CardCompass Gift Card Tracker is the first app that actually helps you use your gift cards. Most gift cards go unspent because you forget about them. CardCompass fixes that by alerting you the moment you walk near a store where you have a balance waiting — so you never leave money on the table again. Whether it's a $5 coffee shop card buried in your wallet or a $100 department store card you got last holiday season, CardCompass makes sure every dollar gets spent. SMART LOCATION ALERTS CardCompass runs quietly in the background and sends a notification the moment you're near a store where you have a gift card. Walk past a Target? You'll know you have a balance before you even walk in. No more mentally cataloging every card you own — CardCompass does the remembering for you. BALANCE REMINDERS After you visit a store, CardCompass can send a follow-up reminder to update your balance so your records stay accurate. Set the delay that works for you, from a few minutes to an hour. SCAN CARDS IN SECONDS Skip the manual entry. Use your camera to scan card numbers and PINs directly from your physical cards. CardCompass uses on-device text recognition to pull the details automatically — fast, accurate, and completely private. TRACK EVERY BALANCE Store all your gift cards in one place with balances, card numbers, and PINs. The Summary tab gives you a visual breakdown of your total gift card wealth across every store, so you always know exactly what you have and where. CUSTOMIZABLE NOTIFICATIONS You're in control. Adjust the proximity radius that triggers nearby alerts, set cooldown periods to avoid repeat notifications, and toggle balance reminders on or off — all from the Settings tab. COMPLETELY PRIVATE Everything stays on your device. No account required, no cloud sync, no data ever leaves your phone. CardCompass is built around the belief that your financial information should stay yours.
