The business card you actually own.

Tap or scan to hand someone your contact details, your resume and your links, served from your own URL, hosted for nothing, with no company sitting in the middle. Change your job title once and every card you have ever given out is current.

The status quo

What a card subscription
actually buys you.

01

Their name in front of yours

You hand a recruiter a link that starts with somebody else's domain and ends in four random characters. On a page whose entire job is to be about you.

02

Your network, behind a paywall

Everyone who taps your card lands in the vendor's contact book. Getting that list back out as a CSV is a paid feature. It's your network, rented back to you.

03

A monthly bill for a static page

Underneath the app it is a mobile web page and a link on a chip. The page doesn't change. The subscription renews anyway.

How it works

Three steps, one evening.

1

Tell us who you are

Name, title, links, and your resume. One short form. No account to create, no app to download.

2

Your page goes live

A fast, mobile-first card at your own address, over HTTPS, pointed at a domain you own if you have one. Change your title later and it updates everywhere at once, including on every card you have already handed out.

3

Hand someone the card

They tap it, or scan the code on the back, and your page opens. Nothing to install on their side. The chip holds the link and never the data, which is why a new job never costs you a reprint.

What's included

The whole card,
not just the web page.

Most digital cards hand you a profile page and stop. The hard part is everything after that: the vCard that opens correctly on iOS, a QR that still scans at 30mm, artwork a printer will accept.

Your card page

Opens instantly on any phone. Nothing for them to install.

Save Contact

vCard 3.0 with CRLF endings, served so iOS opens the Add Contact sheet.

Resume hosting

The thing hosted card apps won't do. Your PDF, your URL.

Vector QR

SVG and PNG at error level Q. Crisp at any size, survives a wallet.

Chip written & locked

Programmed before it reaches you, then locked so nobody can overwrite it.

Print artwork

CR80 at exact size, plus a bleed version with crop marks.

Engraving file

Single-colour artwork for laser-engraving wood and bamboo blanks.

Share screen

Fullscreen QR that installs to your home screen and holds the display awake.

Link previews

Open Graph image so your name shows when someone texts your link on.

Private by default

Card indexable; resume and vCard kept out of search crawlers.

No tracking

Zero third-party requests. Nobody counts who taps your card, including us.

Tap to copy

One tap copies your email, for pasting straight into a recruiter's ATS.

The honest counterpoint: a hosted app works this afternoon, and a page you never finish building is worth nothing.

See it live

The page behind the tap.

The tap is the part you need a card for. This is where it lands: a real card, loading right now, exactly as it opens for someone you just handed one to.

  • They tap your card. The page opens in about a second, with no app on either side.
  • Save Contact writes you straight into their address book, as a real vCard.
  • Your resume opens from the same page. That is the part hosted card apps will not do.
  • Change your title later and every card already in someone's wallet updates itself.

This is the real page.

Not a mockup. That frame is the live card, loading the same way it does when somebody taps the chip. Scroll it, tap the links, save the contact.
