Compact Contacts is a fast, focused way to work with the contacts already on your Mac. Scan a dense, resizable table instead of opening one card at a time. Search locally across names, organizations, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, and groups. Choose the columns and row density you need, then save filters, sorting, and layout as a reusable Saved View—including the view shown when the app opens. Built for the Mac: • Native, resizable three-pane interface for keyboard and mouse • Fast, locale-aware search and sortable contact columns • Configurable columns, row density, Favorites, and Recents • Safe contact creation and editing with validation, explicit account selection, and external-change conflict checks • Native Contacts groups and Saved Views with multiple ALL/ANY conditions and saved layout preferences • Previewed Bulk Edit for organization, department, and job title, with clear eligible and skipped-contact summaries • Field-level copy and handoff actions for email, phone, Messages, FaceTime, Maps, and websites • User-initiated vCard import and export • On-demand duplicate review, with narrowly constrained removal of confirmed same-account exact copies • Optional Sample Contacts workspace with fictional, temporary, on-device data • English and Turkish localization Your Mac's system Contacts database remains the source of truth. macOS manages synchronization for iCloud, Google, Exchange, CardDAV, and other configured accounts. Compact Contacts does not create a new account or contact cloud, contains no ads or third-party analytics, and does not upload contact content to a developer server. Some edits depend on the permissions and capabilities of the account that owns a contact. Potential duplicate scanning is read-only. A separate confirmed action can remove only exact visible copies in one writable account after backup requirements pass; it never merges fields, links cards, moves accounts, or runs automatically. Use Apple Contacts for changes outside that narrow boundary.

Last update:
Version 1.1 makes larger contact cleanups more deliberate: • Preview Bulk Edit changes to organization, department, or job title before anything is applied, with clear explanations for contacts that will be skipped. • Build more useful Saved Views by combining multiple conditions with ALL or ANY matching, then preserve the columns, sorting, density, and inspector layout you prefer. • Remove confirmed same-account exact copies only after choosing the record to keep and completing the required recovery steps. Compact Contacts never merges fields, moves records between accounts, or cleans up in the background. • Clearer recovery guidance, accessibility improvements, localization refinements, and stability fixes.
