Card photos scattered across your library? Family details hard to find when you need them? CardPouch keeps identity documents, bank cards, loyalty cards, coupons and their photos together. Capture text, organize by member, search and copy details quickly. No developer account and no ads. Everyday organization and viewing work offline. ORGANIZE YOUR FAMILY'S CARDS Create members for yourself, children or parents, assign each card to one member, and filter by member and card type together. Members organize records within your wallet; they are not shared accounts or invitations to other people. KEEP YOUR OWN ORDER New cards appear at the end. Drag cards in the full list or within a category to update one shared order. The app remembers your last member and type filters on this device. Archive cards you do not need every day. CAPTURE, CHECK AND SAVE Take a photo or import one, recognize text on device, then check and edit the result. Record supported ID validity periods and credit limits with currency. Read membership and coupon codes directly from photos. STATEMENT AND REPAYMENT REMINDERS See days until a credit card's next statement. Choose a fixed repayment day or an estimated date a set number of days after the statement, with separate reminder switches. Dates follow your entries, not a live bank connection; verify them against your bank's statement. Notifications require system permission. VIEW ORIGINALS AND ADD WATERMARKS Zoom and rotate saved photos, add a purpose or date watermark, and share. Replace or remove originals while editing; changes take effect when you save. Watermarks identify intended use but do not prevent copying or redistribution. OPTIONAL ENCRYPTED ICLOUD SYNC Enable sync for cards, members, photos and applied flattened backgrounds across devices using the same Apple Account. Data is encrypted on device before upload. Sync needs iCloud Keychain, network access and available storage. Editable background libraries and layers remain local. Deletions sync too, so sync is not a historical backup. Local-network device migration is also available. SHOW MEMBERSHIP CODES QUICKLY Display eligible loyalty and coupon codes on the Lock Screen. Pro adds Home Screen widgets and related extension entries, plus custom Apple Wallet pass generation. Names and codes may be visible without unlocking, so enable them selectively. Wallet generation needs internet access and confirmation in Apple's system interface. FREE FEATURES AND PRO The free version supports up to five counted cards, on-device recognition, encrypted storage, member organization, iCloud sync, reminders, watermarks, backgrounds and local migration. Pro unlocks unlimited cards, Home Screen widgets and Apple Wallet generation through monthly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions or a one-time lifetime purchase. Available plans, prices and offers appear at purchase. Apple handles subscription billing and renewal. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Existing cards are not deleted when Pro expires. Archived cards count toward the free limit; demo cards and Recently Deleted do not. A device passcode is required. CardPouch does not replace physical credentials or provide payments, NFC access-card emulation or official identity verification. Check recognition results against originals. Local changes do not automatically update or remove independent Apple Wallet passes.
