What does Monica cost on Podless?

At the recommended size (1 cores · 2 GB RAM · 10 GB Storage) about €4.00 a month, billed by the hour. Stop Monica and you only pay for storage.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. No server, no Docker, no terminal commands. You click start and Monica runs. Updates are tested on our own instances first and then rolled out.

Where does my data live?

In your own Monica instance on servers in Germany and France; bulk storage sits in Frankfurt. Add your own S3 bucket and we back up there daily, encrypted.

Monica is open source and keeps running on your own server. You fetch the files over a time-limited SFTP access and reach the database with the credentials from the dashboard.

What Monica does

Monica remembers what you know about the people in your life: birthdays, kids, preferences, the last conversation and what you promised. Not a CRM for business — one for you.

Reminders nudge you when a call is due; the journal and notes keep what would otherwise slip away.

Contacts with notes, life events and relationships
Reminders for birthdays and conversations
Journal and tasks per person
vCard import and export at any time

Good to know before the first start: The first visit creates your account. You can then close registration so nobody else signs up on your instance.
