Name
Up to 200 characters. The list is sorted by it.
A personal address book
The people you deal with, in a list only you can open.
Piskes Contacts keeps a name, an email, a phone number, a company and a note against each person, and a search box that narrows the list as you type. It is small on purpose, and its limits are on this page.
Read this first: the list shows your first 100 contacts, sorted by name, and search looks only within those 100. Contacts after the hundredth are saved but not listed. There is no import yet either, so each person is typed in by hand. If your address book already runs to hundreds of people, this is not the tool for it yet.
A contact
Five fields, and a name is the only one you must fill in.
Nothing is verified, formatted or looked up. What you type is what is kept.
One address, kept as you typed it. It is not verified and nothing is sent to it.
Phone
One number, as free text, so a country code or an extension fits as written.
Company
Shown under the name in the list, next to the email, and searchable.
Notes
Up to 10,000 characters on the contact’s own page: how you met, what they asked for, what not to bring up.
Only yours
Each contact is tied to your signed-in account. Anyone else asking for it gets the same answer as for one that does not exist.
Finding someone
Type part of a name, an email or a company.
The list narrows with each keystroke. There is no search button and no wait, because the search runs over the list already on your screen — which is also why it only reaches the first 100.
Three fields searchedName, email and company, ignoring upper and lower case. Phone numbers and notes are not searched.
One page per personOpen a contact to edit every field and the notes, then press Save.
Deleted means deletedThere is no bin. A removed contact cannot be brought back from inside the app.
Honestly
Against the spreadsheet of names you already keep.
Some rows go the spreadsheet’s way. They are in the table anyway.
| A spreadsheet | Piskes Contacts | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding one person | Filter a column | Type in one box |
| A long note about someone | A cramped cell | A page of its own |
| Who else can open it | Whoever has the file | Nobody but you |
| More than 100 people | No practical limit | Only the first 100 are listed |
| Bringing your list across | It is already there | Typed in — no import yet |
| Several emails or numbers each | Add a column | One of each |
| Getting it back out | It is already a file | No export yet |
Questions
The ones worth asking before you type in a hundred names.
Is this the same as the contacts in Piskes CRM?
No. They are separate stores and nothing moves between them. CRM is for a team’s customers; this is one person’s address book.
Does Piskes Mail suggest these addresses when I write?
Not yet. The mailbox builds its own list of addresses from your mail, and it does not read this one.
Can I import from Google or Outlook, or export?
Not yet, in either direction. There is no CSV or vCard import and no export.
What happens after 100 contacts?
They are saved, but the list and the search stop at the first 100 by name. Nothing is deleted; the rest are simply not reachable from the list until it learns to page.
What does it cost?
Nothing is charged for it today. Piskes has no paid plans live yet, and nothing in Contacts checks a plan.
If I delete my Piskes account, are my contacts deleted with it?
Not by account deletion today — it does not reach this address book yet. Delete them yourself first; they are other people’s details, and that is reason enough.
Start with the ten people you ring most.
Sign in with your Piskes account and the list is there, empty. Add a name, fill in what you know, and let the search box do the finding.
