You meet someone worth remembering — on a sales call, at a client site, over dinner, on a show floor. Two weeks later they're a name you can't place and a follow-up that never went out. Metkeep makes sure something happens next. SCAN ANYTHING Business cards, badges, QR codes, or just a voice note about the person you met. Metkeep reads it, files it, and remembers the conversation for you. KNOW WHO YOU MET Pro researches the company for you: what they do, how big they are, and what your contact likely owns. Every new contact gets a call — PROSPECT worth pitching now, or CONNECTOR worth introducing to someone you know.

YOUR OWN CARD, THEIR PHONE Your digital card with a QR code anyone can scan with a plain camera — with your LinkedIn on it. They save your contact; you can capture theirs back. No app needed on their end. YOURS Every contact you capture is stored on your device and your private iCloud — searchable and exportable (CSV, vCard) even if you never pay a cent.
