Cardhop relies on exactly the same system-level contact database that Contacts and Bus圜ontacts use, but how you add, edit, and use contacts is rather different.įirst off, Cardhop is an attractive menu-bar app with light and dark modes. It’s all stuff that any database can do, but until Cardhop, interacting with a contact manager wasn’t much different than using FileMaker. Create a record, edit fields, perform searches, etc. Part of the problem with contact management is that it’s basically database work. BusyMac did a good job at creating a better monolithic contacts app with Bus圜ontacts back several years ago (see “ Bus圜ontacts Turbo Charges Mac Contact Management,” 17 March 2015), but Flexibits, makers of Fantastical, have now introduced a completely different take on contact management: Cardhop. It’s just a bad app, with terrible use of space and a clumsy, modal user experience.
