Minimalistic but full-featured addressbook in your web browser.
adx is a standalone and portable web app (online and offline).

FEATURES
Contact Management, portable, small (~350KB), lightweight, contact tagging, geo mapping, web accounts, trigger phone/Skype calls, etc.

EXPORT FUNCTIONALITY
vCard (as file or QR code via offline generator)

HOW IT WORKS
Your address-book (XML file) is transformed in your web browser (via XSLT) to a full-featured web application (HTML).

REQUIREMENTS
Web browser for viewing adx; online hosting or local storage is possible (for local storage most modern browsers need to be configured to allow access to local files); NO server, plugin or anything else needed. Any text editor can be used for contact editing (addressbook.xml).

Features

  • Full-featured web application for contact management
  • Based on Plain Old XML (POX)
  • Small (~350 KByte) and lightweight
  • Very fast loading time (due to small size)
  • Online and offline usage: can be (self)hosted on any webserver or local/network folder
  • Portable (e.g. USB flash drive)
  • Full privacy (everything is self-contained, no phone-home, etc). Own your data!
  • no dependencies but a web browser (viewing) and text editor (editing)
  • Geo mapping (by address, longitude/latitude or what3words)
  • Unicode support (UTF-8)
  • Support for web accounts
  • Tagging of contacts
  • Search for contacts
  • Browser quick search possible (Search from browser URL bar in contacts)
  • Export contacts as vCard (via file download or QR code)
  • Offline QR code generator
  • Birthday/anniversary reminder
  • Also suited as small office/home office (SOHO) contact manager
  • Cross-OS support (incl. Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, ...)
  • Cross-browser support, incl. Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Safari, Edge and other Chromium-based
  • Optimized for Desktop Screens (but still usable on smaller screens like mobile phones)
  • Configurable (XML)
  • Customizable (XSLT)
  • Supports Computer accessibility (a11y)
  • Microformats support (hCard 1.0, XFN)
  • Embeddable in web sites
  • Remote dialing on your Android with GSConnect
  • Very easy to deploy (1 XML and 1 XSLT file)
  • Important: Focus of adx is contact viewing in browser. Contact editing can be done with any text editor in file addressbook.xml

User Reviews

  • Beautiful! The Power of XML!
  • This a great project! It is exactly the kind of address book I was looking for: simple but with all features, light and can be used offline. It would be even better if someone could build a simple front-end to introduce or manage contacts. It's a pity the workaround needed to work in Chrome, but I believe there is nothing one could do about that.
