A simple tool to help merge multiple Virtual Contact File (VCF) files. These are the vCard files used in smartphones.
It automatically finds unique contacts and displays duplicate contacts for you to inspect.
Contacts are analyzed for similarity based on the last few characters in the rows that store phone numbers.
Do the following pip install before running the program:
pip install loguru textwrap
As a general precaution, keep backups of your contact files even after merging them.
Run the program using: python main.py
