Cardly — the digital business card. A handshake shouldn’t cost a tree.

Everything after hello

Meet someone. Share in a second. Never lose them.

Paper cards end up in a drawer. Cardly keeps every introduction alive — shared, saved, noted and followed up.

Share

One card, every way to hand it over

A QR on your screen, a link in a message, a tap of the phone, or a pass in Apple and Google Wallet. It opens in any browser — they don’t need Cardly to read it.

Scan

Photograph a paper card. AI does the typing.

Point the camera at a printed card and Cardly reads the name, title, company, email and phone for you. Scan someone’s Cardly QR and their card is saved whole.

Remember

Reminders that bring the follow-up back

Follow up with John on Friday, at the coffee shop, #client, urgent. Every reminder is tied to the person, so nobody you meet goes cold.

Notes

Notes on the people you meet

Where you met, what you talked about, what to send. Folders and #tags keep a conference’s worth of contacts findable months later.

Design

Your colours, your finish, your logo

Pick colours, patterns and finishes, place your logo and choose a layout. As many cards as you wear hats — personal, company, side project.

Teams

A company look on every card

Create your company, invite people by email, and everyone gets a card in your brand. One bill that follows your headcount.

After the handshake

The follow-up is where deals happen.

A note on who they are and where you met. A reminder with a date, a place and a tag. Cardly brings it back when it matters — not when you happen to find the card again.

Reminders by today, upcoming and done, with urgent ones flagged
Notes in folders, searchable by #tag, company or event
Every note and reminder attached to the person it’s about

Cardly notes: a folder for John Doe and a note about meeting him at Web Summit

Cardly reminders: an urgent follow-up with John Doe at a coffee shop, tagged #client

Cardly connections: cards collected by QR code and by photographing paper cards, ready to send to HubSpot

Cardly reach: page opens, saves and post readers for each of your cards

Everyone you meet, in one place

Collect cards. See where yours went.

Scan a Cardly code or photograph a paper card — every contact lands in Connections, searchable and one tap from HubSpot. Reach shows how many people opened, saved and read each of your cards, and how many paper cards you didn’t print.

Paper cards read by AI from a single photo

Opens, saves and readers for every card you hand out

One link for everything

Your card is also your page. Drop the Linktree.

Every card opens a page that’s yours — for your bio, your email signature and your QR code. It shows who you are and what to do next.

Profile photo & banner: Your face and your colours, the moment the link opens.
One button that matters: “Book a call”, “See the menu”, “Download the deck” — next to your photo.
Posts: Links, notes and videos under your card. Pin the three that matter.
Carousel: Up to five pictures that each say something and go somewhere.
All your links: LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube and twelve more, as icons.

How it works

Three steps, then you stop thinking about it.

Make your card

Name, role, company, the ways to reach you. Choose a colour and a finish. About a minute, once.
Hand it over

QR, link, NFC or Wallet. It opens in whatever browser they have — no app, no account.
Follow up

Scan their card back, add a note and a reminder. Change jobs and every card you shared updates itself.

Why we built it

New connections don’t need new paper.

Ten billion paper business cards are printed every year, and most are thrown away within a week. Every card Cardly replaces is one that is never printed, never reprinted when your title changes, and never thrown away. Good for business, better for the world.

Per 1,000 people, per year

Paper cards printed per person: 200
Cards not printed: 200,000
Sheets of card stock saved: ~20,000
Trees not felled: ~2.4

Ten cards to a sheet, 8,333 sheets to a tree. Round numbers, shown so you can check them.

On the web too

Your desk, your card, the same account.

Edit your cards, write posts, run your company and see your reach from any browser. It is the same Cardly as on your phone — change something in one and the other already shows it.

Questions

Digital business cards, answered.

Do the people I meet need the Cardly app?

No. Your card opens in any phone’s browser from a QR code, a link or an NFC tap. They can save you to their contacts with one tap, or keep the whole card in Cardly if they have it.

Can Cardly replace my Linktree?

Yes. Every card has its own public page with your photo, banner, a call-to-action button, your social links, posts and an image carousel — one link for your bio, your email signature and your QR code.

Can I scan paper business cards?

Yes. Photograph a printed card and Cardly reads the name, title, company, email and phone for you, then saves them as a contact you can add notes and reminders to.

Does it work with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?

Yes. Add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and show its QR code from the lock screen, even without opening the app.

How is a digital business card better for the planet?

Around ten billion paper business cards are printed every year and most are thrown away within a week. A Cardly card is never printed, never reprinted when your title changes, and never thrown away.

How much does Cardly cost?

One card is free forever, with sharing, scanning, notes and reminders. Pro is $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year for unlimited cards, your logo, finishes, posts and the full public page.
