*** Contact Clearout was a MacWorld App of the Week ***
Removing duplicate contacts should be easy and safe. Over time your Mac Contact List just accumulates rubble and junk. Or a slew of duplicate contacts can appear overnight. The first thing is to remove the identical duplicates, that’s the easy part. A good duplicate app should do much more.
Recurring Duplicate Contacts
Suddenly your Mac Contact List is growing in size with duplicate contacts – maybe multiple duplicates. You clear them out and they come straight back.
Hidden Duplicate Contacts
After you have cleared out the normal ‘identical’ duplicate contacts, there will still be hidden duplicates. These hidden duplicate contacts are the ones more likely to cause problems.
Data Formatting and Corruption
As well as duplicate contact problems there can be mistakes or corruptions in the individual entries.

Group Matrix
Contact Clearout gives you a visual overview of group memberships. By sorting on groups you can get a picture of group membership patterns. A single click will move a contact in or out of a group.
Health Check for your contacts
Clearing all this up properly involves more than just the traditional duplicate search.
Recovering deleted contacts
Over the years we’ve seen lots of e-mails from people wanting to recover contacts they have accidentally deleted. All the Clearout apps will keep archive copies of any deleted contacts so you can always recover any lost information – just because mistakes can always happen!
The Best Mac OS X Duplicate Contact Manager
We think our Clearout family of apps are the best for Mac OS X Address Book management. All our apps are designed to deal with all these issues. Duplicate contact searching goes beyond finding identical duplicate contacts and will suggest similar contacts for you to review and merge. Nothing is deleted without you having the chance to see where things are going wrong. Everything can be undone and all deleted contacts are held in an archive so you can restore them. Years of experience with Mac Contact list management software has gone into these apps.
The two Clearout apps also let you scan through your contacts by just rolling the mouse over the list. This is the fastest way to look at your contacts. Your eyes are the best tools for finding out of date or mangled entries.
These are the main common features of these apps. (See the products page for a comparison matrix.)
