Every business card you're handed becomes a clean, complete contact — and your own card becomes something you can share with anyone, no app required on their end.
Free to try: scan up to 10 cards. Unlock cardlio once — a single purchase, no subscription — for unlimited cards, every export, and Office 365 sync.
SCAN ANYTHING WITH A CARD ON IT
• Live camera capture finds the card, straightens it, and reads it — even several cards in one shot
• Import photos or whole PDF stacks at once
• Paste an email signature and get a contact, no photo needed
• Review before saving: every field validated and editable
READS CARDS LIKE A PERSON WOULD
cardlio looks at the layout, not just the letters. The big name up top is the person; the line by the logo is the company. It title-cases ALL-CAPS names, repairs spaced-out emails, reads international address formats, and keeps multi-office cards straight. Every address is verified against Apple Maps and pinned.
YOUR NETWORK, VISIBLE
• A world map with your contacts' cards as pins
• Stats: countries, companies, industries, growth over time
• Search that filters — tap suggestions like "Industry: Finance"
• Duplicate detection and merge
HAND OUT YOUR CARD WITHOUT THE CARD
• Share it as a link — your whole card travels inside the link and opens in any browser with an Add to Contacts button (free)
• Show a QR code anyone's camera can scan (free)
• Write it to an NFC tag — any phone taps it to open your card, no app needed
• Add it to Apple Wallet, QR included, two clicks from the lock screen
GET YOUR CARDS OUT (premium)
• Sync straight into your Office 365 / Outlook contacts — one click, no duplicates, even Business Fax
• Save cards to your Apple Contacts
• Export vCard, CSV, Outlook-ready CSV, and Salesforce-ready CSV
ALSO
• Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud
• Voice notes: dictate context after a scan, transcribed into the card
• A built-in handbook explains everything, offline
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Scanning, recognition, and organizing run entirely on your device. Your library lives on your devices and in your private iCloud — no accounts, no tracking, no servers reading your contacts. Shared card links carry the card inside the link itself; it never touches a server. Office 365 sync sends contacts only to your own Microsoft account. Optionally bring your own AI key (Anthropic or Google) for the trickiest cards — off by default.
cardlio is also on the Mac App Store — one library, every machine.
