Badgey turns your iPhone into a name badge. Add your photo, name and role, pick a design, then wear it: on a lanyard or in your chest pocket, your badge turns to face the people you meet. WEAR IT ON A LANYARD Clip your phone to a lanyard and turn it upside down. Badgey flips your badge the right way round for everyone in front of you and drops in a lanyard to match. As you walk, turn and lean, the badge swings with you, just like a real one. Prefer it still? Turn Swing off. OR IN YOUR POCKET Slide your phone into a chest pocket, top first. Badgey notices and shrinks your badge to a bright strip, so your name stays on show above the pocket's edge. DESIGNS THAT LOOK THE PART • Classic: your photo, full bleed, under a holographic foil that catches the light as you move • Office: a company ID with a passport photo and bands in your lanyard color • Event: a conference pass with a round photo • Minimal: matte graphite with crisp white type • Live: an animated background, with 15 to choose from, like Bloom, Aurora, Prism and Luxury MAKE IT YOURS • Edit your name, role and link right on the card • Take a photo or choose one from your library • Pick a background: any color, a picture or an animation • Five type styles: Default, Rounded, Serif, Mono and Condensed • A lanyard that matches your card, or any color you like A BADGE FOR EVERY OCCASION Keep a badge for work, one for the conference you're speaking at and one for the meetup you're volunteering at. Swipe between them and wear whichever fits the day. SHARE IN A SCAN Add a link to your website, portfolio or profile and your badge flips over to a QR code anyone can scan with their camera. FREE TO START Badgey is free with one badge, the Classic and Live designs and the Bloom animation. Badgey Pro is a one-time purchase, shared with your family, that unlocks more badges, every design, the Live animations, backgrounds and type styles. Only want one design or animation? Buy it on its own. Luxury is sold on its own. THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN • The screen stays awake while you wear your badge • No account, no ads, no subscription • Works on iPhone and iPad • Pocket detection uses the front camera briefly, only while your phone is upside down. Frames are analyzed on your device and never stored. – Privacy Policy: https://www.marcoluthi.com/badgey/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Contact: hi@luthi-mar.co
