Fantastical 2.4.4 and cardhop12/30/2023 And maybe the best contact app is the one that gets out of the way. It lets you browse your contacts, do something and move on with your work in no time.

So everything you edit in Cardhop is going to instantly sync with your iPhone and other devices. When you edit information in Cardhop, the app uses the same database. So if you’ve already added an iCloud or Exchange account to the Contacts app, you’ll find the exact same contacts in Cardhop. For instance, if you type “Sherlock Holmes work phone 55 birthday 9/30,” it’ll create a new entry or add new information to an existing entry with everything in the correct field.Ĭardhop doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and relies on the existing syncing services of the default Contacts app. You can just dump a bunch of information and Cardhop will figure out what to do with it. Similarly, adding new information is probably my favorite feature. You can customize the shortcuts for each contact. ![]() After pressing enter, I can initiate a call on my iPhone via Bluetooth or on my Mac using the FaceTime app and Wi-Fi calls.Ĭardhop also supports iMessage, Skype, Telegram, FaceTime, FaceTime Audio, email, etc. For instance, if I write “call Jordan,” Cardhop knows I want to call TechCrunch’s Jordan Crook because she’s my favorite Jordan in my address book. You can also type an action followed by a name. But the search field has a few hidden tricks up its sleeve. Of course, you can type a first name or last name and see the contact entry. You can also scroll through all your contacts, but there’s no need to do it if you can just search. By default, Cardhop also presents today’s birthdays and your most recent contacts. When you open the app, you’re ready to start typing. The first thing you’re going to notice is that the main way to interact with Cardhop is the search field.
