To add a social link:
- Tap Add Social Link below the existing fields.
- Select the platform from the picker.
- Enter your profile URL or username handle.
- The app validates the URL format and shows an error if it is invalid.
Saving
Tap Save in the top-right corner. The card goes live immediately and is accessible via its unique URL.
Editing an Existing Card
- From the home screen, tap the card you want to edit.
- Tap the Edit (pencil) icon.
- Make your changes in any field.
- The editor auto-saves a draft every 2 seconds. If you close the app or navigate away accidentally, your changes are preserved.
- Tap Save to publish the updated card. Changes are reflected immediately on the live URL.
Draft changes are indicated by a small "Draft" badge on the card thumbnail. Drafts are stored locally and synced to the server when you save.
Discarding Changes
If you want to undo all draft edits and revert to the published version, tap the three-dot menu in the editor and select Discard Draft.
AI Bio Generation
Available on Pro and Premium plans, the AI bio feature writes a short professional biography based on your card details.
How to Use
- In the card editor, scroll to the Bio field.
- Tap the AI sparkle icon next to the field label.
- Choose a style:
- Professional -- Formal, third-person tone suitable for corporate contexts. Example: "Jane Smith is a senior product manager with 12 years of experience in enterprise SaaS."
- Creative -- Conversational, first-person tone with personality. Example: "I design experiences that make people smile -- and occasionally gasp."
- Minimal -- One concise sentence. Example: "Product designer at Acme Co."
- Tap Generate. The AI produces a bio in 1-2 seconds.
- Review the text. You can edit it freely, regenerate with a different style, or clear it entirely.
The AI uses your name, title, company, and social links as context. It does not access any external data.

Card Preview
At any point during editing, tap the eye icon to open a full-screen preview modal. The preview shows:

Managing Multiple Cards
Card Limits by Plan
| Plan | Maximum Cards |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Pro | 5 |
| Premium | Unlimited |
Switching Between Cards
The home screen shows all your cards as a list. Tap any card to view its detail screen with sharing options. The card displayed on your main QR code screen is your default card. To change the default:
- Long-press a card on the home screen.
- Tap Set as Default.
Use Cases for Multiple Cards
- Separate cards for different roles (day job and freelance work).
- Cards in different languages for international contacts.
- Event-specific cards with tailored information.
Deleting a Card
- On the home screen, swipe left on the card you want to delete, or tap the card to open it and select Delete from the three-dot menu.
- A confirmation dialog appears: "Delete this card? This cannot be undone."
- Tap Delete to confirm.
Deleted cards are removed immediately. The card URL will return a 404 page. If you are on a Free plan with one card, deleting it returns you to the card creation flow.
Tips
- Use a high-quality headshot. A clear, well-lit photo increases the likelihood that someone will save your contact.
- Keep your bio under 200 characters. Shorter bios are read more often than longer ones.
- Review your card on both iOS and Android to ensure the template looks correct on different screen sizes.
- Update your card before events. Change your title or bio to match the context of the event you are attending.
