Contacts

One calm desk for people, dates, notes, and follow-through.

Expert contact support

Contact Management AI

Contacts Desk keeps this page grounded in visible signal: who matters, what tone fits, what can be merged safely, and which next move is actually worth sending.

Open the room when you want a human brief, an honest limit, or a real next touchpoint.

Profiles

One contact card, all key details

Store phone, email, address, relationship, household, work details, tags, and the notes you actually need later.

Follow-up

Never lose the next touchpoint

Track birthdays, important dates, last contact, and next follow-up so the page helps you stay present instead of reactive.

Import

Pull in Apple, CSV, vCard, or JSON files

Bring outside lists into one place, keep them separated when you want, and merge duplicate people without rebuilding cards by hand.

Privacy

Protect individual people when needed

Use Settings for workspace-level privacy defaults, then mark specific people private when their reminders or notes should stay out of shared planning context.

Apple handoff playbook

Bring contacts in or move them back out cleanly

Mac: open Contacts, choose the list you want, then use File > Export > Export vCard.
iPhone or iPad: export from iCloud Contacts on the web, or share individual vCards from Contacts when you only need a few people.
Drop `.vcf`, `.csv`, or Aeliana `.json` here and this page will keep the import in the current list unless you move it.
Use Download vCard for Apple to move the current visible contacts back to iPhone, iPad, or Mac Contacts without a custom conversion step.
When multiple lists overlap, the importer auto-merges exact phone or e-mail matches first, then sends anything fuzzy to Duplicate Review.

10-app benchmark

Top 5 next-wave gaps after this ship

Reviewed against Apple Contacts, Google Contacts, Outlook, Contacts+, Covve, Cardhop, BusyContacts, HubSpot, Clay, and Cloze. This pass closes import, list separation, seeded examples, and duplicate review. These are the biggest gaps still left.

Direct account sync for Apple, Google, and Outlook sources instead of file-import-only flow.
Field-level merge compare with confidence scoring, undo, and bulk review for fuzzy duplicates.
Business card scan plus contact enrichment so new people land with richer details faster.
Real activity timeline with last-touch history across calls, e-mail, notes, and follow-ups.
Bulk edit, archive, restore, and cleanup actions for larger lists.

Swarm verdict

Winning direction: calm operations desk

Planner: prioritize list clarity, import confidence, and next-action visibility over decorative CRM chrome.
Designer: keep the cinematic Aeliana look, but use stronger grouping so the page scans in one pass on desktop and mobile.
Adversary: remove dead-end copy, make duplicate review visible, and never hide critical actions behind guessy language.
Builder: ship the import, list, and merge tools now; leave contact enrichment and card scanning for a later pass.

Import, clean up, and move data out

Clean the list first, then move the exact set you want back into Apple, Outlook, or another desk.

One tap can import device contacts on supported phones. File import supports Aeliana JSON, CSV, and vCard so Google, Apple, Outlook, and most address books can move in cleanly, and Apple-friendly vCard export moves the current visible list back out.
