Everything you need to manage your network. Nothing that compromises your privacy.
Most CRMs are built for sales teams to track pipeline. NexxusCRM is for you — someone who's realised that keeping up with the right people matters more than almost anything else in your career, and that you probably shouldn't be storing all of that in a SaaS product you don't control.
01
Contacts
Everyone in your professional network in one place — colleagues, clients, leads, mentors, recruiters, the person you met at that conference two years ago. Crucially, you can see the full history of a relationship at a glance, not just a name and a phone number.
- Multiple emails, phones, social links per contact — no arbitrary limits
- Full interaction history on every contact page
- Warmth scores so you can see which relationships are drifting before they're gone
- Smart groups with real filters: "Warm leads I haven't spoken to in 30 days", "Rails developers in London"
- Import from CSV, vCard, Google Contacts — export whenever you want
- Contact merge with field-level conflict resolution — deduplication that actually works

Companies
Companies get their own pages, not just a text field on a contact record. If you're targeting a company, keeping tabs on one, or just want to see all the people you know at a place in one view — it's all here.
- Full company profiles with notes, tags, and a running activity log
- See every contact you have at a company in one view
- Job posts, news, and feed items linked directly to a company
- When someone moves jobs, their company association updates — your network map stays current
03
Feed Reader
There's a feed reader built in — but it's not a general-purpose one. Everything is wired to your contact graph. A job posting at a company where you know three people looks different from a random listing. NexxusCRM knows the difference and surfaces it accordingly.
- RSS, Atom, Reddit, job boards, GitHub releases, Hacker News — subscribe to anything
- Items scored for relevance against your skills and network — the good stuff rises
- One-line AI summaries on every item — read 50 posts in a few minutes
- Link any feed item directly to a contact or company
- Job post parsing: pulls out title, company, location, salary, and tech stack automatically

Email accounts
Sync modes
04
Email Integration
A lot of your professional relationships essentially live in your inbox. NexxusCRM can connect to your email — on your device, not through a cloud sync — and use it to fill in your contact timelines automatically. You pick how much access to give it.
- iCloud Mail, Gmail, Fastmail, or any IMAP provider
- Metadata mode: just timestamps and frequency — warmth scoring without storing any content
- Full mode: emails synced locally into your encrypted database, fully searchable
- Full email thread history visible on each contact's page
- Works offline — sync happens locally, no middleman
05
Messaging Integration
A lot of real relationship maintenance happens over iMessage or WhatsApp, not email. NexxusCRM pulls those threads into your contact timelines too, so "last spoken to" actually means something.
- iMessage: reads directly from your Mac's local message database — no API, no login
- WhatsApp: import exported chat files and match them to existing contacts
- Telegram: live sync via the Telegram API
- All message threads feed into interaction history and warmth scoring

AI Layer
AI runs locally via Ollama — no API keys, no subscription, nothing sent anywhere. Small models handle the routine stuff like summaries and scoring. Bigger local models handle queries and reasoning. Cloud models are available if you want them, but you have to turn them on.
- Feed items scored for relevance based on your skills and who you know
- One-line summaries on every feed item
- Nudges when relationships need attention: "You haven't spoken to X in 90 days — they just changed jobs"
- Natural language queries against your contacts: "Who do I know at fintech companies in London?"
- Pre-call summaries: your full history with someone, condensed before you pick up the phone
- Draft follow-up messages using your actual interaction history as context
07
Interaction Timeline
Every call, email, message, meeting, and note — in one place per contact. Most of it populates automatically from your connected sources. The rest you log yourself, which takes about ten seconds with the keyboard shortcut.
- Log calls, meetings, and notes manually in a few seconds
- Auto-populated from email and messaging integrations
- Filter by interaction type, date, or contact
- One interaction can span multiple contacts — log a group meeting once
- Cmd+N from anywhere to log something without breaking your flow

Reminders & Keep-in-Touch
This is the one that actually matters for most people. Every morning you get a short list of who to reach out to today — based on the cadences you've set and how long it's been. No notification spam. Just a list you can work through.
- Set a follow-up cadence per contact and stop thinking about it
- Nudges when you've gone quiet: "You haven't spoken to X in 45 days"
- Morning digest — a manageable list, not a wall of overdue tasks
- Snooze and reschedule without losing the thread
- Calendar-aware: if you already have a meeting with someone today, the reminder stays quiet
- Native macOS notifications

Search
Cmd+K. Type anything. Contacts, notes, job posts, interactions — it finds them, fast.

LinkedIn Integration
Pull your LinkedIn network into NexxusCRM via the browser extension. Contacts, job changes, company updates — synced locally. LinkedIn doesn't need to know you're doing this.
- Import your LinkedIn connections via browser extension
- Get notified when contacts change jobs or companies
- Match LinkedIn profiles to existing contacts automatically
- Enrich contact records with LinkedIn data where fields are missing
