Batch mode for a stack of cards
Keep the camera open and swap cards through the frame. Batch mode tracks your session pace in cards per minute.
First-touch mini CRM for Android
From the first handshake to a reviewed next action.
Scan business cards one at a time or in a batch, and export them to an Excel-ready CSV or vCard. Folocard then prepares a follow-up draft with on-device AI, and you send it from your own email or messaging app.

How it works
Five steps from a handshake to a follow-up
Each step adds evidence to one thread. You review the result before anything leaves your phone.
- Evidence collection
Capture
Capture first-touch evidence at the speed of the interaction. Scan a physical business card, one at a time or in fast batch mode, import a vCard, record a voice memo, or type a short field note.
- On-device camera capture with real-time frame sharpness analysis.
- Google ML Kit OCR processes text locally on your device.
- Batch mode keeps the camera active to scan stacks with session cards-per-minute pacing.
- Relational grounding
Context
A business card by itself is incomplete. The value lies in the interaction: where you met, what you discussed, and what you agreed to do next.
- Bounded calendar event lookups with explicit user-granted time windows.
- Interaction tags for conferences, investor meetings, customer visits, and cafes.
- Preserves original user observations without overwriting evidence.
- Iterative investigation
Sourced dossier
Folocard builds a cumulative, sourced dossier on the person and organization with local AI reasoning and private device storage.
- Optional public-web research sends targeted queries and fetches public URLs.
- Verified facts stay separate from unconfirmed claims and recorded unknowns.
- Reasoning and the resulting Markdown dossier stay in private local storage.
- Human in the loop
Reviewed draft
Folocard prepares a first follow-up from the dossier and your notes. When no local model is available, drafting stays pending. It never substitutes a canned template.
- Drafts run on a local language model on your device hardware.
- Thumb-first review: accept, tweak, or reject prepared suggestions quickly.
- No silent sending: the draft opens in your chosen email or messaging app.
- First-touch CRM state
Next action
Each first touch becomes a durable thread: the contact, the organization, the history, and the next commitment.
- Structured objects: Contact, Organization, FirstTouchThread, NextAction.
- User-directed handoff to your calendar and system contacts.
- CSV and vCard export for spreadsheets, CRM import, and address books.

Built for conference floors, site visits and coffee meetings
Folocard focuses on the minutes after you meet someone, when the context is fresh and the follow-up is easiest to get right.
Side-by-side review
Check each extracted field next to the crop of the original card, and correct it in place.
Review queue
Contacts that need a second look wait in one queue before you export or share them.
Capture statistics
See session velocity, cards per minute and capture statistics for each event.
Your model, on your phone
Download a compatible language model inside the app. Inference speed depends on your device hardware.
Export without lock-in
Export the whole directory as CSV for Excel or Google Sheets, or share one contact as a standard vCard.
Scanning works offline
Card scanning, OCR and contact field extraction work without an internet connection.
Rules first, AI second, your attention last
Fast deterministic rules and on-device OCR resolve regular fields first. Local models handle noise and ambiguity. Your attention is kept for intent, voice and the final decision.

Honest privacy boundaries
What stays on your phone, and what does not
We disclose real system behavior instead of broad marketing claims.
Stays on your device
- AI inference and dossiers
- Drafting and research reasoning run on your phone. Dossiers are stored in private local storage.
- Contacts and card images
- No Folocard account or cloud login. Your contacts live in the app sandbox on your device.
- Card scanning and OCR
- Scanning and contact field extraction work without an internet connection.
- No ads, no brokers
- No advertising, no third-party data brokers, and no cloud training uploads.
Leaves your device, and when
- Public-web research, if you turn it on
- Search queries and requested page URLs go to search providers (such as Brave Search) and to the destination websites.
- Model downloads, when you pick a model
- Your device connects directly to Hugging Face, which receives ordinary network data and the requested file name.
- Google ML Kit diagnostics
- OCR runs locally. The ML Kit SDK separately sends technical performance and diagnostic metrics to Google over HTTPS.
- Reports you choose to send
- An AI response report goes to DataXad through FormSubmit only after you confirm. DataXad keeps it for up to 30 days.
When you hand off a draft, your chosen email or messaging app sends it through its own account. Opening an app does not prove delivery. Full details are in the privacy policy.
