Howdy, y’all!

We’re everything* you need to wrangle your contacts

Allow your people to update their e-mails, phone numbers, and mailing addresses quickly, easily, and securely. All run on a self-hosted server.

Yee-haw!

*Everything being a work-in-progress. See our roadmap.

What’s on-offer?

Contact Horse allows you to collect and manage the contact information from the people in your life—on your terms... not Big Tech’s. It’s an application that you install on your own server or, should you prefer, hosted by us on our secure cloud.—

We’re making software that’s personal and human-scale.

—Hosted services coming soon.

Why Contact Horse?

Say ā€œnaw, naw, honey I’m goodā€ to overpriced CRMs, unnecessary complexity, and the progressive enshittification that disrupts our collective realities in service of ā€œthe algorithmā€ā€¦ and the vultures.

Simple & Clean

No bloated features or complexity. Just clean, effective contact management that works.

Own Your Data

Your data stays on your server. No third-party access, no data mining. Privacy first.

Pay Once

No monthly licensing fees, no seat limitations, no subscriptions. No bull.

Not comfortable setting it up yourself? Don’t have an IT department? During this launch special, we’ll set it up for you. Just ask us to help after purchase and we will set up a time.

Built for the personal web, not the ā€œcorporate webā€

Clean architecture, modern stack, and friendly features make Contact Horse easy to deploy, customize, and maintain for those who love to stay connected and in control.

Docker Ready

Pre-packaged Docker container for easy deployment on any system that supports containerization.

Your Database

Data stays on your infrastructure. Use your preferred database setup and backup strategies.

Easy Customization

Clean, well-documented code makes it simple to add features or modify the interface.

Self-Contained

No external dependencies or API calls required. Runs completely offline if needed.

Security First

Built with security best practices. You control access, authentication, and data encryption.

Just $49? Only a one-time payment? Is this 1989?

That’s the size of it, partner.

Contact Horse, during this launch special, is just $49 (plus any applicable VAT/taxes). No ongoing licensing, no per-user fees, no support contracts, nothing.

Oh, and we donate 1% of our receipts to climate action.

Get all updates we ever make to this software for free. Use it as much or as little as you want. It is yours. (Obviously, you just can’t resell it in addition to some other obvious restrictions our lawyers made us put in the License. But, it is very permissive and likely moreso as we roll along.)

Buy it, download it, and install it. You can do this yourself, or you can ask a technical friend. (Or us!) Once you’re running, you’re off to the races.

If you are at all interested in what we’re up to here, we’d recommend buying now. Our Launch Special with free lifetime updates and optional free hosting forever will most certainly expire very soon.
