Connect a service of your choice: FullEnrich, Apollo, Enrich, People Data Labs, or Reverse Contact. Bring your own API key, then tap Update Profile on a contact to look for their current job title, company, work email, phone number, website, and LinkedIn profile. You approve every change, field by field. It stays off until you set it up, and only the contact's name, company, and any work email or profile link are sent - straight to the service you picked. Remember people who passed away Some people stay part of your life even after they're gone. A contact's Details tab now has a quiet »Keep in memory« button. Their portrait appears muted everywhere in the app, their page shows their life dates, and their birthday stays on the calendar as a calm remembrance instead of a countdown.

Share yourself just as easily. »My Card« gives you a personal QR business card for instant sharing, with its own Home Screen widget so it's always one tap away.
