Personally, I would love to see the addition of more CRM-focused information that could sync to my iOS devices. If you do a lot with contacts at your Mac, it is well worth the cost of admission, which is reduced to $14.99 for launch.
Slack and Skype are already islands all their own. Mail pulls from my contacts database as well as their own internal history, and Messages works in a similar fashion. While I do keep a fairly robust contacts database, I almost always start a new conversation with someone within the app I’m going to use for that interaction. It builds upon natural language input in a new way that I find clever. The input field can turn “email Jason Snell” into a draft to the man with a spider in his iMac. The app can also serve as a launchpad for contacting someone. The natural language input field at the top of the menu bar app can handle search, creating contacts, editing record information and more. It boasts the same easy-to-use, text-driven intelligence that its calendar-based sibling does. Flexibits, the makers of Fantastical, have a new Mac app out for dealing with contacts.
