Card Notebook: Lead Scanner
iPhone / Economie et entreprise
Scan a business card, get a contact in two seconds. Built for trade shows,
career fairs, and field sales. Works in airplane mode. Your scans never
leave your iPhone.
Card Notebook uses Apple Intelligence to extract structured contact data
from a card photo entirely on-device. Name, title, company, email, phone,
website — picked off and ready to save to Apple Contacts in one tap. No
account, no cloud, no subscription, no ads. One purchase, yours forever.
WHAT IT DOES
• Single-tap capture or batch mode for a stack of cards.
• On-device extraction via Apple's Foundation Models. Nothing uploaded.
• Tag by event — DevCon, RecruitingFair, the booth row at CES.
• Save to Apple Contacts, share as vCard, or export the whole event as CSV
for Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or a spreadsheet.
• The original photo stays alongside, so you can re-read what you wrote
on the back later.
REQUIREMENTS
• iPhone 15 Pro or newer running iOS 26.
• Apple Intelligence enabled (Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri).
• Card Notebook will not operate on iPhones without Apple Intelligence —
the on-device model is what makes the extraction work, and there is no
cloud fallback by design.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Trade-show exhibitors collecting booth leads
• Recruiters at career fairs and university hiring events
• Field-sales reps between flights
• Real-estate agents at open houses
• Anyone who walks out of an event with a stack of cards and dreads the
data entry
WHAT IT IS NOT
• Not a CRM. It feeds your CRM, it does not replace it.
• Not a digital business card sharer — Apple Wallet and NameDrop already
do that.
• Not free-with-ads. The price you see is the price.
PRIVACY
• No analytics SDK. No third-party servers. Card data lives only on your
iPhone, in this app's sandbox. Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device.
• Refer to the in-app Settings → Privacy screen, or

ABOUT
Made by a solo developer who got tired of CamCard's renewal emails. One
purchase, one app, one job done well. Updates come because the app should
be better, not because there's a subscription clock.

who reads every email.
