Cardr scans a business card and drops the whole contact into your iPhone Contacts in one tap — name, title, company, phones, email, website, address. It runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and newer). Nothing is uploaded. No account, no subscription, no cloud — just a one-time $8.99 unlock after 3 free scans. A privacy-first alternative to cloud card scanners that make you sign up and pay monthly.

Hi PH 👋 I'm Konstantin, a solo dev. I kept collecting paper cards and hated that every scanner wanted an account, a subscription, and my contacts in their cloud. So I built the opposite: Cardr reads the card with Apple's on-device model and writes it straight to Contacts — nothing ever leaves your phone. One-time price, App Privacy label is literally "Data Not Collected." Under the hood: Vision OCR + Apple's Foundation Models framework. Needs iPhone 15 Pro+ (that's where the AI runs). Would love feedback on parsing accuracy. AMA 🙌

Love that everything runs on-device with Apple Intelligence instead of farming my cards out to some random cloud OCR service. The 3 free scans before the unlock is a fair way to let people actually try the OCR quality first.

@aziyenegi5z9b Thanks, Şaziye! 🙏 That's exactly the balance I was going for — enough free scans to actually judge OCR quality, not a crippled demo, but no server needed to enforce the limit. If you get a chance to try it, I'd love to hear how it handles trickier cards — multiple phone numbers, non-Latin names, weird layouts. That's the stuff that's hardest to get right on-device.
