hub.cards

Snap a photo of a paper business card you picked up at a conference, and hub.cards turns it into a digital contact you can save and look up later.

That scanning step is one of several things the free service handles. hub.cards is a digital business card and contact management tool that lets you design your own card, digitize cards you receive, share yours with others, store everything in one spot, and sync it across devices.

The selling point is simple: keep the polish of a well-designed paper card while dropping the shoebox of cards in a desk drawer.

Because the design, scanning and storage tools sit in the same place, you do not need separate apps for making a card and for filing the ones you collect.

You can reach your contacts anytime and from anywhere, which matters if you meet people away from your desk.

Pricing is free, so trying hub.cards costs nothing but the time to set up your first card.

It fits freelancers, sales staff and anyone who still trades cards at events and wants them organized.
