Exporter for Contacts lets you export Address Book contacts to CSV, XLSX Spreadsheet for Excel and Numbers, Outlook OLM and various other formats, capable of organizing export setups into reusable templates to make repeated exports much easier. Compared to similar apps, Exporter for Contacts offers the highest level of flexibility for exporting contact data from iCloud and other sources while remaining easy to use. # Main Features Exporter for Contacts has many features that make the app stand out from the crowd. You can create as many export setups as you want for recurring exports. Each setup automatically remembers which contacts and contact fields you have selected. You can select whole address book accounts, groups and also individual contacts together for export in one go. In addition to the handy Simple Field Chooser, you can also specify in more detail what should be exported and in which order for formats like XLSX Spreadsheet for Excel and Numbers, CSV and XML using the Custom Export Layout Editor. The app can also format phone numbers in a uniform way during export. # Export Formats Exporter for Contacts can do more than a simple converter that just write all contacts with all fields into a big CSV file at the push of a button (although you can also use it this way). Besides special formats like Google Contacts and Outlook for Windows CSV, it also directly supports the Outlook for Mac OLM format with all the trimmings. Of course, the app can also generate CSV and Excel files, and you can specify in detail which fields to export and in what order. When exporting as a CSV or Excel Spreadsheet file, the app even supports address book fields that do not exist in the Contacts app. For example, it can export street name and house number separately. It can also combine data neatly. If a contact has multiple email addresses or phone numbers, they can be easily exported as a list into a single table cell. # Privacy Exporter for Contacts doesn't collect any data. All contact conversion takes place locally on your Mac. # Pricing A full-fledged app like this that does not charge for updates and that does not display ads has (and has to have) it’s price. In a free basic mode, Exporter for Contacts can create custom vCards (these are vCards where you decide which fields are exported). This allows you to download the app for free and play with it to get a feel if it could be of use to you. All other export formats than “Custom vCard” can be activated by an affordable one-time purchase. This in-app purchase supports Family Sharing and can be shared by everyone in a family group. # Not ready for macOS 12 Monterey?

Great app and a helpful developer!
I was having some trouble exporting my data because we had created custom labels that were not on the list to export. After emailing the developer, he helped guide me through the process of exporting everything, even custom labels that our company created. Everything exported, and now I will work on cleaning up the data. Very happy with Stefan and his quick response!
Very useful
Version 2 rocks
missing some data
Not all cards are exported. This is true for both versions 1 & 2. I am using contacts version 2536.
Version 2, I'm with you
I've been using version 1 for years, but didn't upgrade until late because it was serving my needs. But now I'm on Apple siicon and want to express my appreciation for Stefan's dedication to this great tool!
Does not work for custom fields
Personally I was not happy with the app. I've got custom fields in Apple Contacts and it will not let me export those fields into a CSV file.
Great Program for Missing Feature in MacOS and iOS
I expecially like the custom export layouts that are saved so you don't have to set up your export each time. I my case each year I need to import my Christmas list receipients into Minted and this program completely automates that process.
Saves a lot of time
Just bought the app and am very happy with the outocome. I'm using it to manage personal contacts but it would do just as well for business use. Very much so appreciated the way it allowed me to download and try before buying to be sure I was getting something that would work.
Exporting to a volume other than the startup volume now works correctly.
