Contacts

Usage instructions for Contacts

Contacts helps you manage people, businesses, restaurants, and grocery stores for your Household.

Address Books

Contacts > Address Books organize your Contacts. Each account and household has a default Address Book, and additional Address Books can be added. For Household Address Books, you can grant access to specific members of your household.

Contacts

Contacts are how you store details for people, businesses, Restaurants for Cook, Stores for Shop, and more. Contacts live within an Address Book, where they can be shared with others who have access to the Address Book. Contacts can store many details about the person or place, and can also define settings for integrations like the default Budget > Category or the travel time for Cook > Meal Plans.

Export Address Books

Homechart can export your address books for use with other contact applications via VCF/vCard Feed and CardDAV.
