The intelligence and consideration of Fantastical applied to contacts and communication is essential for anyone who relies on relationships for work.Д¬ardhop for Mac is available starting today on the Mac App Store or from /cardhop. Cardhop will parse the printed information and instantly. A flexible app from Flexbits!Д¬ardhop is hands-down the best way to manage and interact with contacts on the Mac. Use your iPhone or iPad camera to quickly scan a business card or printed address from a document. You can also pull Cardhop out of the menu bar and just use it like a windowed app if you prefer. Cardhop lives in the menu bar (like how Fantastical started) as a lightweight, fluid app, and you can optionally show or hide the menu bar or Dock icon (which is a beautifully illustrated sandwich that looks like a contact card out of a rolodex). ThereвЂ™s also support for viewing multiple accounts and groups in an optional sidebar, and Cardhop features both a dark (default) and light theme. Cardhop also features action buttons throughout the app for calling, messaging, videoing, and emailing contacts. Search вЂEmail TimвЂ™ and Cardhop will only present the email address for Tim Cook and not all the other information in the contact. Cardhop also takes advantage of the underused 'note' feature available in the default Contacts app, making a notes section front and center for each contact in the app. 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 вЂTim Cook 1 Apple Park, Cupertino, CA 95014 80 birthday вЂ™ and no other details.Д®asy contact creation is only the start of what Cardhop offers. For example, you can type (or copy and paste) вЂTim Cook 1 Apple Park, Cupertino, CA 95014 80 birthday вЂ™ 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 donвЂ™t notice because something magnitudes better hasnвЂ™t existed. Even as a basic database, AppleвЂ™s Contacts app can feel clunky and not well considered. I treat it like a database thatвЂ™s primarily used to populate contact information in Mail, Messages, FaceTime, and Calendar. Personally, I donвЂ™t launch AppleвЂ™s Contacts app very often. ThatвЂ™s partly because AppleвЂ™s Contacts app hasnвЂ™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. Flexibits, the team behind the excellent calendar app Fantastical, is out with a brand new Mac app that turns your messy contacts database into something completely usable and interactive.
