An iPhone app by Aleksei Bukhalov
Card Notebook
Scan a business card, get a contact in two seconds.
No longer on sale. See Availability.
What it does
Single capture
Point the camera at a card. Name, title, company, email, phone, and website extracted on-device using Apple Intelligence.
Batch mode
Rip through 30 cards in under a minute. Review and fix the whole stack in one screen back at the table.
Tag by event
"DevCon 2026", "Recruiting Fair NYC". Search later by event, company, or anyone you wrote a note next to.
Export where you need
Native Contacts in one tap. vCard files for email or AirDrop. CSV with custom column order for Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or a spreadsheet.
Photo of the card kept
The original image stays alongside the extracted data, so you can re-read what you wrote on the back.
On your phone, never on a server
No account. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Pay once. Yours forever.
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
Why this one
- Pay once. No tier, no upsell, no monthly fee waiting for you next April.
- Your data stays on your phone. No server, no analytics SDK, no shared cloud.
- 100% on-device extraction via Apple Intelligence. Works in airplane mode. No fallback to the cloud — there's no cloud at all.
- No account to create. Open the app, start scanning.
What this is not
Not a CRM — it feeds your CRM, it doesn't replace it. Not a digital business card sharer — use Apple Wallet or NameDrop for that. Not free-with-ads — the price you see is the price.
