Hi Product Hunt! 👋 We launched Compact Contacts for Mac here in July. Today it's on iPhone and iPad too, as one universal app. Why we built it: Apple Contacts is fine for looking up one person, but painful when you need to clean up hundreds. Duplicates, missing phone numbers, old company names, notes you can't find. Many "contact cleaner" apps want an account or a sync service of their own. We didn't want that. Compact Contacts works directly on the contacts already on your device. No account, no cloud of our own, no subscription, no ads. iCloud, Google or Exchange sync stays with iOS and iPadOS. On iPhone and iPad you get: • Dense rows so you see more contacts at once • Search across every field, including notes • Step-by-step Bulk Edit with a preview of exactly what will change • Merge Studio: pick each field, preview the result, undo if needed • Smart Views like Missing Phone, Missing Company, Recently Edited One purchase covers both iPhone and iPad. The Mac app has the full table workspace. I'd love your feedback, especially on what's still annoying about managing contacts on iPhone and iPad.
