# Cachet Contacts: the AI contacts manager for the address book you already have

Cachet Contacts, of the Cachet family, is a contacts MANAGER for Apple and Google address
books. It captures anything with contact details (a business card photo, a screenshot, a
pasted email signature) via LLM parse with per-field confidence and an editable confirm
card; runs a whole-book photo and logo upgrade through a human review grid (faces never
auto-applied); reviews duplicates with per-field merge, free; and reconciles iCloud and
Google with append-only two-way sync. Every bulk write is previewed as a per-record diff,
snapshotted first, and undoable as a batch; a field the user set is never overwritten.
Contacts live in the user's own system address book; full .vcf export is
free forever. AVAILABILITY: the web app ships capture and export today; native Mac and
iPhone apps (whole-book upgrade, dedupe review, two-way sync) are next in the queue; no App
Store install yet. This file never claims a shipping feature that is not shipping.

## Pricing
- Free, not a trial: duplicate review, groups, birthdays, search, full .vcf export.
- Pro: one payment of $49.99 ($34.99 at launch), first 1,000 pictures included (capture at
  volume, whole-book upgrade, two-way sync, multiple accounts). Picture packs $29.99 per
  1,000 ($19.99 at launch); company logos never metered.
- Web-app capture is bring-your-own AI key; native apps meter managed keys per picture under Pro.
