Better contacts organization

Business Contact Book is a well-organized and easy to navigate app with extended functionality to manage your personal and business contacts. Thanks to its intuitive interface and complete feature set, Business Contact Book is the best software to manage your existing contacts and make new ones. BCB is optimized for large databases. For faster performance, Business Contact Book uses SQLite. With BCB you can store and manage large contact lists.

Managing contacts

Business Contact Book comes with powerful organizing features. The core functionality of the app is the ability to add contacts into two linked categories "People" and "Companies" that makes it easy to add, manage, sort and find contact details.

"People" and "Companies" are stored separately in two lists, making your contacts much easier to browse. You can easily locate personal and business contacts by switching between "People" and "Companies" list.

For more visualization, you can add photos to any contact.



You can add more contacts by creating new ones or you can import your existing contacts from Mac Contacts.

With the BCB contact organizer, you can keep all sorts of information about people and companies, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, websites, social contacts, departments, and more. You can email or visit a contact's website directly from Business Contact Book.

Business Contact Book lets you save company structure details by adding departments with the corresponding information.



Looking for a quick way to manage information for companies, departments and employees? If people work in the same company (optionally, department), you may add a company or department only once and then simply select them. So, the company and department information is shared by many personal contacts.

Import information from Mac Contacts

Merge duplicate contacts: while importing, if you have duplicated contacts in the Mac Contacts app or any contacts you import are duplicates of existing ones in Business Contact Book, you can easily resolve duplicates.

Quick search

You can create various filters to display contacts that match certain conditions. With the Quick Search option, you can easily search contacts in the "People" and "Companies" lists and even in the Trash.

You can search either in all columns or in a certain column of the selected list. Just enter a word or a phrase in the Search field and press Return.

You can search using the following criteria - contains, begins with, ends with, like, matches, ignore case, match case or you can search using wildcard patterns.

Advanced search

Find exactly what you want with the intelligent multi-conditional search. You can search your contacts, including contacts in the Trash, by any field or any combination of fields using different criteria. The Advanced Search option is available as a Premium Feature.



The Advanced Search allows you to search for any information from job titles, departments and companies to location, phone numbers and email addresses. For example, you can quickly find the people who work for a certain company or the people who live in your city and whose phone numbers begin with "212". You can also find contacts by parts of contact details.

Sorting and displaying contacts

Business Contact Book comes with advanced sorting features. You can sort your contacts according to various criteria. While the column's header you click first has the main sorting priority, all other columns are also used for deeper sorting but with lower priorities. E.g. if you click the 'First Name' header, all contacts will be sorted by 'First Name' and contacts with the same 'First Name' will be additionally sorted by 'Last Name'. Just click the column's header to get your contacts sorted. Click twice to change the order.
You can also change the column width to automatically fit the contents (AutoFit).

Printing contacts

BCB makes it easy to print contacts from the People list and Companies list. You can choose if you want to print information in a table view or as a card. Using the Print option you can save reports as PDFs. The Print Reports option is available as a Premium Feature.



Business Contact Book provides various printing settings, which make it incredibly easy to customize and optimize the information you want to print and help you take more control over the printing process and achieve the best results.

Various printing settings help you specify the information (what fields) you want to include into your printout. You can add any fields you need, organize them in the necessary order, specify paper size, orientation, margins and font size for the table.



You can select the grid style and shading for reports in the table format. If you have a contact report with many rows and columns, it can be difficult to read. To make reading data easier, you can change the look of a report by adding gridlines and shading alternating rows. You can combine the gridlines and shading options or use them separately. For example, you can select to display gridlines only or you can add horizontal lines between rows and shade every other row in your printout. For some reports you may have a need to insert the vertical lines between columns only.

Preventing accidental data loss

Trash option (Premium Feature).
Accidentally deleted important contacts? Thanks to the BCB Trash, you can easily restore them. When you delete contacts in Business Contact Book, they are moved to the app's Trash. Deleted contacts will be there until you delete them from the Trash or empty the Trash, so you can restore them with one click.

Backup Service (Premium Service).
We understand how important is to prevent accidental data loss. To protect your contacts from system or power failure or to transfer your contacts to another computer, you can create copies of all BCB contacts, including photos and contacts in the Trash.

The Backup Service includes the Auto-Backup and Save database option (manual backup). When the Backup Service enabled, each time you quit the app, shut down/restart your Mac when the app is running and before importing new contacts, Business Contact Book automatically creates backups of your contact database, including photos. So, you can easily load the necessary backup using the Load database option.
With the Save Database option, you may create manual backups that can be easily loaded on any computer where BCB is installed.

Use BCB as an Address Book app

While being a powerful contact management app, BCB can be used as an ordinary address book. It can store comprehensive contact information such as addresses (including country, street address, city, state, zip), phone numbers, emails, etc. in two separated lists for personal and business information with the possibility to link the records (individuals, departments, companies, organizations, etc). This extremely powerful and handy feature makes BCB a number one choice for maintaining your contacts.

Unlike many other address book apps, BCB lets you choose the fields you would like to print. You can print your address book records as personal or business cards or lists as well as save contact information into a pdf file. And, of course, you can configure page setup before printing.



If you haven't decided how to organize your contacts, BCB provides you with a simple and easy to use solution for storing your contact information with the ability to extend your experience with advanced options available in the app.

Business Contact Book is ideal contact management software for business professionals who need a simple solution to manage their contacts. In addition to the address book, BCB includes a number of useful features such as linking of personal contacts and companies, advanced search that helps you quickly find exactly what you want with the intelligent multi-conditional search, set filters, customize printing reports and more.

Business Contact Book is available for Mac computers.

Note: Minimum version requirements for importing information from Mac Contacts is OS X 10.11.
