Kin Contacts

Your address book, beautiful. A faster, warmer, more intuitive take on the Mac address book, working directly with the iCloud contacts you already have.

Everything in one card

View and edit every part of a contact: phones, emails, postal addresses, birthdays, websites, social profiles, related names, and photos. Changes sync through iCloud to all your devices.

Organize without friction

Drag contacts onto groups. Reorder groups by hand. Merge duplicates with a guided review. Undo anything with Command Z. And group changes stick: add someone to a group and they stay there, synced everywhere, reliably.

Capture contacts instantly

Paste a messy blob of text, an email signature or a text message, and Kin parses the name, company, phone, email, and address into a new card automatically.

Find anyone, fast

Just start typing. Search spans every field, ranks name matches first, and shows the top result as you type.

The details add up

A hundred small touches make the whole thing feel smoother: inline group naming, keyboard-first navigation, gentle color coding for every contact and group, a window that remembers exactly how you left it. Nothing to configure, nothing in your way.

Private by design

Kin talks only to your Mac's address book. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, ever. No accounts, no analytics, no network at all. Read the privacy policy.

A look around

Warm, quiet, and out of your way.

The Kin Contacts main window: groups listed on the left, contacts in the middle column, and a full contact card on the right showing phone, email, address, birthday, groups, and notes. — Groups on the left, your people in the middle, the whole card on the right. Every field editable in place.

The New Contact form in Kin Contacts, with a paste box at the top reading "Type or Paste Anything, I'll sort it out" and an Auto-fill button above the empty name, company, phone, email, and address fields. — Paste a messy blob of text, press Auto-fill, and Kin sorts it into the right fields.

The Review Duplicates dialog in Kin Contacts, showing two contact records that share the name James Whitaker side by side with their differing phone, email, and company details, and buttons to Keep Separate or Merge into one. — Two people can share a name. You decide, not the app.

Requirements

macOS 14 or later. Works with the contacts already on your Mac, including iCloud, Google, and Exchange accounts you have set up in System Settings.
