Starrise Contacts keeps your contacts on your device
Private by Design

Starrise works directly with the contacts already on your Mac. No account, no sign-up, and your contacts never leave your device.

Map of contact addresses on the Mac
Every Address on One Map

See where your contacts live on an interactive map, and switch to Creation Location (Pro) to see where you first met them.

Quick Actions

Message, call, FaceTime or email right from a contact’s profile, or open WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and more. Choose your favorite actions in Settings → Quick Actions.

MADE FOR MACOS

Everything you expect from a Mac app…

Keyboard Shortcuts

Every main action has a shortcut: ⌘N for a new contact, ⌥⌘N for a new note, ⌘1–⌘5 to switch sections. Settings → Shortcuts lists them all.

Multiple Windows

Open contacts and notes in their own windows and keep several side by side while you work.

Full Contact Editor

Edit every field, from phone numbers and addresses to social profiles and custom labels, and choose which account and lists a new contact joins.

Tag Contacts in Notes

Type @ in a note to mention someone. The note appears on their profile automatically, and clicking the name opens it.

Drag & Drop vCards

Drop a .vcf file onto the window to import contacts, and export your whole address book or a backup of your app data.

Right-Click Everything

Favorite, copy, share, edit or delete from any contact’s context menu, just like in Finder or Mail.

Back & Forward

Clicked through ten contacts? Retrace your steps with ⌘[ and ⌘], the way you would in a browser.

Spotlight Search

Your contacts and notes show up in macOS Spotlight, and a click opens them right in the app.

Share Anywhere

Send contacts, notes and files through AirDrop, Messages, Mail and the rest of the macOS share menu.

Moments Widget

Keep upcoming birthdays and plans in view with the Moments widget in Notification Center and on your desktop.

Light, Dark & Liquid Glass

Pick your theme color, follow the system appearance, and enjoy the Liquid Glass design on macOS 26 Tahoe.

Moments from Notes

Your notes recognize upcoming moments like birthdays, meetups and plans you’ve written about a contact. When the day arrives, your Mac and iPhone remind you with a gentle notification, so you reach out at exactly the right moment.

Creation Location

See on the map where you met each person, with the date and the place, recorded when you add someone on your iPhone and shown on your Mac too. Handy after a conference or a trip.

AI Notes Summary

Catch up on any relationship in seconds. AI Note Summary turns your long CRM notes into clear, concise summaries — highlighting what matters most about each contact. It keeps the context, removes the noise, and makes every conversation easier to pick up.

iCloud Sync

Write a note on your iPhone after a meeting and it’s waiting on your Mac when you sit down. Notes, gift ideas, Moments, files and Keep in Touch reminders sync through your own private iCloud account.

Restore Deleted Contacts

Deleted someone by mistake? Contacts go to the Trash first, with their photo, notes, gift ideas and files, so you can bring them back with one click from Settings → Trash.

Keep in Touch Reminders

Decide how often you want to catch up with someone: every week, every month, twice a year, or any rhythm you like. Starrise counts from the last time you were in touch and reminds you when it’s time.
