Address-O-Matic is a utility that allows you to share Address Books on Macs connected to the same local area network.

It makes use of Mac OS X’s Bonjour service to publish contacts from one Mac designated as the server and to allow client Macs to subscribe to those contacts.

An icon in the menubar anchors the utility’s drop-down menu:

You can determine which contacts or groups to share over the network. The Preference pane contains further options, including the ability to set a port for the service which your firewall will not block:

Other options for sharing your Address Book over networks exist. Check out Address-o-sync and Whereabouts.

Address-O-Matic is shareware (USD 20) and is available from the developer’s web site.address book, contacts, sharing, network, LAN, Bonjour, helpful apps
