Dex — Personal CRM and Relationship Manager

Dex is a personal CRM designed to help professionals consolidate their relationships from multiple sources (primarily LinkedIn, Gmail, and other tools) into a single, private, easy-to-use workspace. It automates updates to contacts when titles or details change, reduces manual data entry, and provides reminders and context to help you nurture meaningful connections.

Key value propositions:

• Auto-sync with LinkedIn and other sources to keep contact details up to date
• Centralized, private repository for personal and professional relationships
• Lightweight alternative to heavy CRM systems like Salesforce, focused on personal networking
• Browser extension and mobile apps to manage relationships on the go
• Data export and delete controls to protect user privacy

How Dex Works

1. Connect your sources. Link LinkedIn, Gmail, and other compatible sources to Dex.
2. Automatic updates. Dex monitors your network and notifies you when a connection changes their title or other important details.
3. Store important context. Keep notes on how you met, educational history, work history, important dates, gifts ideas, events, and more.
4. Stay organized anywhere. Use Dex’s browser extension or mobile apps to access and update your relationships from any device.
5. Privacy-first. Dex is subscription-based, with a commitment to not selling data and giving you full data control (export or delete at any time).

How to Use Dex

• Install the Browser Extension to manage relationships within LinkedIn, Gmail, Facebook, and more from your existing workflow.
• Use the Mobile App (iOS/Android) to maintain relationships on the go.
• Build profiles for each contact with notes on when/how you met, education history, work history, important dates, and relationship context.
