Project: Recretary

Recretary is a desktop app for managing contacts and meetings, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). For fast typists, Recretary is the faster option for finishing contact management tasks than traditional GUI apps.
