#GETTING STARTED WITH BUSYCONTACTS CRACKED#

It’s worth every cent though in my mind, no question.īusyMac has conquered the Calendar and Contacts market for OS X.

Currently $49.99 on it’s own, although if you are a Bus圜al customer you can get it for $29.99 (both together for $79.98 but I’m sure you can do that math).

It oozes both care and class with every feature you see and after the critical success of Bus圜al, BusyMac have another winner with Bus圜ontacts. Bus圜ontacts is a lesson for all developers who feel the need to get their product out of the door as quickly as possible. Simply choose location, frequency and number of backups to keep and you are off and running.įor those looking to collaborate with these address books, Bus圜ontacts also allows you to share address books with read/write privileges or read-only through Exchange and other CardDAV servers.īus圜ontacts has been in development for a long time, with the public beta announced last summer. The option is also there for you to create up to ten custom columns which again, lends itself very nicely to being integrated as a CRM application.īacking up the database is automatic and configurable via the preference pane. The level to which you can customise the columns and fields that are being presented is really quite impressive.

You can, of course, add more accounts via the Accounts section in the Preferences pane. If you have Contacts configured to sync there, they will appear as an option by default in Bus圜ontacts. These lists are populated automatically based on the current configuration in System Preferences -> Internet Accounts. All available contact lists are on the left-hand side. It’s got to be easy on the eye to make people want to dive into it and they’ve achieved that. BusyMac have stuck with a format that works. When you open the application for the first time, users of Bus圜al will be very familiar with the interface. Clicking on a contact produced an activity field filled with their latest tweets. Adding my Twitter account was an easy experience and watching all of my contacts fill up there, with phone number fields filled in was great to see.

Social Network Integration – Your favourite social networking sites are able to be integrated with Bus圜ontacts.

Moving users from one account to another was as seamless as two mouse clicks (even better with a nice new Keyboard Maestro macro as well!) I have contacts in iCloud, Google, and Office 365 and haven’t encountered a single synchronisation problem during my trial.

Syncing – Bus圜ontacts syncs with iCloud, Google, Exchange, Office 365 as well as other CardDAV servers without issue.

It’s treading very much into CRM (Customer Relationship Management) territory and this could be very attractive for small businesses and freelancers out there. This helps to elevate Bus圜ontacts beyond a mere contacts application.

Bus圜al Integration – Linked heavily with the Activity List, this is how the calendar events of that list are populated.

In List View, the pane moves to the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Calendar information, recent emails and messages are all available to be seen and you can filter these to your liking. In Card View, the right-hand pane will show all activity with this contact.

Activity List – I’m so impressed with this part.

You can colour, group and filter contacts with the use of tags, splitting them into family, work, company groups etc.

Tags – Some people love tags, others cannot abide them.

You can filter contacts, create saved searches and save your own customisable views.

Smart Filters – I love Smart Mailboxes in the native Mail client which means I adore Smart Filters in Bus圜ontacts.

So what have they been able to feature in this release that sets it above the competition?
