TapDex gives you a quick and simple search interface to your Mac OS X's Address Book. Tap the hot key and up pops a search window, start typing to narrow down your search.

TapDex is small, fast and takes up very little resources. It is designed to run in the background (yes, it can run without a Dock icon) and activated with a hot key. Customize it to auto-launch on log in and all your Address Book contacts will always be one tap away!
What's New

Fantastic app. Use it several times every day. Much more convenient than clumsy Address Book, especially the crippled Lion version.

Great app. Just one regret: the lack of an "add new contact" button.

BTW, may be this could be implemented with code from the ContactCreator.service

Excellent app.

Just a couple of suggestion:

1. Note field multi line with text wrap
2. Applescript basic support (just to use phone numbers with dial applications, etc.)

I guess I don't really understand this app either. Doesn't the Address Book Dashboard widget do the same thing? Using a hotkey? Just as fast? It does for me.

What am I missing? I'm serious here... how long does it take to open Address Book? One second? How much time can this app save? Admittedly, I have not used the app, but that's because I see no advantage over just opening Address Book. Fill me in.

Well... just try it. And get used to it, then come back to and make a comment. ;-)

Yes, it SEEMS like TapDex wouldn't be any quicker than "just opening the address book." But if you have lots of apps in your dock, as I do, four or five seconds of scrolling and hunting for Address Book is a minor irritant. I love just hitting F1 instead.

I didn't expect it to be that much help, but now it's a must-have.

And kudos to Yellow Mug for a very tasteful interface, with customizable colors for individuals and companies - and even for the background and type color when "large type" is invoked.

This freebie is designed with more care than a lot of applications out there!

I'm a software developer.
I love this app, because this is "how any application should be".
Clean, fast, intelligent.
Bravo!

This is one indispensable app for me. I use it every day. The hot key activation makes all my addresses available instantly. I only have to open Address Book to add or edit.
