AGILEBITS CARDHOP FULL

I just fill out the rest of the meeting details in Fantastical and send it off.Īnd if there is a group of people I want to invite all at once, like say the other product managers on my team, I can type “invite product managers” and I’ll be sent over to Fantastical will all the people in my “Product Managers” group invited.

So for example, I can type, “invite raymond” and hit Enter on my keyboard to switch over to Fantastical with a new calendar event created and with Raymond added already as a guest.

From the text box in Cardhop, I can type “invite” and then give names or groups of people who I want to invite to a meeting.

From there I can either tap or click through the contact card to add fields, or I can just continue typing them into the text box and Cardhop will intelligently parse them into the right fields for me.įor example, I was able to paste the below information into the text field and Cardhop filled out the person’s name, full address, phone number, email, birthday, and website perfectly. I can type “Jane Doe” to bring up Jane Doe’s contact card, or if she is not in my contacts yet, it will immediately start creating a new contact for her. Simply type into the always-visible text box in the app to find someone, add a new contact, or even invite people to a meeting in Fantastical. So I was very pleased to see that this natural language input is built into the core of Cardhop as well. It feels like magic and is really powerful. It’s super simple to create an invite by just typing out something like “Sync up with John at Starbucks from 4-5pm” and have a one hour meeting set up at the right time, date, location, and with an invite sent to John. One of my favorite things about Fantastical is its natural language input for calendar events. To my surprise, there were indeed a few features that I found useful on a regular basis and has me running the app all day on my work computer.

I knew people spoke highly of the original version of the app, but again since I never cared much about this type of app, I didn’t use it myself and thought this was a good chance to see what all the hype was about. The Contacts app was a means to an end, so I never considered looking for something better what would someone like me even get out of a better Contacts app?īut when Flexibits announced that Cardhop 2 was coming out and it would be a part of the Flexibits subscription I was already subscribed to, I figured I didn’t have anything to lose by at least trying it out. I want their names, their emails, and their phone numbers so they auto-complete in iMessage or email apps. For me it’s just been a dumb list where I can put people in my life so that I can talk to them elsewhere. If I’m being honest, I’ve never been particularly excited about the Contacts app on any of my Apple devices.
