## What is CardMotion?

Send a greeting card that actually moves.

CardMotion turns a short animated scene into a personal card, then saves it as an ordinary video you can send to anyone — by message, email, or any app you already use. Nothing to install on their end. Nothing to lose in the mail.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick the occasion, then the scene.
Tap a line to write your own words on the front. Drag it where you want it.
Add a message on the back — typed, or written out by hand, on your choice of nine papers.
Choose how the card opens.
Save and share. It is a normal video file.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN

There is no account and no sign-up. Your words and your message never leave your phone — they are not sent to us, and they are not in our crash reports or our analytics. Cards are made on your device.

FREE

Every card, every feature, every export. There is no subscription and nothing is locked. If you would like to support the work there is an optional tip jar, and it unlocks nothing — everything you have stays exactly the same.
