Turn business cards into organized contacts.
Capture a card with your camera, review the OCR-assisted extraction, and keep every contact organized by the event where you met them — all stored locally on your device.
Business cards pile up. Contacts don’t organize themselves.
After a conference or a day of meetings, you end up with a stack of cards, a handful of half-remembered conversations, and no easy way to turn either into usable contacts. Typing every card by hand is slow, and once the event context is gone, it’s gone.

What CardBurner does today
Camera capture
Photograph a business card with your phone’s camera, with horizontal and vertical framing guides.
OCR-assisted extraction
On-device text recognition pulls out names, companies, titles, phone numbers, and email addresses for you to review.
Manual review and edit
Every field is editable before saving — you always confirm what gets stored.
Event-based organization
Group contacts under the event where you met them: a conference, a meeting, a trip.
Geographic context
Country, state/province, and city are recognized and attached to each contact.
Search
Find any contact quickly across names, companies, and locations.
CSV / XLSX export
Export your contacts, scoped to an event or a search, whenever you need them elsewhere.
Offline-first, local storage
Your data lives on your device. No account, no login required.
