@ghostpaw/affinity

Agent contacts: people, promises and yearly dates, with a radar for who is drifting.

A local social CRM: contacts, identities, relationships, journal events, commitments and recurring dates in one SQLite file. One self-contained binary per platform, an MCP server, and a zero-dependency TypeScript library.
