Hey Product Hunt, I’m Alex :)
It might sound like a cliché, but I originally built Persodex for myself. I’ve been self-employed for over 15 years now, which means I’ve met a lot of people - clients, freelancers, founders, partners, and friends. The problem was that, over time, my address book had become little more than a list of names.
I could usually remember who someone was, but not always where we had met, what we had talked about, which company they worked for at the time, or why I had saved their number in the first place. Important context was all the place, across notes, messages, Instagram, and my own memory (which doesn't exactly get any better with age 👴🏻😅).
I tried a few personal CRMs, but they all felt like business software. Too many fields. Too many features. And almost all of them wanted me to move my contacts into their own system. Privacy has always been extremely important to me - perhaps that’s just my German side ;)
That became the core idea behind Persodex.
Persodex works directly with the native iOS address book. Notes are stored in the existing notes field, tags are saved as native contact groups, and your data remains accessible even without Persodex. I did not want to create another platform people would feel locked into.
That principle shaped the entire launch: keep it native, private, simple, and focused on helping people remember people.
Anyway, I hope this answers some of your questions. I’d love to hear what you think!

Native contact groups for tags is the right call for the no lock in promise. The part I would be curious about, having built iOS apps that touch CNContactStore, is iCloud sync. Group membership through the Contacts framework has a history of showing up empty or duplicated on a second device right after a sync, since groups sync separately from the contact records themselves. Has that shown up in testing across devices, or does storing tags as groups avoid the issue entirely?
