I am looking for a contact manager to replace a google account or iCloud account.

I am currently on iOS (and actively dislike it after being on android since forever) and looking to increase my privacy by cutting ties with my google accounts.

A Google account presently manages my contacts, and I do not want iOS to take over this job, I’d rather manage them myself.

I tried searching for FOSS contact managers but all I found was client relation software which isn’t what I want at all…. I don’t think.. I just want my phone numbers and names saved for easy personal use.

Is there anything good for managing a personal phone book?

Just a quick comment about Nextcloud. I host that on my media center (which runs Ubuntu) which is inside my LAN. It can sync CalDAV and CardDAV stuff. Just mentioning as a real world example. We also use it to share files, tasks, sync Joplin, etc. Really handy. Not sure I'd want to keep up with patches and security on the public net, but on my LAN I think it is fine.

Other more expensive direction, I wonder if there is a Synology product that would do it. People seam to rave about Synology NAS.
