## What is CardVault?

CardVault turns the stack of cards on your desk into a clean, searchable address book — and it all happens on your device.

Point your camera at a card and CardVault scans, recognizes, and files it in seconds. Name, company, title, phone (with extension), email, website, address, and LINE ID are detected automatically, with support for Chinese, Japanese, and Western cards. No typing, no account, no cloud required.

Privacy first
• Fully offline — scanning and text recognition run on your device, even in Airplane Mode.
• No account, no sign-up, no email — just open and scan.
• Nothing is uploaded to any server, and the developer can't access your data.
• Optional iCloud sync stores cards only in your own private iCloud, synced across your devices.

Effortless organizing
• Sort and group with tags and favorites — by date, name, or company.
• Archive cards you no longer need instead of deleting them, and restore them anytime.
• Long-press a card to select several at once, then favorite, archive, or export them.
• Find anyone straight from iPhone system search (Spotlight).
• Keep the original front and back image of every card.
• Browse as a list or a Wallet-style card wall.

Share & export
• Add a card to Contacts — only the one you choose, nothing else touched.
• Create your own digital card and hand it over as a QR code; one scan adds you to their contacts.
• Turn your card into a social-ready image in one tap, with adjustable background and aspect ratio, ready for a post or story.
• Export a complete vCard / CSV backup anytime.

Native design
• Built with native iOS design — intuitive, and great in both Light and Dark Mode.
• Customize the card style (Classic / Gradient / Pattern / Glass), font, colors, photo, and layout to build your own look.

Designed for iPhone and iPad.
