About

CardBox Wallet

Features
Read full description

Your wallet, on your iPhone. And nowhere else. CardBox holds the cards you actually carry — bank and payment cards, ID cards, your driver's license, vehicle registration, transit passes, loyalty and membership cards — as a deck you flick through with your thumb. Scan a card and CardBox straightens it, cleans it up, and reads the details off the front. All of that happens on your iPhone. There's no account to create, no server to sync with, and nothing watching what you do. CardBox contains no networking code at all. SCAN IT ONCE • Point the camera at your card, or pick a photo you already have • Drag the four corners onto the card and it's flattened out square • Brightness, saturation and denoise sliders to clean up the result • The original scan is kept, so you can re-adjust later without ever degrading it IT KNOWS WHAT IT'S LOOKING AT CardBox recognises ten kinds of card and fills in the fields each one actually carries — number and expiry for a bank card, valid-till and vehicle class for a licence, chassis and engine number for an RC. Guessed wrong? Change the type in a tap and the fields follow. A DECK, NOT A LIST Your cards fan out like a hand you're holding. Drag to browse. Tap to bring one forward, tap again to lift it out. Swipe to flip it over. Long-press for everything saved on it. BEHIND YOUR FACE Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before CardBox opens, before a card is shared, and before a backup is imported. If Face ID fails it falls back to your passcode, so a bad scan can never lock you out of your own cards. SHARE WITHOUT EXPOSING Send a card to someone and it travels encrypted with AES-GCM, behind aand give them the code separately. Without it, the file is unreadable. YOURS TO KEEP • Export any card as a PDF • Back up your whole wallet to Files, or to iCloud Drive if you want it on your other devices • Delete the app and your cards go with it PRIVACY, PLAINLY No servers. No account. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no cloud sync. Text recognition runs on Apple's Vision framework, entirely on your device. We never see your cards because there is nowhere for them to go. The honest flip side: we can't recover them for you either. Make a backup. CARDBOX PLUS Free wallets hold five cards and one card share a month. CardBox Plus is a one-time purchase — not a subscription — and unlocks: • Unlimited cards • PDF export • Unlimited card sharing CardBox is a place to keep your cards, not a payment app. It can't tap, pay, or stand in for the real thing at a counter. Requires iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CardBox Wallet at none against Virtual Steering Controller's 2. CardBox Wallet also leads on ads (none vs shown). Virtual Steering Controller's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
