Pea Contacts: an encrypted address book for the web
Keep the people you call in up to five address books, encrypted on your device before anything syncs. The Chrome extension makes phone numbers on any page clickable, so you can copy, call, text or save a number without retyping it.
Free with a Pea account. Extension in testing

Numbers on any page, saved in two clicks
The extension is built for people who spend the day in a browser and a phone at the same time, including VoIP and softphone users.
Click a number on any page
Phone numbers are found as pages load. Click one for a small menu to copy it, call or text it with your default app, or save it.
Save it to a book
Add a name and pick a book. You can also highlight a block of text, like an email signature, and save it as a contact in one go.
Recognize it next time
Numbers you’ve saved show the contact’s name and book right on the page, and a number marked Do Not Call asks you to confirm before it dials.
Copy from the toolbar
Press Alt+Shift+C to open Contacts, search your books and click a contact to copy their main number.
An address book that keeps up with work
Contacts stores cards in the vCard format, so an export is exactly what we keep and any address book can read it.
- Up to five books, each with its own name, icon, color and encryption key
- Do Not Call flags that warn before you call or copy a number
- Import vCards from Google Contacts, Outlook or iCloud, and export to vCard or CSV
- Photos, favorites and categories, all encrypted like the rest of the card
- 30 days of history on every contact, in case an edit goes wrong
- Sync across computers by signing in and entering your passphrase
Two secrets, two jobs
Your Pea password proves who you are, and our server checks it. Your vault passphrase decrypts your contacts and never leaves your device. A recovery code is the backup if the passphrase is forgotten. Contacts uses Argon2id to turn the passphrase into a key and AES-256-GCM for every record.
Contacts hasn’t had an independent security audit yet. We’ll say so on this page when it has.
| Our server knows | Our server can’t see |
|---|---|
| Your Pea account email | Names, numbers, emails and addresses |
| How many contacts each book holds | Notes, tags, photos and book names |
| When contacts change, and from which kind of device | Which contact is which |
| A rough size bucket for each contact | Your vault passphrase or recovery code |
Contacts FAQ
Is Pea Contacts free?
Yes. Contacts is included with a free Pea account.
What happens if I forget my vault passphrase?
Use your recovery code. It lets you set a new passphrase, and then it issues a new recovery code to replace the old one. Without the passphrase or the recovery code nobody can decrypt your contacts, including us, so keep the code somewhere offline.
Can I bring my contacts from Google, Outlook or my iPhone?
Yes. Export a vCard (.vcf) file from Google Contacts, Outlook or iCloud and import it into any of your books. You can export back to vCard or CSV at any time.
When will the Chrome extension be available?
The extension is being tested now and will be listed on the Chrome Web Store soon. This page will link to it as soon as it’s live. The web app at app.pea.dev/contacts works today.
Can I use Contacts on more than one computer?
Yes. Sign in to Pea on the other computer and enter your vault passphrase. Your books sync in encrypted form.
Start your encrypted address book
Open Contacts, set a vault passphrase and save your recovery code. Your first book is ready as soon as you do.
