How It Works
1
Point your camera at the card
Open Scard and hold the business card inside the frame. Auto edge detection squares it up, or tap the photo icon to import a card you already photographed.
2
Fields are extracted automatically
Apple Vision OCR runs on your device and pulls out the name, title, company, phone, fax, email, website, and address — no internet needed. When you're online, optional AI parsing improves accuracy.
3
Save to Contacts or tag it
Review the fields, then save straight to your iPhone Contacts with one tap. Add a tag — like the event name or industry — so you can find the card later.
4
Export when you need to
When it's time to move contacts into a spreadsheet, Outlook, or a CRM, export your cards as CSV, vCard, or plain text. Everything syncs privately across your Apple devices via iCloud.

Read guideFrequently Asked Questions
How do I scan a business card to iPhone Contacts?
Open Scard, point your camera at the card, and on-device OCR extracts the name, title, company, phone, fax, email, website, and address. Review the fields and tap Save to add the person to your iPhone Contacts — no typing, no account. Learn more
Can I export scanned cards to Excel or CSV?
Yes. Scard exports your cards as a CSV file that opens directly in Excel and Google Sheets, with each contact as a row and every field in its own column. You can also export vCard or plain text. Learn more
How do I organize the cards I scan?
Add custom tags by event or industry as you scan, then search or filter by tag, name, or company across your whole collection — even from Spotlight on your home screen. A quick 24-hour follow-up routine turns cards into contacts. Learn more
Is my data private?
Yes. OCR runs on-device with Apple Vision, so card images aren't sent to third-party servers. Your collection syncs only through your own private iCloud, there's no account, and your data is never sold or shared. Learn more
Can I import scanned cards into Outlook or a CRM?
Yes, through export. Scard doesn't integrate directly with Outlook or CRMs, but it exports a vCard or CSV that you import using their own tools — Outlook's People → Import, or your CRM's import wizard with column mapping. Learn more
Which fields does the scanner extract?
In a single pass, Scard extracts the full name, job title, company name, phone numbers, fax, email addresses, website, and postal address from a business card.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. Scanning uses Apple Vision OCR directly on your device, so it works with no internet connection. When you're online, optional AI-powered field parsing can improve accuracy, but it isn't required.
Do I need an account to use Scard?
No. There's no account and no sign-up — download and start scanning immediately. Your card collection syncs privately across your Apple devices through your own iCloud. Requires iOS 17 or later on iPhone and iPad.
Clear Your Card Stack Before You Leave the Room
Stop transcribing business cards by hand. Scard reads every field on-device, saves to your iPhone Contacts with one tap, and exports to CSV or vCard when you need it — no account, private by design. Free to download on the App Store.
