The new version of Cardhop is available to download now for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Cardhop for iOS is available in exchange for four bucks in App Store. ![]() Cardhop for Mac is a 20 download from Mac App Store. Scanning a business card also gives an option to quickly follow up with an instant calendar meeting. As I wrote in my review of Cardop for Mac and Cardhop for iOS, if you tend to keep your contact database fresh by updating contacts on a more or less regular basis, you will instantly see great productivity value in Cardhop. A new “Invite with Fantastical” action makes it easy to invite contacts (or whole groups of contacts) to events. (Want a link to quickly FaceTime a friend? Now you can.)Īnd given that Cardhop and Fantastical are now bundled together, there are also some deeper ties with the Flexibits calendar app. The iOS version of Cardhop has a new business card scanning feature, which does exactly what it says on the can, and there are new widgets for both macOS and iOS that can be customized to add quick links to call, text, or interact with a contact using any of Cardhop’s actions. There’s a new Relationships mode, which can generate family trees for contacts that you’ve set relationships between or - if you have Google or Office 365 accounts linked - org charts. They just won’t get any major new features going forward.Ĭardhop 2.0 does add a variety of new features, though. Flexibits Premium will still cost $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year for an individual user, or $7.99 per month or $64.99 per year for up to five family members.Įxisting Cardhop owners will still be able to access any features that were already present in their existing apps from before the switch to the subscription model without having to pay (also similar to the Fantastical switch). However, similar to Fantastical, Flexibits will now be offering a more limited, free version of both of those applications to anyone, with more advanced functionality (including many of the new features being introduced with the new version of the app) locked to subscribers.įlexibits, crucially, isn’t changing the price of its subscription program to go with the newly added app. The original Mac and iOS versions of Cardhop previously cost $19.99 and $4.99, respectively. And that's what makes a great indie app truly great.Ĭardhop will eventually run you $19.99 but you can grab it on sale now for $14.99.IOS and Mac calendar app Fantastical is moving to a subscription model ![]() It's so powerful that, once you get used to it, you'll never want to go back to the built-in Contact app again. With Cardhop, you think about the person, hit the hotkey, start typing their name and how you want to contact them, and you're on your way. It's circuitous and leaves you open to multiple distraction and friction points. In traditional computer workflows, you think about a person, figure out how you want to contact them, open the app that will contact them in that way, then find their contact within that app. When you put it all together something profound happens. In addition to Call, you can also just type Copy, Directions, Email, FaceTime, FaceTime Audio, Large Type, Message, Skype, Telegram, Twitter, URL, and VoIP, and get access to all of those actions as well.Ĭopy is brilliant because it removes the tedium of extracting and sharing a contact out of a typical database page. If I type "Call Ser Cal" it'll place a phone call to Serenity using call relay or BT pairing, your choice. (I can even type "work" to specify the kind of email address I'm adding.) Same if I type a date for her birthday. ![]() If I type "Ser Cal I add that email address to her contact. If I type "Ser Cal", I get Serenity Caldwell.
