About

Lumecard

Lumecard is where your loyalty cards, gift cards, membership cards, and transit passes actually belong: on your phone, private, and easy to get to when you need them. Scan it once. It's ready every time. Point your camera at a barcode or QR code and Lumecard reads it automatically, no typing required. Open a saved card and the screen jumps to full brightness so it scans cleanly at checkout, even in a dim store or a badly lit register. Nothing about you is collected. That's not a slogan, it's the architecture. Lumecard has no account system and no server, because it doesn't need one. Everything lives on your device. If you want a backup, you can turn on sync to your own private iCloud, or export an encrypted backup file yourself. Either way, nothing ever passes through us, because there's no "us" in the loop to pass through. No ads. No analytics. No third-party SDKs quietly reporting home. Smart, without sending anything anywhere. Type a recognized brand name, or let Lumecard's on-device AI recognize a card from its photo, and your card's name, category, and color fill in automatically. Ask a plain-language question like "what's expiring soon" and get a real answer, instantly. All of this runs entirely on your phone's own chip. Nothing you type, scan, or ask is ever sent anywhere, not even to us, not even to Apple. Built for how a wallet actually gets used. - Custom fields for expiry dates, gift card balances, membership numbers, and PINs, with reminders before something expires or runs low - A smart spotlight that surfaces the card you're most likely to need, based on patterns that never leave your device - Optional location reminders, entirely private, that nudge you toward the right card when you're near where it's used - Share a card directly to someone else's phone over AirDrop, no account or server involved on either end - Local diagnostic tools if something ever goes wrong, fully visible to you, never sent anywhere unless you choose to send it yourself One promise, checkable line by line. Lumecard is part of My Honest Apps, a small set of apps built to one standard: nothing collected, because there's nothing here to collect it with.
