Cardhop also features action buttons throughout the app for calling, messaging, videoing, and emailing contacts. Search ‘Email Tim’ and Cardhop will only present the email address for Tim Cook and not all the other information in the contact. The natural language parser also lets you easily search contacts and even launch actions. This makes sense since a name looks like a name, an address looks like an address, and a phone number looks different than an email address, but the same single text entry in the built-in Contacts app creates a new contact with the first name ‘Tim Cook 1 Apple Park, Cupertino, CA 95014 80 birthday ’ and no other details.Įasy contact creation is only the start of what Cardhop offers. For example, you can type (or copy and paste) ‘Tim Cook 1 Apple Park, Cupertino, CA 95014 80 birthday ’ and Cardhop will create the new entry with the correct fields populated. Just like Fantastical, Cardhop intelligently parses natural text to create new entries and launch actions. You just don’t notice because something magnitudes better hasn’t existed. Even as a basic database, Apple’s Contacts app can feel clunky and not well considered. I treat it like a database that’s primarily used to populate contact information in Mail, Messages, FaceTime, and Calendar. Personally, I don’t launch Apple’s Contacts app very often. That’s partly because Apple’s Contacts app hasn’t changed in several versions aside from gaining a rich leather address book theme then shedding the leather in favor of its current stark design.
Cardhop is a super smart contacts app that makes the built-in Contacts app feel like it was made 20 years ago.
