Loyalty cards, tickets, vouchers, holdings and business cards — in one wallet that lives entirely on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Unlocked by Face ID.
Most apps stop at loyalty cards. Brightcard gives cards, tickets, vouchers, holdings and contacts a tab of their own, so everything you actually carry lives in one private place — and you can finally delete the other four apps.
Scan any card — QR, an NFC tag, or a barcode in Code 128, EAN-13/8, UPC-A, Code 39, ITF, PDF417 or Aztec. The exact symbology is preserved, so it scans first try at the register.
Concerts, matches, flights and trains — with the date and time it starts, the venue and your seat. One booking can hold a separate code per passenger, each marked used on its own.
Store codes with an expiry date and face value, and get a local reminder before they lapse. Used vouchers archive themselves, out of your way.
Track balances and history for anything you own — plus expense reports with an optional budget, that read the amount, merchant, date and category straight off a receipt photo or PDF, on your device.
Keep a persona for each side of you — work, freelance, social — and share the right one by QR or vCard, or drop it straight into Contacts. No app required on the other end.
Show the cards, tickets and vouchers you choose on your wrist — synced from your iPhone, never the cloud.
Flag a card or see the ones near you — without a code ever leaving the lock.
Save cards from physical NFC tags — rare in a private, no-account wallet.
Send a card, group, or whole wallet to someone — encrypted, unlocked by a code you share out loud.
No password to leak. Access is a Secure Enclave passkey behind Face ID.
Keep personal, work and family cards in separate wallets, each a tap away.
Pin what you use most, group the rest, and find any item in a couple of keystrokes.
English, Türkçe, Nederlands and Español — switch any time, no relaunch needed.
There’s no sign-up and no Brightcard backend. The app makes no network requests to us — there’s nothing to phone home to.
Many wallets quietly send your card details to a server to generate a signed pass. Brightcard draws every barcode and QR on your iPhone — so your cards never take a trip to the cloud.
Access is a Secure Enclave passkey behind Face ID / Touch ID. The key never leaves your device and isn’t known to us. No password to store or steal.
Backups and person-to-person transfers are AES-256 encrypted with a key only you hold. Share the file however you like; the code travels separately.
No analytics, no advertising identifier, no third-party trackers. The App Store privacy label says it plainly: nothing is collected.
Everything lives in the app on your device. Delete an item, or the app, and it’s gone. We hold nothing, so there’s nothing of yours for us to lose.
A fair look at where a private, on-device wallet lands next to the typical loyalty app and the wallet already on your phone.

No subscription, ever. Pay one time and Pro is yours forever, on all your devices. Free limits only ever block adding — nothing you already saved is hidden or taken away.
Everything in Free, plus:
Yes. There’s no Brightcard account and no server — the app makes no network requests to us. Your cards, balances and receipts live in the app on your iPhone and leave only when you explicitly share or export something.
Because everything is on-device, keep an encrypted backup. Brightcard can export a backup file only your key can open, and your key is safely held in your iCloud Keychain so your own Apple devices can restore it.
Yes — a Secure Transfer packages a card, group or whole wallet into an encrypted file plus a short code you share separately. It works across different Apple Accounts, with no server in between.
Yes. Brightcard Pro is a single $4.99 purchase — no subscription. Owning it unlocks Pro on every device signed in to your Apple Account.
No. Receipt reading uses Apple’s on-device Vision framework. The image and the text it extracts never leave your iPhone.
Yes — Tickets are their own section, because a ticket isn’t a voucher: it happens at a date and time, at a venue, in a seat. One booking can hold a code per passenger or leg, each marked used on its own, and the whole ticket archives only once every code has been used.
Free covers 12 items across 2 wallets. Reaching the cap only stops you adding a new item — everything already in your wallet stays visible and fully usable. The same is true if you ever restore a backup that’s larger than the free tier.
Bring everything you carry into one private place — and keep it there.
