Why it matters where your contacts live

When a personal CRM keeps your contacts and notes in its own account, they depend on that service. Starrise Contacts works on the address book on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, including iCloud, Google and Exchange contacts. Your contacts stay in your own accounts, and they are never sent to us.
