NFC card · Android app

CapTap: your business card in one tap, now on Android

CapTap links an NFC business card (contactless, like a bank card) to an elegant web profile you can edit whenever you like. Hold the card near a phone and your page opens, with no app to install for the other person. The Android app makes all of this even faster.

What CapTap does

  • An elegant public profile: photo, title, organization, contact details, links and an "Add to contacts" button.
  • A physical NFC card, mailed to you and already linked to your account: nothing to set up.
  • Always up to date: new job or new number? Edit your page; the card always opens the latest version.
  • A personal QR code for every account, free ones included, for phones without NFC and printed documents.
  • An accessible mode with maximum contrast, free, for colour blindness and low vision.

What the Android app adds

  • Instant opening: hold a CapTap card near the phone, even with the app closed, and the page opens full screen, with no browser to choose.
  • "Read a card" screen: the phone looks for CapTap cards only. No system sound or pop-up, no mix-up with a contactless payment, and a vibration confirms the read.
  • Reliable reading: a card opens only one page at a time, even if it stays near the phone, and cards programmed with other tools are recognized.
  • Premium through Google Play: subscribe in seconds, paid and managed in your Google account, cancel any time.
  • Shortcuts: long-press the icon to "Read a card" or open your subscription.
  • Always current: the app shows cap-tap.com, so every improvement to the service appears in it right away.

Free and Premium

The free account includes the public profile, the QR code and the accessible mode. Premium ($6 a month, plus applicable taxes) adds:

  • up to 20 links, harmonized colour schemes and 8 professional fonts;
  • your page in Google search results;
  • your own web address (for example www.myorganization.ca);
  • for organizations: group your employees and manage their accounts and cards. One subscription, the administrator's, covers the whole team.

Premium is purchased in the Android app, through Google Play. The physical NFC card is ordered separately, on cap-tap.com.

For organizations and professionals

CapTap was designed in Montréal for nonprofits, businesses and freelancers who want a polished image without reprinting cards at every change. One card lasts a whole career, and the organization stays in control of its team's accounts.

Your privacy

  • You choose what appears on your public page; nothing else is ever shown.
  • No ads, no advertising ID, no sale of data.
  • Visit statistics for your page are anonymous: no IP address, no cookie.
  • Reading a card happens on the phone: the app only opens the address stored on the card.
  • You can delete your account yourself, at any time.

Details are in the CapTap privacy policy and the terms of use.
