Cardillon is an iPhone and iPad app for pop-up greeting cards with lights and a music box. Pick a card, write your message and send it as a link. They open it with a finger on any phone or computer, no app needed. Your first three cards are free. Android and Windows coming soon.
I'm Valerio, I made Cardillon.
It's an iPhone and iPad app for pop-up greeting cards you send as a link. You pick a card, write their name and a few lines, and send it from Messages or WhatsApp. On their side there's nothing to install. They open the card with a finger, on a phone or a computer, and it lights up and plays a little music box tune.
The idea came from the iPhone Duo. I wanted a card that opens as you open the phone, and on the Duo that's exactly what happens. On any other iPhone you open it with a finger. On a MacBook, the free Cardillon Viewer turns the lid into the cover.
There are birthday, congratulations and love cards today. Christmas cards arrive on December 1, Happy New Year on December 26. Your first three cards are free; after that you buy small packs. No subscription, no account.
Android and Windows versions are coming soon.
The people and places in the video are AI-generated; the app screens are real.
Update: version 1.2 came out today. Buying cards is clearer: each card you send uses one, and the cards you bought follow your Apple Account on every device. Holiday cards show up on their own in season, and long messages always fit the card.
Which occasion should I make next?
