A week or so ago I wrote about what I now consider to be the absolutely best Apple Address Book alternative I have ever seen and used. Put simply, it kicks butt. In fact it’s the coolest address book app I’ve tried on Mac and Windows and Linux (although that’s not to say I’ve tried them all).
Cobook 1.0 – An intelligent address book. Cobook allows you to manage your contacts with joy: It always knows what you mean: just type in an email, phone number.
- Please remove an OAB Virtual Directory on CAS server using the Remove-OABVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Create a new OAB Virtual Directory on CAS server using the New-OABVirtualDirectory cmdlet. After that, please delete the Default Offline Address List, then create a new default OAL with different name and attached it to the mailbox stores.
- An online address book brings all your contacts together in one place. They are not lost even if you are unfortunate to lose your phone or your computer. Create an overview of your network, and manage your contacts safely and easily with an address book at one.com.
- Cobook is a simple address book app for Mac that has an intuitive interface, integrates with your social networks, and syncs with mobile devices and Apple Address Book. Cobook was created by Latvian software engineer Kaspars Dancis.
This truly amazing little app—although BIG on features—is called Cobook. What’s even more amazing is this kick-arse application is free. Since installing it I’ve ceased using Apple Address Book completely. I’ve not opened it even once, and I look up contacts multiple times a day. Now that I have Cobook I can see there is absolutely no hope for Apple Address Book ever making a return to my desktop. Of course, it sits there working away in the technological background as a database that syncs with Cobook, but it for sure no longer see the light of day.
A beta release (version 1.1-beta8 [1222]) of Cobook came out since I wrote my original review, and the developer(s) have improved even more on what was already an excellent feature set. Taking a look at the What’s New page on the developer’s site will give a good overview of all the many features and enhancements going into this application. Right now the What’s New page is not up-to-date (last updated on May 18th, as I write this on August 10th) but it’s still worth checking out.
If I sound strangely excited about Cobook, please forgive me. I’ve been disappointed by Apple Address Book since I first laid eyes on it, and with OS X Lion I thought it got even worse in terms of looks, and no better in terms of features. I’ve looked at every Address Book alternative worth considering, and none of them seemed like a viable replacement to Address Book. Cobook has, thankfully, changed that. Unless Apple buy Cobook and merge it into OS X, I think I can safely say I’ll never use “Apple Address Book” on my Mac again.
As for Mountain Lion compatibility, according to the official statement from the developer, Cobook is 100% compatible with Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8).
You can get Cobook here on the App Store. Or register for the beta versions here and get the latest features. I am using the beta (1.1.x) and have had no issues with the it so far.
