About Contact Groupist

Contact Groupist is a minimalist utility for creating and maintaining lists of contacts. The lists will appear in the iOS, macOS and iCloud Contacts apps.

Contact lists can be used (among other things) in conjunction with your iPhone's Do Not Disturb feature; see "Allow Calls From" in the Do Not Disturb section of the Settings app.

Contact Groupist is intended primarily for users whose default Contacts account is either local to their iOS device, or in iCloud. Not all Internet accounts support contact lists.

Apr 7, 2018

The help message now includes our support email address (and it's more helpful!). We've been seeing reports of crashes associated with contact searches, but we haven't been able to reproduce the problem yet. It's possible that the problem was fixed in v1.2, but in case it's not, v1.3 may help us pin it down. If you do experience a crash, we'd love to hear from you, in particular just what you were doing when the crash occurred. Please mention the version you're running. Sorry! And thanks!
