A new version of Monica is coming in 2026

It's been a while since we gave a proper update about Monica.

Alexis and I have been thinking about a new version for a very long time. Longer than we initially expected, obviously. Rebuilding an application from scratch while having full-time jobs, families and lives outside of Monica turns out to take a bit of time. Who knew?

But today, we can finally say this: we will launch the new version of Monica before the end of 2026.

This new version is the Monica we've wanted to build for years. It will be faster, more flexible, easier to use and built on a much stronger foundation.

Monica will still help you remember the people who matter to you. It will still be private. It will still be open source. And you will still be able to install it on your own server for free.

We're incredibly excited. Monica has been part of our lives for almost ten years now, and this feels like the beginning of a completely new chapter for the project.

There is a lot of work to do.

But it's coming. For real this time.

Thank you for your patience, your messages and your support over all these years. We can't wait to show you what we've built.
