The VCF Contacts plugin enables you to manage and organize contact information directly within your vault, using structured vCard (VCF) fields. You can import or export .vcf
files, add avatars, and maintain detailed records for each contact-like phone numbers, emails, birthdays, addresses, and social profiles. Each contact is stored as a markdown file, making it easy to link notes and use existing Obsidian workflows. Features like click-to-call, quick copy, and avatar processing add convenience, while Quick Switcher support ensures fast navigation. Ideal for users who want to integrate personal or professional networks into their knowledge management system.
Happy with a big release that now can support both mobile (android) and desktop. Includes some great new features and enhancements!

- #23: Introduction of the Insights structure and views that will allow for extending logic to optimize contacts that are in your obsidian vault. any insight processor can be disable, configured via the settings
- #23: UID processor will generate unique contact identifiers if they are missing on the contact.
- #11 When a Brand new user opens the contacts sidebar he/she is now instructed on what to do. We also added a button that the user can click to create and configure the default Contacts folder without the need to go into the settings page.
- #27 A demo, testing vcf dataset is now available in the git repository thanks to @rohankishore.
