A tap or a scan, a page, a saved contact.
No app on either side. Here’s what happens on iPhone and Android, what goes into the saved contact, and how people share their details back.
Every way to share opens the same page
Your card lives at one address, nobrand.cards/c/your-name. Whichever way someone reaches it, they land on the same page, and your stats show which way they came.
Tap (NFC)
An NFC card, sticker or tag holds your page’s address. Touch it to a phone and the page opens in the browser.
Scan (QR)
Any phone camera reads your QR code: on the back of your card, on the app’s share screen, on a sign or a slide.
Link
Send your link by text or email, put it in your email signature or your social profiles, or embed your card on your website with one line.
NFC on iPhone and Android
Phones read NFC without an app. The chip has no battery; the phone powers it for the moment it takes to read the address.
iPhone
iPhone XS and newer read NFC on their own. With the screen on, hold the card near the top edge of the back of the phone, by the camera. A banner appears; tap it to open the page. On iPhone 7, 8 and X, open Control Center and tap NFC Tag Reader first. An iPhone doesn’t read tags while the camera, Wallet or Apple Pay is open.
Android
NFC needs to be on (most phones ship with it on; search Settings for “NFC”). Unlock the phone and hold the card flat against the middle of the back. The page opens in the browser. Many phones don’t read NFC while the camera is open.
If a tap doesn’t work
Move the card slowly around the antenna and hold it for a second. Thick or metal cases can block the signal, and so do RFID-blocking wallets. The QR code always works as a backup.
One tap to save you
The big Save contact button gives the phone a standard contact file (vCard 3.0), the format iPhone and Android read best.
- On iPhone it opens in the Contacts preview: they tap Create New Contact and you’re saved, photo and all.
- On Android the file downloads and opens in the Contacts app.
- It holds only the details you switched on, your photo and your card’s address, so they can find your page again.
- Nothing about us: no vendor note, no link, no app.
They can send you their details too
A short “Share your info” form on your card collects a name, an email or phone number, and optionally company, title and a note, under a consent line you can edit.
- They get an email with your details and your contact file, from your name, with replies going to you. It carries no branding.
- You get the contact in your contact book, with where and when you met, and an email alert. Pro adds instant push alerts.
- “Add where we met” can save the place, but only if they choose it and their browser asks them first.
- On Pro, add your own questions and dropdowns, have the form open by itself (Quick Capture), or ask for it before your contact downloads, with “skip” still there unless you turn it off.
Physical cards that never stop working
A NoBrandCards card or tag has its own short code. You claim it in the app and point it at whichever of your cards you like, and change that any time without reprogramming anything.
- It keeps opening your page on every plan, free included.
- Lose one? Turn it off in the app; it shows a plain “not available” page until you turn it back on.
- The chip and the QR code printed on the same card open the same page, and your stats tell taps from scans.
- Have your own NFC stickers? Write
https://nobrand.cards/c/your-name?s=nfcto them with any NFC writing app.
