Share Daylite Contacts With Other Contact Applications

You can access your Daylite contacts in any app that supports CardDAV by using the correct server settings for your Daylite account.

Create App Specific Username and Password

When you share your Daylite contacts, you create a unique app-specific username and password. This allows you to securely connect your Daylite contacts to other applications, like Apple Contacts, without using your main account credentials.

1. Log into Account Manager
2. Select Integrations
3. Click + New App Login
4. Enter the name of the app or person you’re sharing with, then click Generate

Once completed, Daylite will generate a unique username, password, and provide you with a server address. Use these to add your Daylite contacts to a CardDAV-compatible contacts application.

Each time you share your contacts, a new set of credentials is generated. These credentials are specific to your device and application, meaning they won’t affect your main Daylite login. If you need to remove access or update your setup, you can manage these credentials from your Account Manager.

Add Your Contacts to Apple Contacts on the Mac

1. Open Contacts and click Contacts > Add Account
2. Choose Other Contacts Account... and click Continue
3. Change the Account Type to Manual
4. Copy/Paste the app-specific Username and Password in the correct fields
5. Click Sign In

Once you've entered your app-specific username, password, and server details, your Daylite contacts will be added to Apple Contacts. Your contact list will now sync automatically, keeping your address book up to date across your devices and apps.

Add Your Contacts to Apple Contacts on iOS and iPadOS

1. Open Settings > App > Contacts
2. Tap Contact Accounts > Add Account
3. Choose Other Contacts Account
4. Tap Add CardDAV Account
5. Copy/Paste the Server, and app-specific Username and Password in the correct fields

Add Your Contacts to Other Contact Apps

Daylite uses CardDAV, a standard protocol supported by many contact management applications. This means you can add your Daylite contacts to apps like BusyContacts or other CardDAV-compatible apps.

Most CardDAV-compatible apps will require your server address, app-specific username, and password, which you can generate in your Account Manager under Calendar and Contact Integration. If a port number is required, use 443.

Refer to your contacts app’s documentation for specific setup instructions.
