PhonixJ

The world isn’t getting bigger, but there’s certainly more individuals in it. This means there’s a high chance you know quite a bunch of people, both personally and professionally. As such, it’s a good idea to keep all of your contacts in order, and apart from your mobile phone, it can also be done through computer applications like PhonixJ.

On the bright side of things, you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make the application work, and it’s good to go from the moment it reaches your computer. You can have it stored on a thumb drive as a personal contact manager, which you can use on almost any computer. Note that Java Runtime Environment needs to be on the target computer.

The application might not really make a proper first impression, but this doesn’t mean the visual design isn’t intuitive. On the contrary, the simplicity of it all, and the cleverly-designed buttons make accommodation a walk in the park for individuals of all levels of experience. You start off in an empty canvas, which you get to fill with all your contacts.

Creating a new entry isn’t really difficult. A new window shows up, with several fields you need to fill in, not all of them being mandatory, though. You can add a name, multiple phone numbers, addresses, place, ZIP code, one or more email addresses, website, and country.

The database contains a search tool with which to easily identify items of interest. Details can be edited at any given moment, and you can also print them on a sheet of paper. Moreover, contacts can be imported and exported as VCF.

All things considered, we can state that PhonixJ is a reliable application which can help you keep all of your contacts in order. It doesn’t really offer an abundance of options, but given fields mostly cover anything you need, while file support contributes to flexibility.
