Contacts!

I'm very proud to present the first release of Contacts - An evolution-data-server using address book, designed for use on hand-held devices (like the Nokia 770), but also quite useful on the desktop. Although it uses evolution-data-server, there are some incompatabilities with addresses in Evolution (as I try to conform to vCard specification and Evolution handles addresses very oddly). Hopefully you'll enjoy the superior type and category handling though :)

Some screens:
Contacts main screen

Contacts editing screen

Contacts 'add field' dialogue

If you want to check it out from subversion, you can do so with the following line:
svn co http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/contacts/trunk contacts

Or you can grab the release tarball.

  • That's great. Please keep up the development on this. I've been wanting a standalone EDS contact manager for a long time now. I use OS/X's Address Book, and it drives me nuts that there isn't something comparable on Gnome.

  • Great application! Keep up the good work! Since I don't use evolution for email, this is a great option to manage my contacts and keep them in sync with gaim etc.

  • Contacts is a pretty common name for an address book, I don't think it's too big a deal.
