Google Contacts, like most of their products, keeps changing and getting worse. Somewhere along the way it deleted all of the street address information from my contacts!
Ideally looking for a tool that checks these boxes:
- Open-source
- Android, Web, and (if necessary) Linux and Windows clients
- Stores contact info locally (i.e. self-hosted)
- Stores contact info securely (encrypted)
- Can store in a cloud location (e.g. Sync, Dropbox)
It seems like a tall order, but KeePass has managed to do that with their password vault, so why not contact info?
Any success stories out there?
You must log in or # to comment.
Nextcloud contacts gives you CardDav, so it works with Android, iOS, and any number of Linux/Windows/Mac clients. Thunderbird certainly, and many other desktop mail clients. (Don’t know about a Linux or Windows app limited to just contact management over CardDav, but it’s probably out there.)
