What is Contacts?

What can you do with it?

  • Shared address booksShare an address book with colleagues, so everyone works with the same contact details.
  • GroupsOrganise contacts into groups and email or invite an entire group at once.
  • SynchronisationWorks with iPhone, Android, Thunderbird and Outlook via the open CardDAV protocol.
  • ImportingImport contacts from Google, Outlook or your phone via a vCard file.
