DreamConnect Features

Staying Connected

DreamConnect offers unique features and a combination of functions that helps manage your contacts quicker and with less effort. DreamConnect's features include:

English and German Support New!

The one installation package supports both English and German. Both languages use messages familiar from the standard applications, and support the standard shortcut keys. (Help is only available in English.)

Contacts Database Integration

Shares the standard Contacts database so that new contacts are immediately accessible, without having to manually import or export them.

Fast Performance

DreamConnect accomplishes most actions faster than the standard Contacts application.

Formatted Contact Card

Clearly displays contact details in the format of a business card. Stores multiple home or work addresses for each contact.

Categories

Arrange contacts into different groups by assigning categories such as Personal or Work to the contact. View only those in the relevant category (or all, if you wish).

Multiple Categories Per Contact

Assign more than one category to a contact, just like the real world. New categories can be easily created and edited.

Attach and Detach Categories from Multiple Contacts

Categories can be attached and detached from multiple contacts with a single command. All currently visible contacts are affected, so the results of an Advanced or Simple Find command can be used to select the contacts, and then a category attached or detached with a single command.

Smart Find

Use multiple "search rules" to find the contacts that you are after. With the ability to match against any contact detail (or even groups of details), match text exactly or find details containing text, and combine as many of these rules together using logical "and" and "or" operators, and then perform the search in the background, you will never lose a contact. And with two interfaces — a friendly dialog, or a powerful text syntax — anyone can benefit.

Quick Jump

Easy and fast navigation that will instantly jump to the contact that matches the characters you type. Meaningful feedback that will only allow you to type in characters that match a contact in your list.

Zoom

Choose your preferred size to view your contacts. There are 15 different zoom levels for you to choose from — any combination of five levels for the contact card, three for the contacts list.

Edit

Additional work or home details can be effortlessly added to the same contact. Information can be manipulated in a block or as individual fields.

Copy + Paste Contact Details

Your contact details can be copied and pasted into Word, maintaining the formating and icons. Useful for printing and copying contact details into documents.

Simple Find

Instant, simple searches on contacts. Clearly displays the current search. Remembers and displays up to 8 previous searches.

Quick Jump + Find

Powerful function to perform effective searches, first by narrowing down the list using Find, then selecting the desired contact using Quick Jump.

Sort

Information can be quickly reorganised according to the preferred way you want to view your contacts details.

Sort + Quick Jump

Sort contacts according to your viewing preference and then locate contact information instantaneously with Quick Jump.

Visual Feedback

Clearly displays current settings, including current category, search, and sort order and number of contacts, so you always know what to expect.

Performance Option

DreamConnect offers an optional performance setting that allows you to decide between boosted performance or minimised memory.

Configurable Quick Jump

The Quick Jump behavior can be disabled for those who prefer the standard Contacts application style.

Import/Export vCard files

You can import or export contacts in vCard format. DreamConnect's import/export functionality supports all details, including multiple address details (unlike competing applications), as well as categories.

Quick Access to DreamConnect

Easy access to DreamConnect simply by tapping the Contacts key, once it is running.

Shortcut Keys

One touch operation via shortcut keys: Esc to cancel search texts, Ctrl+D to delete a contact and Ctrl+N to create a new contact. All operations are available via the keyboard.
