VCARD QR CODE - SHARE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION COMPLETELY OFFLINE Select your contact, choose which fields to include in your card and its QR code - and you’re done. Whenever you make changes to your contact, they are automatically reflected in DejaView as well. So, forget about forgetting to update your business cards.* *Auto-Updating requires permission to access contacts and is optional. You can use DejaView without Auto-Updating and update your card manually instead. URL CARD Create a QR code from any link you like. Whether it is instant messaging, your homepage, profile on a social networking platform or landing page. Just paste the URL and you’re good to go. SUPPORT FOR OVER THIRTY POPULAR PLATFORMS When you’re using a link for one of the supported platforms, the app automatically offers a matching card design with brand color and icon. INDIVIDUALIZE YOUR CARD Create a stunning card easily: select a picture and choose your favorite background color, gradient color, and text color. This only affects your card’s design – the selected picture won't be part of the QR code due to technical limitations. AUTO-COLOR You don’t want to worry about color schemes? No problem - we got you covered. With auto-color DejaView automatically adds a beautiful gradient to your card based on your selected background color and chooses the appropriate text color according to WCAG AA contrast-ratio.

MORE FEATURES Match your Home Screen by choosing from three different app icons Fine-tune display settings based on your needs Got a lot of cards? Find the card you’re looking for easily with search Support for English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese ABOUT DEJAVIEW We think, paper business cards have reached the end of their lives. In most cases you always print way too much and when your job title or phone number changes, you still have left plenty of them. So, what about NFC cards made of plastic or metal? While this solution may be more versatile and easier to update, you still have a physical card, adding bulk to your wallet. And: you are depending on a service, hosted by the provider of your NFC card. Which means no offline functionality and once the company stops offering their service, your plastic/metal card is simply useless. For this reason, DejaView works without any external dependencies or servers involved. When you choose to create a vCard QR code, your contact information is included in the QR code itself – eliminating the need for an internet connection when scanning the code.

Quickly send a link from your iOS device to your Mac. It provides a “Send to Mac” button in the share sheet of any app that provides a URL. For example, share a link from Safari on your iPhone or iPad and have it open in the default browser on your Mac. You can send a link even if your iOS device and/or Mac are offline. The link will be sent and received the next time the devices are online. The link will never be lost. The devices do not need to be on the same network. Your iOS device and Mac must have iCloud enabled and be signed into the same Apple ID account. My personal use-case is that I often discover cool stuff when I check Twitter on the go and I want to dig deeper into it later on my Mac. I have tried Instapaper, Pocket, Safari Reading List, iCloud Tabs, and more. The problem with them all is that I forget to check them. You can even use this app to trigger shortcuts on your Mac from your iOS device. See the website for more info. Sends to one Mac only. Install the macOS app on the single Mac you want to receive links on. If you install it on multiple Macs, iCloud may deliver a link to any of them, unpredictably. Note: Because of an iOS bug, you have to restart your device for the Shortcuts actions to show up. Note: Links will not be sent when low power mode is enabled as background syncing is disabled then. They will be sent the next time you open the app. ■ FAQ ‣ How is it better than AirDrop? - Works when your Mac is offline - Works when you are not on the same network as your Mac - Much faster - Opens links on your Mac in the background ‣ How is it better than iCloud Tabs? - Works in any app with a share sheet, not just Safari - Links are opened as tabs in your browser so you cannot miss them - No need to spend time looking for the link in a long list of links - Supports any browser on your Mac - You don't need to keep the tab open on your iOS device for it to be available on your Mac ‣ How is it better than Safari Reading List? - Links are opened right in your browser so you cannot miss them - No need to spend time looking for the link in a long list of links - Supports any browser on your Mac ‣ Can you support multiple Macs? No. I would like to keep the app simple. ■ Privacy The app uses iCloud syncing to securely send links from your iOS device to your Mac. The app developer will not see the links you share. The app does not collect any personal data and does not have any tracking. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.
