Switching from UpHabit
UpHabit has closed. Here's the alternative for your contacts.
UpHabit shut down on 9 April 2026 after more than eight years, and asked users to export their data. If you're looking for somewhere to put that export, the useful question isn't which app has the nicest reminders — it's which one keeps your contact list current without you maintaining it by hand.
Imports CSV and vCard on every plan, including free — duplicate merge and enrichment are on Premium
At a glance
UpHabit alternative: ContactsPlus imports your UpHabit CSV or vCard export and then keeps that list current automatically — syncing Google, iCloud and Outlook together, merging duplicates and filling in missing details.
- Imports CSV and vCard exports on every plan, including free
- Syncs Google, iCloud and Outlook together, so the list maintains itself
- Finds and merges the duplicates an import creates (Premium)
- Follow-up reminders, notes and tags on any contact
Before anything else
Get your data out first
The UpHabit apps still run, but they're no longer maintained. Whatever you decide to move to, export now rather than later.
1. Export from UpHabit
UpHabit directed users to export from Settings. Do this while the app still opens on your device.
2. Import the file
ContactsPlus accepts CSV and vCard on every plan, free included. Nothing is overwritten in your existing accounts by importing.
3. Clean up what the import created
An import almost always creates duplicates, because most of those people are already in your Google or iCloud account. Merge them in one pass.
What's different
A contact list that maintains itself
Most personal CRMs are an empty box you import into once and then keep by hand. That's the part that quietly stops happening — and it's the part ContactsPlus is built around.
It starts from the accounts you already use
Connect Google, iCloud and Microsoft/Outlook and your real address book is the list — in two-way sync, so a change on your phone shows up everywhere.
Duplicates get merged, not accumulated Premium
Duplicate detection works across accounts, which is where duplicates actually live. You review every field before anything merges.
Records fill themselves in Premium
Job titles, companies and photos are matched from public sources and kept current, so records don't quietly go stale.
Follow-ups live on the contact
Set a task with a due date and snooze on anyone, get a daily digest, and push it one-way to your Google, Outlook or Apple calendar.
Notes and tags, kept with the person
Dated notes and tags on every contact, on every plan — so context travels with the relationship.
Outreach from your own inbox
Email opens in your own mail app and calls go through your own number. One-to-one, not a marketing tool.
Worth knowing before you switch
One thing UpHabit did that we don't
UpHabit's signature feature was the recurring keep-in-touch reminder — a contact resurfacing on its own every few months, whether or not you'd set a task.
ContactsPlus doesn't currently do that. It has tasks and follow-up reminders you set on a contact, with due dates, snooze, a daily digest email and one-way calendar push — but not an automatic recurring cadence. If that specific behaviour is the whole reason you used UpHabit, you should weigh it before switching rather than find out afterwards.
What you get instead is the layer underneath it: a contact list that stays accurate on its own, across every account you own, so the people you're reminded about have current details when you reach them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What happened to UpHabit?
UpHabit closed on 9 April 2026 after more than eight years. Its mobile apps still run but are no longer maintained, and the company advised users to export their data from Settings. If you haven’t exported yet, do that first, before anything else changes.
Can I import my UpHabit export into ContactsPlus?
Yes, if you exported a CSV or vCard file — ContactsPlus imports both, on every plan including the free one. Import is also the point at which duplicates usually appear, because the same people often already exist in your Google or iCloud account, so it’s worth running duplicate detection straight after.
Does ContactsPlus have recurring keep-in-touch reminders like UpHabit?
Not in the same form, and it’s worth being straight about that. ContactsPlus has tasks and follow-up reminders you can set on any contact, with due dates, snooze, a daily digest email and one-way push to your Google, Outlook or Apple calendar. What it doesn’t currently offer is UpHabit’s recurring keep-in-touch cadence, where a contact resurfaces automatically every few months. If that specific behaviour is the only thing you want, weigh it before switching.
Why would I move to a contact manager instead of another personal CRM?
Because the reason a personal CRM goes stale is almost always the data underneath it, not the reminders on top. Most personal CRMs start as an empty box you import into once and then maintain by hand. ContactsPlus starts from the accounts you already use, keeps Google, iCloud and Outlook in sync, merges the duplicates and fills in missing details automatically — so the relationship features sit on a list that stays current on its own.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan connects one account and holds up to 1,000 contacts, with tasks and follow-up reminders, notes, tags and CSV/vCard import included. Premium adds up to five synced accounts, real-time sync, duplicate detection and merge, contact enrichment and business-card scanning. See pricing for the full comparison.
