The problem, as people describe it

A solo freelancer or small business owner needs a simple desktop application to manage customers, offers, and invoices after losing access to Microsoft Access. They require local data storage, basic password protection, and XML/CSV export for portability, without the complexity or web dependency of typical SaaS CRMs. Existing tools are either too feature‑heavy or require internet connectivity, leaving a gap for a lightweight, offline‑first CRM.
