I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. I think it has to have automated capture. Get everything from email account, text messages and the calendar to fill out the relationship.

Founder of Monica here. Nope. Reading from an email account is absolutely out of the question - it's way too invasive in my opinion.

I know someone in the community is writing importers from several sources of data (Telegram, for instance).

I would like to use this product but it feels irresponsible to do so. Why are we still making technology that stores such personal information without data being encrypted end-2-end?

1. Do you want to be able to search your data? Full encryption would make it impossible. 2. This is why it's open source. If you need full privacy, download it and run it yourself.

This could be a tradeoff. But also, I have full disk encryption and an index I can search that is itself encrypted. Eventually doing this over internet wires will not be an issue, and may not be much of an issue for many already.

To your second point: indeed this could be run locally instead, if one is that concerned about storing sensitive information online
