Tapdex: one tap access to Address Book contacts

tapdexTapdex is a preference pane that enables you to access your Address Book contacts with a user-defined hot key.

Hit your hot key and Tapdex’s search window pops up. Type in the name and the search results narrow in real time until you are presented with the contact you are looking for:

tapdex_pane

Does this screen remind you of anything? That was my first thought too — BuddyPop.

Tapdex is a “Lite” implementation of BuddyPop. It does not have the rich feature list of BuddyPop (support for Skype, X-Lite and Vonage, Bluetooth SMS, etc) but it is free.

With Tapdex you can launch an email in Mail.app by clicking on the contact’s email address, get a phone number in large type or map an address, which might be all you want to do.

Tapdex is freeware (although there is a USD 5 “Pro” version that removed a small advertisement) and is available from the developer’s web site.
