If I want to then I can easily tap on the person in the relationship view to create their contact card - which I often do as soon as I know their birthday! I really love now that I can document relationships between people and not have to put a person in my contacts just to know that Anna is Shawn’s wife. Cardhop 2.0 has a relationship view, this works with details you add yourself such as family information, but also integrates with Office or Exchange-so you can see an organizational hierarchy. The built-in Contacts app has the ability to let me specify relationships like “this person is my mother,” but this is just shown in text on my contact card. The one feature I really love though is the relationships. This has become even more powerful with version 2 because it also works with Fantastical when you use the Invite keyword. The “magic bar” as I call it, is not just for finding contacts, but also for creating them, updating, and interacting with them. It’s how I use Drafts, and how I’d prefer most of my applications to work. You can scroll through your contacts, but the open and type approach is what drew me to the app in the first place. But under the hood, there are some impressive changes that make the app even much more useful, whilst still keeping it simple and easy to use.Ĭardhop is simple – you just open it and start typing in the magic bar. At first glance, not a lot has changed (which is actually good because it means I don’t need to significantly change my workflows). Today Cardhop 2.0 is out, and while it looks a bit different. This is something I often need to do because if I don’t have an email address for someone there’s no point trying to write them an email, and if the place is closed there’s no point trying to call them! Adding and updating contacts requires lots of clicks or taps, and it never felt like a good place to start trying to contact someone. There’s nothing wrong with the native contacts app on iOS or macOS per se, it’s just not that great. Cardhop has been my preferred contacts app since it came out.
