Importing contacts into busycontacts11/13/2023 ![]() If the cards are from two different calendar servers then they both get all the same information and Bus圜ontacts merges the view so there is only one card shown. Select the contacts and the Merge and Link function will combine all information between the two cards. They are both working well but are usually out of sync with each other. I use iCloud and the new Fastmail cardDAV contact syncing. My absolutely favorite feature of Bus圜ontacts is the Merge and Link function. ![]() It’d be nice to have my mail history in the Bus圜ontacts sidebar too. It’s pretty standard but it’s a bummer for me as a MailMate user. Unfortunately, Bus圜ontacts only supports Mail.app. I like the “Journal” features which creates a calendar event in Bus圜al and drops me right into the notes field for that event. Selecting a contact, I can create an event or reminder. Integration between Bus圜ontacts and Bus圜al is well done. I like that I can reply right from Bus圜ontacts too. I didn’t test the Facebook or LinkedIn integration. The calendar information shows all past and future appointments, which is spectacular for reviewing projects. Click on a contact and in the side bar you can see your previous conversations or just what they’ve been tweeting. The first thing that caught my attention with Bus圜ontacts was the integration of messages, mail and Twitter history for contacts. Bus圜ontacts nails everything I use a contact manager for and adds some clever bonus features. I just want it to make my life easy and I want to spend as little effort and time as possible making it work. ![]() It’s not flashy but I don’t really want a flashy utilitarian tool.

The map app will highlight people and businesses in search on on the map. Phonetic spellings can also help Siri to recognize a spoken contact. Siri can recognized relationships if you have them defined. But, a well groomed address book is a powerful enabler. It’s not going to be enjoyable and the most you can hope for is to end up where you started. Much of the time, managing contacts in the address book makes me think of Sisyphus waking up every morning and thinking about his day. After using Bus圜ontacts on my Mac for the past 6 months, I can declare it’s the most I will ever enjoy managing contacts.
