The user can edit the fields by pressing the edit button below the bottom-left of the third pane. Many of the fields can have duplicate entries, for example, if the person the card describes has several email addresses. The card can include information, some of which the user can classify into customizable categories like Home and Work. The third pane has the card corresponding to the selected name. It lists the names of the people with cards in that group, or all the names if the selected group is All, in alphabetical order by first or last name, depending on user preference. When selecting All or a user-made group, the second column has the title Name. Users can add new groups by pulling the File menu down to New Group, or typing Command-Shift-N. This pane lists All, Directories, and each user-made group. In releases prior to Lion, in View Card and Column, the Contacts window is divided into three panes.

In 2013 iOS Contacts switched to the new UI along with the whole of iOS 7, while with OS X Mavericks the skeumorphic design was removed leaving a basic UI. The following year, both versions of Contacts switched with their parent operating systems to a more flat design style, a change attributed to Forstall's departure from Apple in the autumn of 2012. In 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion it returned to a three-pane design and changed names to match iOS. OS X Lion (2011) featured a redesigned Address Book application in the style of the iPad Contacts app, also in a two-pane design. In 2010, the iPad with iOS 3.2 introduced a new two-pane contacts app, featuring the skeuomorphic design style popular with Apple around this time under the leadership of Scott Forstall. The iPhone also included contacts storage from its release, which starting from iPhone OS 2 (2008) was also broken out into a standalone application.
CONTACT ADDRESS BOOK SOFTWARE FOR MAC OS X
Address Book was rewritten for Mac OS X Jaguar (2002) and as of 2020 has remained in roughly the same form ever since. An application known as Address Book was included with Mac OS X from its release in 2001 and in preceding beta versions.
