Advice for a contact app (self.degoogle)

Google Contacts, like most of their products, keeps changing and getting worse. Somewhere along the way it deleted all of the street address information from my contacts!

Ideally looking for a tool that checks these boxes:

  • Open-source
  • Android, Web, and (if necessary) Linux and Windows clients
  • Stores contact info locally (i.e. self-hosted)
  • Stores contact info securely (encrypted)
  • Can store in a cloud location (e.g. Sync, Dropbox)

It seems like a tall order, but KeePass has managed to do that with their password vault, so why not contact info?

Any success stories out there?

Honestly, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I just use the AOSP contacts app on the phone and then export a CSV file and keep a copy of that in my database on KeyPass.
