Apple's Contacts app does the job: It syncs with iCloud, it's free, and most people never think twice about it. But if you manage a meaningful number of professional relationships and want more than a glorified phone book, BusyContacts from BusyMac is a serious upgrade. In this show, Lee takes a comprehensive look at what makes BusyContacts stand out, covering everything from setup and account management through to the features that turn it into a lightweight CRM you can use day to day.

You also learn how Tags and Smart Filters let you segment your contacts, how the Activity List surfaces emails, calendar events, and social media feeds alongside every contact card, as well as the tight integration with BusyCal, which connects your contacts directly to your meetings, tasks, and journal entries. There is a lot to learn about BusyContacts, and Lee has got you covered.

As of this recording BusyContacts runs on macOS 12.0 Monterey or later.

BusyContacts is a great new contacts management application that integrates with most of the popular online address book systems.

With customisable views, rich support for customisation plus integration with Mail, Messaging and Social Media, BusyContacts is well placed to be a flexible and easy to use CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) suitable for both business and personal use.

The Contacts application (or Address Book as previous known) is fairly basic in OS X, with limited functionality and integration. BusyMac have tackled these limitations with the release of BusyContacts, a great new contacts management application that is able to replace Contacts, as well as integrate with most of the popular online address book systems.
