How it works

Paper in your hand, a contact in your pocket.

1Scan the card

Point the camera. Cardessa finds the edges, straightens the shot and reads it — right on your iPhone.

2Check the fields

Name, company, phone and email land in their own fields. Didn't read something right? Tap the field and fix it.

3Keep it, use it

The card joins your library with its original photo. One tap saves it to Contacts; export everything as vCard or CSV.

What it does

A card drawer that behaves.

Fields sorted right

Name, company, title, phones, email, website and address — each in its own field, not one blob of text.

Two-second fixes

Tap any field and correct it in place. No edit pages, no menus between you and the fix.

Straight to Contacts

One tap writes the card into your iPhone contacts with every field where it belongs.

vCard & CSV export

Export one card or the whole library. Every field you saved comes along — nothing held back.

On your iPhone

Recognition happens on the device and cards are stored in the app's own library. It works in airplane mode.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is it a subscription?

No. Cardessa is $9.99 once. The first 10 scans are free so you can judge the recognition on your own cards first.

Where do my cards live?

In the app's library on your iPhone, each with its original photo. Recognition happens on the device. You can export the whole library at any time.

What happens after the 10 free scans?

New scanning pauses until you unlock. Everything you already scanned stays fully open — view it, edit it, save it to Contacts, export it.

Can I move cards into my address book?

Yes. Save any card to iPhone Contacts with one tap, or export cards as vCard — the format Contacts imports directly. CSV is there for spreadsheets and CRMs.
