Tidybook builds one canonical address book from whatever sources you have. You can start importing immediately, with no account required.

​
From your phone

On iPhone and Android, Tidybook can read your device address book directly (after you grant permission) and import every contact — names, organizations, phones, emails, addresses, websites, birthdays and notes — into your canonical book. Nothing is uploaded by importing: the contacts go into Tidybook’s own local book on the device. Only if you later turn on Sync does an encrypted copy leave your phone.

​
From vCard / CSV files

You can also import from files:
  • vCard (.vcf) — the standard contact format exported by most phones, email clients and address books.
  • CSV — common spreadsheet exports.
This is the easiest way to pull in contacts from a source Tidybook doesn’t connect to directly.

​
High fidelity — nothing dropped

Tidybook imports into a rich model that keeps far more than name-and-number. When a source carries a field Tidybook doesn’t map, it keeps the original alongside rather than discarding it, so a later export gives everything back intact. See Cleanup, editing & your card for the full field list.

​
Try before you sign up

Import, deduplicate and edit all work without an account. If you later sign in, the book you’ve already built is adopted into your account — your pre-account work is never thrown away.
Importing the same source again is safe: Tidybook folds new and changed contacts in and surfaces any new duplicates in the review queue rather than creating a second copy of everyone.
