Cardr scans a business card and drops the whole contact into your iPhone Contacts in one tap — name, title, company, phones, email, website, address. It runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and newer). Nothing is uploaded. No account, no subscription, no cloud — just a one-time $8.99 unlock after 3 free scans. A privacy-first alternative to cloud card scanners that make you sign up and pay monthly.
Hi PH 👋 I'm Konstantin, a solo dev. I kept collecting paper cards and hated that every scanner wanted an account, a subscription, and my contacts in their cloud. So I built the opposite: Cardr reads the card with Apple's on-device model and writes it straight to Contacts — nothing ever leaves your phone. One-time price, App Privacy label is literally "Data Not Collected." Under the hood: Vision OCR + Apple's Foundation Models framework. Needs iPhone 15 Pro+ (that's where the AI runs). Would love feedback on parsing accuracy. AMA 🙌
Love that everything runs on-device with Apple Intelligence instead of farming my cards out to some random cloud OCR service. The 3 free scans before the unlock is a fair way to let people actually try the OCR quality first.

Who hunted Cardr?
Cardr was hunted by Konstantin Mishukov. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
