BusyContacts Not Showing Google Contacts: A Personal Contact Manager Solution

As someone who values appearance and functionality, you're likely frustrated when your contact manager doesn't meet your needs. BusyContacts is a popular option that integrates with Apple Contacts, but what about its limitations? Specifically, the lack of integration with Google contacts has been a major obstacle for many users.

In this article, we'll explore alternative solutions that go beyond what's offered by the standard Mac Contacts app, without being full-blown CRM systems like Salesforce. Our goal is to find a personal contact manager that allows you to keep track of your relationships, remember important conversations, and group people by interests.

One such option is Cardhop by Flexibits, which uses appearance and native language as its primary selling points. While it's an attractive alternative, it may not offer significantly more features than the standard app unless you're missing something (as I suspect).

For a more comprehensive solution, consider BusyContacts' competitor, . This personal contact manager integrates with email & message threads, multiple Contact Lists (iCloud/Google), and offers automatic bidirectional sync with iCloud. It's like 'Contacts on steroids' rather than a 'Dumbed down Salesforce.'

What are your must-have features in a personal contact manager? For me, it's the ability to deep link to tags so I can quickly access related contacts, as well as tag people by role, current status, need to follow up, attendance at meetings, and more. With these features, I can efficiently manage my contacts and stay organized.

As you look for a personal contact manager that meets your needs, consider the following:

1. Tagging system: Can you easily add custom tags to your contacts and search for related individuals?

2. Deep linking: Can you quickly access specific contacts or groups by clicking on a tag or keyword?

3. Multiple Contact Lists integration: Does the app integrate with multiple contact lists, including iCloud and Google Contacts?

4. Automatic sync: Is the app able to automatically sync your contacts across devices and platforms?

If you're looking for a more robust solution that goes beyond what's offered by BusyContacts, Cardhop, or other alternatives, consider exploring options like . With its comprehensive feature set and seamless integration with multiple contact lists, it could be the perfect personal contact manager for you.
