Start an export with a single tap, making repeated exports effortless. - Export in Excel format or CSV with customizable settings (in-app purchase required). - Export phone numbers in multiple formats such as Automatic, National, International, and E.164. - Compatible with any iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 or newer, in both landscape and portrait. ### EXPORTS VIA SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND AUTOMATIONS - Start an export with Siri, without opening the app. - Run an existing export setup as a shortcut. - Or set the format and field selection directly in the Shortcuts app. - Have exports run at a set time through an automation, weekly as a vCard backup for instance. - Chain the export with other actions, to file or send the finished document. - Check the app's log to see which automated runs took place. ### INTEGRATED FREE CONTACT BACKUP - Export to vCards for quick and efficient backups of your contact list. Email the vCard to yourself or save it to Apple’s Files app. - Unlike other apps, it retains contact pictures and notes when exporting to vCards. - Easy restore: Import the saved *.vcf file directly into Apple’s Contacts app without needing a separate app. ### ADVANTAGES - Fully integrated with iOS features like Apple’s Files app and direct exports to apps like Numbers and Excel. - Robust and efficient, capable of handling thousands of contacts with excellent memory management. - Benefit from 20 years of development experience in Apple address book programming for Mac and iOS. ### PRIVACY-FIRST APPROACH The app values your privacy, performing all exports locally on your device without requiring login to any service.
