Private Contact

Private Contact is a handy app that helps you manage your contacts while keeping your info safe. Apple has its own contact manager, but let's be honest, it’s pretty basic and doesn’t let you lock it with a password. If you’re looking for something with more features, this is where Private Contact comes in.

Why Choose Private Contact?

The name says it all! This app is all about keeping your contact info private and organized. You start by setting up a password to secure your first database. The cool part? You can make multiple databases, each protected with different passwords!

Easy Setup and Security

Your data gets saved as encrypted documents, which means they are super secure! If you ever need to lock the document, just click a button and boom—your info is safe from prying eyes. Plus, it uses AES-256 encryption to keep everything locked tight.

Add Your Info

Once you’ve got everything set up, it’s time to add some details! You can input any information you want for each contact. And if you've got existing databases or text files, no worries—you can import them easily!

Organize Your Contacts

This app makes sorting through your contacts a breeze. Each entry can belong to a category that shows up next to the name, making everything easy to find at a glance. You can even sort your list by name or category!

Customization Options

Worried about fitting in specific types of data? No problem! All labels are customizable so you can make them fit your needs perfectly. Plus, there are buttons for entries that link directly to websites or email addresses.

Filtering Made Simple

The filtering feature works well too! It lets you search through entries using keywords wherever they show up in your contact sheets.

A Step Up from Apple Contacts

If you're looking for something better than the default Apple Contacts app, Private Contact is a solid choice. It offers way more features and keeps your data safe with encryption. Just one suggestion: adding options to filter by specific labels would really help when dealing with large databases!

You can find Private Contact among other great contact managers.
