May 28, 2020 The app also lets you merge and backup contacts, and background contact sync keeps images tied to your contacts' profile pictures from social media. Really, though, this is the app to get. Create groups automatically. Create a Smart Group by identifying something that some of your contacts have in common. For example, you could create a Smart Group called “Book Club” that includes any contact with “book” in the Note field of their card.

Contacts sorely needs a 'merge duplicates' UI so that you can walk one by one and choose to merge or skip. Didn't iSync do that a long time ago?
This is also the way you 'link' contacts on CardDAV servers (which is how Facebook integration works)

'Linking' sounds like a good idea - how does it work? Can I 'Link' a card on CalDav-server-1 with a card on CalDav-server-2 and then make a change on one card that will happen to both cards on the two servers?
Exactly!
I see no way to merge contacts other than using the ultimate, find duplicates. There is no selection anywhere in my contacts app that will merge 2 cards, selected or not.

In Mac OS X 10.6.8 under the Address Book.app 'Card' menu item, the third selection is 'Merge Selected Cards', with a keyboard shortcut of shift-command-| (which is above the ' key on NAmerican keyboards)
The first time I tried 'Merge Duplicates', the menu entry changed to 'Link Selected Entries', with the same keyboard shortcut. It has yet to change back to 'Merge Selected Duplicates'. And it didn't merge them, either! This app is so totally FUBAR'd!

I expect the difference lies in the servers that the contacts live on. You should not be able to merge contacts that live on two different servers (iCloud and Google, for instance). They can only be linked. You should be able to merge two contacts that live on the same server.
