Contact Management

leave a comment »

If you have a need for a Contact Management System that is “stand-alone”, you may like this system.

Open Contacts

Open Contacts is free and you can use it to share contacts with your email programs.  Be sure to read about all the “Essential Features”.

It has many information fields and you can organize contacts by category to make them easier to find.
