Dm Address Book

Dm Address Book is a tool you can use to keep an address book with multiple contacts stored on your computer for safekeeping. It's wrapped in a highly intuitive interface and contains approachable options for inexperienced users, including a search function.

No installation required

The program's packed in an executable file that can be saved in a custom directory on the disk or a USB flash drive, in order to directly launch the tool on any computer without any prerequisites. It doesn't make changes to the Windows registry. However, it stores configuration settings in an XML file auto-created in the same location as the .exe (the contacts are stored in xCard format).

Populate the address book with contacts

The main application window invites you to add new contacts to the address book by specifying the person's name, home information (landline and phone number, address, city, province, country, zip code, email address, website), and work-related details (company, title, phone number, extension, fax, address, city, province, country, zip code, email address, website).
It's necessary to fill in at least the name to save the contact. You can create as many contacts as you want, edit properties later, delete entries, undo actions, as well as search for contacts by name. There are no other notable options available here. Just remember to save settings on exit, because you're not prompted for this action.

Evaluation and observations

Unsurprisingly, it consumed low system resources and didn't hang, crash or show errors throughout our evaluation. On the other hand, Dm Address Book comes loaded with a rudimentary set of features. For instance, it doesn't give you the possibility to filter contacts or to create customized profiles.

Conclusion

Although it doesn't integrate richer options and customization preferences, Dm Address Book offers a simple solution for creating basic address books.
