You are not the same person to everyone. Facets keeps each version of you on its own card, ready to hand to someone in about two seconds. Day job. Side gig. The band. The freelance thing. Each card gets its own look, its own details, and its own files. No more digging through Contacts. No more hunting for that QR code in your camera roll. No more "let me find my LinkedIn." MAKE A CARD FOR EACH THING YOU DO Start from scratch or pull from an existing contact. Add only what that card needs. A DJ card can be a name, a photo, and an Instagram handle. Your work card can carry the full set. Nothing is required except a name, and Facets never nags you to fill in a phone number you did not want to give out. Six starting looks that share nothing visually, so your accounting card and your club flyer never look like they came from the same app. Premium adds a designer for colour, fonts, and saved themes, plus a pattern designer. ATTACH YOUR ACTUAL WORK Link files straight from the Files app. Your EPK. A portfolio PDF. A rate sheet. Work samples. The files stay where they are, in Files, in your iCloud Drive, wherever you keep them. Facets just remembers where, and sends them along with the card. This is the part that matters at 1am when someone asks for your press kit and you are scrolling past four thousand photos. HOLD OTHER PEOPLE'S CARDS TOO Cards you receive land in an inbox. Keep them, group them, hand them on. If you manage artists, you can carry your roster. If you are at a conference and someone needs the right person, you have their card ready instead of "let me find their email and get back to you." Groups let you build a roster of cards and press kits and share from it. SHARE IT HOWEVER SUITS THE MOMENT QR code, big and bright, for someone across a loud room. An image, so it works in any messaging app and can go straight to a Story. A contact file, so it lands in their Contacts properly. AirDrop, Messages, WhatsApp, email, whatever they use. And Facets to Facets, phone to phone, over local radios. No internet involved. That one is always free, for both of you, forever. KEEP THE SIDES APART Some of what you do is nobody else's business. Private cards sit behind a PIN. Cards you keep out front stay out front. You decide which is which. WHAT WE DO NOT DO No account. No login. No server. No analytics. Facets cannot read your cards because it never receives them. They live on this phone. Turn on backup and your cards are copied to your own iCloud, which we have no access to either. We do not track who scans your card. Other apps sell that as a feature. We think an app that watches you on your own behalf is still an app that watches you. PRICING One card free, with one file link. Everything on that card works. One purchase unlocks unlimited cards, the private PIN vault, unlimited file links, groups, the theme and pattern designers, saving received cards to Contacts, starting a card from Contacts, opening on a card you choose, and backup to your iCloud. One purchase. Not a subscription. Not a trial. You buy it once and it is yours.
