ContactForge v4.1.0
π ContactForge v4.0.1: The Complete CRM & Write-Back Sync Release
We are thrilled to announce ContactForge v4.0.1 β our biggest and most feature-rich update yet!
(Note: v4.0.1 contains a critical hotfix for upgrading users that resolves crash loops and "no such column: name_key" sync errors from the v4.0.0 release).
π₯ What's New in v4.0.0 & v4.0.1?
π 2-Way Native OS Write-Back Sync
ContactForge is no longer an isolated island. With the new Write Back to Phone feature in the Mission Control Dashboard, you can push your perfectly cleaned, merged, and enhanced Contact-Forge library directly back to your iOS or Android native address book. Clean up duplicates here, and let the changes reflect everywhere!
π Full CRM Contact Editing
You no longer need to jump to your phone's native address book to fix typos. We've added a dedicated Edit Contact screen. Tap the Pencil Icon in the top right of any Contact's Detail page to dynamically edit their name, company, job title, notes, and tags.
𫨠Shake-to-Undo Global Gesture
Accidentally merged the wrong contacts? Accidentally deleted someone? Just physically shake your phone! We've integrated hardware accelerometer sensors to trigger a premium global Undo action, complete with haptic feedback.
π€ Single Contact VCF Sharing
While bulk export is great for backups, sometimes you just need to share a single person's info. We've added a Share Contact Card button in the Contact Details screen. Tap it to instantly generate a .vcf file and pop up the native iOS/Android share sheet.
π¬ Cinematic UI & FlashList Virtualization
We've completely overhauled the list rendering engines using Shopify's FlashList, guaranteeing buttery-smooth 60fps scrolling even with 2,000+ contacts. Plus, we've injected react-native-reanimated physics, giving lists a beautiful cascading fade-in effect. Dark mode colors have also been tweaked for optimal WCAG accessibility and premium aesthetics.
π οΈ Previous Highlights (v3.3)
- SQLite FTS5 Indexed Search: Microsecond filtering across tens of thousands of contacts.
- Zero-Loss Tombstone Sync Architecture: Safe deletions and flawless sync propagation.
