Description

WhoDo does one thing and one thing only!
It creates new contacts in the Contact app by extracting data from text you have selected.
You don't even need to launch WhoDo.

You don't need to launch an application to use WhoDo!
Just select the desired text in any Mac application then use the 'Services' context menu!
If the Services menu is inconvenient, you can also 'Copy' and then switch to WhoDo.
Whenever you open WhoDo it immediately assesses the current clipboard for contact data.
If you keep WhoDo running every time you bring it to the foreground it will automatically process the current Clipboard.

WhoDo has a very minimal user interface - it has a single purpose and is designed to be the least possible interruption in your workflow.
WhoDo uses Apple's data detectors and natural language processing.

Download WhoDo for free and then create 3 free contacts to verify WhoDo's functionality.

After the free trial contacts have been created you must make an in-app purchase:
2 weeks usage - 99¢
1 year usage - $3.99
Permanent license - $7.99
WhoDo does NOT use subscriptions!
You can purchase either of the short term usages as many times as you need.

WhoDo can:
• assign the new contact to a specific Account (e.g. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, ...)
• assign the new contact to a Group (if Groups are supported in the Account)
• create either a Person or an Organization
• assign unlabelled values with either Work or Home labels
• automatically capitalize names of all types
• automatically supply the area code for casual phone numbers
• populate the new contact's ‘Note’ with text of your choosing; you can also add the date & time of creation as well as the full text of source data.
• provides the contact in an editable Contact view for your final approval before you Save
• each time you open WhoDo it can provide the contents of the clipboard for use a new contact
so you can 'Copy' and then open WhoDo if that is more convenient than using 'Share'
• extract multiple contacts from Numbers - best if you include the header row
you can elect to process multiple contacts individually or in one bulk action.

WhoDo works with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later

Seems interesting, but unable to purchase

Cannot purchase this item. it looks as if it could be very helpful, but pointless if the inapp purchase doesn't seem to work

Developer Response ,

Hello There;

Better late than never I guess... I just didn't understand my ability to respond to these reviews until today!

Version 2.0.2 is current version and does fix quite a number of issues since you posted.
Please contact developer@swampdog.info for more information and a promotional code to try and rectify the bad experience.

Works better than standard contact grab 3.5 stars for now

Works better than standard "smart" contact grab that functions in Mail and other areas.

It misses fewer fields. It is not entirely intuitive and does occasionaly drop fields or miss items that show-up and/or are edited in the "editable preview" section.

It may be that I am still a newbie with it.

Also, a bit slow sometimes.

It is very close to 4 stars.

I did not have the issue to purchase as another reviewer had.
