Social life? What exactly is that again?
We’ve sacrificed our own social lives in our quest to build the best address book alternative in the App Store, but we think your social life is about to get a lot easier to manage with everything we’ve accomplished recently.
The grind has been intense, but as the saying goes, “Nothing worthwhile comes easily.” We hope you’ll love the new features below as much as we do.

Dextr Pro Price Increase — November 15
Get it while it’s hot! We’ve done a lot of heavy lifting to make Dextr the best Contacts app alternative on the market, and we need to raise the price of a Pro subscription to support these new features.
As such, the price of new Dextr Pro subscriptions will increase to $24.99 USD/year on November 15, with prices in other countries increasing proportionally. Get a Pro subscription before the increase to lock in the current price of $14.99 per year! It will never be this cheap again. Don’t miss out!
Or upgrade in the app.
Dextr Web Launch (Beta)
Don’t have a Mac? Dextr is now available from your web browser!
If you are installing Dextr for the first time, set up the app on one of your Apple devices before accessing the web version. The web version is in beta, so there may still be a bug or two to squash. If you encounter any, please reach out to us at support@dextr.app.
Supercharge Dextr with ChatGPT and Claude
Put your relationship context to work with the new Dextr plugins for ChatGPT and Claude (through an MCP connection). Find contacts, import data, organize information, create custom fields, build sales funnels, and turn your address book into useful reports and spreadsheets.
AI Address Book Organization Ideas
The Dextr plugins for ChatGPT and Claude make managing relationships and organizing your address book as simple as a prompt. If you don’t have a Mac, you can use ChatGPT and Claude’s computer-use features with Dextr Web.
Here are some things we and our friends have done with AI:
- Add First Met dates recorded in Google Contacts.
- Add social media handles to Dextr contact profiles.
- Add contact photos to Dextr from Instagram and Facebook.
- Import contacts from documents, spreadsheets, and databases.
- Track who attended a wedding using photos of the seating chart in a Dextr Event.
- Add concert attendees from a Posh.vip account to a Dextr Event.
- Keep track of who attended an open house Event from a photo of a sign-in sheet.
- Summarize text conversations as Journal Entries.
- Add Tags to contacts who are in a running club.
- Send a thank-you Text Blast to people who attended a birthday party.
- Create and populate Custom Fields from an Excel spreadsheet.
AI and your data: We care about your privacy. Your Dextr data and contacts are never shared with us. However, if you connect ChatGPT or Claude, you will be granting those services access to your address book data. Please keep this in mind if you are using a company device, as sharing data with an AI service may violate your company’s policies.
If you use AI to make changes to Dextr, we recommend instructing it to keep existing information intact and to keep a record of the original and updated values in case you need to undo any changes.

Create & Search Custom Fields
Keep the details that matter to you and your contacts in reusable text, number, date, and yes/no fields, as well as drop-down selectors. Track anything from dietary restrictions, prescription allergies, and sibling order to project stages, then use one or more search filters to find the right people.
Learn how to use custom fields
Link People to Notes with "@Name"
Keep people connected to the story. In supported fields such as First Met, Journal Entries, and Event notes, type @ and start entering a name, then select the person. When you link a person to a note, the note is added as a Journal Entry in that contact’s profile.
Eliminate Copy/Paste — Request Contact Information Instead
Missing an email address, postal address, social media handle, birthday, or something else? Use Request Info to ask for updated details through iMessage. They fill in their information, and you save their reply without copying and pasting each answer by hand.

Home Screen Widgets for the Win!
Adding a Dextr Home Screen Widget to your iPhone does more than help you build a new habit of using Dextr instead of Apple Contacts for your daily contact management.
Dextr Widgets also enable the app to notice when you add a new contact through Apple Contacts or bump phones to exchange contacts. When Dextr notices a new contact in Apple Contacts, it sends a friendly notification reminding you to record how you met in Dextr.
