Overview

Dex is a personal CRM for keeping track of the people in your network. It combines contacts, reminders, notes, and timeline-based context so you can remember where you left off and follow up at the right time.

The product is positioned for personal and professional relationship management rather than sales pipeline tracking. It connects with sources like LinkedIn, email, calendar apps, and messaging services, then keeps contact details and interactions organized in one place.

Core features

Unified contact view

See contacts in one place by importing from LinkedIn, Facebook, iCloud, Gmail, CSV, and other supported sources.

Reminders and nudges

Set keep-in-touch reminders so Dex can prompt you when it is time to reach out or follow up on an important date.

Notes and interaction history

Save notes and timeline entries to remember how you met, prior conversations, work history, family details, gifts, and other context.

LinkedIn updates

Sync LinkedIn network changes and receive updates when a connection changes jobs or title, creating a reason to reconnect.

Email and calendar context

Connect email and calendar sources to surface relevant conversations and calendar context alongside relationship records.

Fast workflows

Use keyboard shortcuts and mobile access to add people quickly, review context, and manage contacts on the go.
