## What is HandleShare?

Your business card, reimagined.

HandleShare turns your iPhone into the only business card you'll ever need. Build your card once — name, title, company, links, photo, bio — and share it in seconds with a QR code anyone can scan with their camera. No app required on their end: your details land straight in their contacts.

SHARE MORE THAN A NAME
• Contact card (vCard) with phone, email, address, and pronouns
• Your links — website, social profiles, portfolio
• Booking and payment links (Calendly, Venmo, PayPal, and more)
• A short intro and bio so people remember the conversation
• File attachments: portfolio, menu, rate card, resume — sent right along with your card

HAND OVER THE WI-FI
Add your network to your card and guests join by scanning a code. No more spelling out passwords across the room — perfect for offices, studios, rentals, and cafés.

SCAN PAPER CARDS, TOO
Got handed a paper business card? Point the camera at it and HandleShare turns it into a contact, ready to save. Your scan history keeps everything you've collected in one place.

A CARD FOR EVERY CONTEXT
Keep separate profiles — work, personal, side project, event — and switch between them instantly. Each has its own QR code, links, and attachments.

SHARE YOUR WAY
QR code on screen, AirDrop, Messages, email, or the share sheet. Attachments come along for the ride, and big files are handled automatically via Mail Drop.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No analytics, tracking, or ads. Your cards live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud — we never see your data, because we don't have servers. Sharing happens directly from your phone to the person in front of you, and only when you choose.

WORKS OFFLINE
Everything works without a connection. Your cards, QR codes, and attachments are always ready — sync catches up when you're back online.

FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT
Two cards are free forever, and nothing else is behind a paywall — sharing, Wi-Fi codes, the scanner and attachments are all unlimited. Handleshare Pro ($2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49 once) simply lifts the two-card limit for people who need more. No ads, ever.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2014-12-18*

This is a must have.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-12-03*

It would get 5 stars from me if you would add the ability to add our Flickr handle to the list we can share.

**Developer response:** Hello! We are back after 10+ years! 👀

You can now add custom links either as individual links or as part of the “bio” portion of each profile! If you need more links slots or anything less feel free to reach out to us at https://handleshare.com

### 5/5 — Great app with one very minor issue.

*2013-09-02*

My only gripe is that there is not a way to add custom links. I run, as well as moderate  multiple G+ communities which would be nice to have an easier way of sharing their urls, which this app has the potential for.
Also, it'd be nice to have Goodreads as a quick share link.

Must have and great interface

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2013-05-05*

I love how clean the interface is! This is exactly what I've needed when networking or meeting new people.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-05-02*

Amazing, simple way to share contacts!!!

### 5/5 — Instant Social Connection

*2013-04-27*

This app is the smartest way to send all your social media connections to someone at once, no writing, no typing, no misspelling - all you need is an e-mail address and you'll be instantly connected to a new follower. It's like Bump but for your social media presence. Invaluable.

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2013-04-26*

Super quick to use when you just meet someone and want to connect online without having to remember to follow up the next day. Also really like that you can customize / tap which handles to share depending on the situation. Great job!

### 5/5 — Awesome idea. Finally someone did it.

*2013-04-26*

Great and easy way to share your handles with someone you meet who you want to stay in touch with. 

Setting up the handles you know is super easy; would be great if it were easier to set up the ones you don't know but I'm thinking this is just the first version of the app. 

Really nice job! Looking forward to additions to the app.

### 5/5 — Much improved interface! Cool app for networking in digital age

*2013-04-26*

Love this - simple, easy to use and useful for sharing my social media names with friends and potential business connections.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-09-18

HandleShare is rebuilt from the ground up.

• A card for every side of you. Work, personal, side project, the school run — each with its own links, files and QR code. Swipe up to reach the next one, or open the switcher and pick.
• Decide what goes out, every single time. Turn your phone number off for one share and leave it on for the next; a live preview shows exactly what the other person will receive before you send.
• Attachments. Send a resume, a menu, a rate card or a portfolio along with the card.
• A code for every link, not just your contact details.
• A built-in scanner that previews what a code holds before it opens.
• Your cards now live in your own private iCloud and sync across your devices. No account, no servers, no tracking.
• Built-in backup and restore, so a card is never one mistake away from gone.

Everyone who downloaded HandleShare before this version keeps Pro free, for good. Thank you for being here early.

### 2.0 — 2013-04-25

- Introducing a brand new look and feel. In short, we added some class and style to sharing handles. 
- Now you can share your handles for GitHub, YouTube, Vimeo and Vine…with more services in our next release
- Can't remember what your handle is? Go to My Handles and tap the logo for the service you'd like to add; you'll be taken directly to that site.
- In My Info, you can now include your Title and Company so you can toot your own horn more effectively.
- The How To section is now nicer to look at. Oh, you can also tell friends, family, co-workers and strangers on the street about HandleShare there, by tapping the Recommend HandleShare buttons.

And in our next version (coming sooner than this one!) we promise even more updates to make your handle sharing even faster, easier and productive.
