheduler.

FAQ

Quick answers

Who is Calero for?

Anyone who juggles real relationships—consulting, leadership, community building, or a busy personal network—and wants memory without a heavyweight CRM.

People who want to be more intentional with friends, family, and the professionals they rely on.

Users who want a local graph with optional CloudKit sync and system integrations (Spotlight, Shortcuts, share extension).

Where does my data live?

On your devices by default. If you enable iCloud, Apple syncs your database via CloudKit to your other signed-in devices—Calero does not host your graph.

On your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. iCloud is optional; you can export a copy from Settings.

SwiftData store locally; optional NSPersistentCloudKitContainer-style sync through entitlements. See documentation for export and backup.

Is this a replacement for Salesforce or HubSpot?

No. Those tools optimize for revenue operations. Calero is for personal and professional relationship memory—notes, follow-ups, projects, and optional org views.

It is closer to a thoughtful address book plus journal than a sales tool.

Different product category: no opportunity stages, no marketing automation—focused on local relationship data.

What platforms are supported?

iOS 17+, iPadOS 17+, and macOS 14+ with a universal purchase where available.

iPhone, iPad, and Mac—pick up where you left off on whichever device you have.
