Build the app with Appaca
Tell Appaca "Build a personal CRM with contacts, interaction logs, birthday reminders, and a follow-up dashboard." Appaca creates the full app.

Set contact frequency goals
For each relationship, decide how often you want to stay in touch - weekly, monthly, quarterly. This sets your follow-up cadence.

Log interactions
After a call, coffee, or message, log a brief note: what you discussed, how they're doing, any follow-ups needed.
- 5
Build a follow-up dashboard
A view sorted by "last contact date" shows who you've been neglecting. Filter by contact frequency goal to see who is overdue.
- 6
Add birthday tracking
A filtered view showing birthdays in the next 30 days ensures you never miss an opportunity to reach out.
