This application is, as its name suggests, a program designed to help you clean up your address book.
Before starting the scanning process, you can select the proper match conditions, such as Nick Name, Home Phone Number, Department, etc. Then the program starts looking for duplicates within the Address Book app and offers you a list with the results.
You can also narrow down the results by opting for additional search filters, such as City, Street Address, Match Whole Phone Number, and many others.
If the app finds any duplicated contacts, it displays all identical entries and lets you preview the information so that you know exactly which contacts need to be removed. An advantage of AddressBook Cleaner is that it allows you to back up all contacts before deleting the duplicates.
Briefly, this tool proves to be a reliable solution when it comes to finding and removing duplicated contacts from the Address Book app. The program gives you access to a wide range of search filters (last name, phone number, email, etc.), communicates well with Address Book tool, and comes with an intuitive interface.
