Digital business card, for iPhone.
Create your card in minutes, keep it in Apple Wallet, and share it from the lock screen to any phone.
To make a digital business card on iPhone, download ConnectMachine from the App Store, add your details, photo, and links, and share by QR code, link, or Apple Wallet pass. It takes a few minutes, the free plan covers it, and the person you meet needs no app to save your contact details.
The iPhone is where most digital business cards get made and shared, and the searches show it: how to create one on iPhone, how to send one on iPhone, where they are even stored. The answers are simpler than the number of questions suggests, because the card lives in the places your iPhone already puts first.
This page covers the whole iPhone story: creating the card, keeping it in Apple Wallet and on your lock screen, what happens when the person you meet is on Android, and what your iPhone's built-in sharing can and cannot do on its own.
Made in minutes, on the phone in your hand
Download ConnectMachine from the App Store, add your name, title, photo, and links, and your card exists. The free plan covers up to 4 cards, so you can keep a work card and a personal one, and there is no payment step between you and a shareable card. If you want to try the flow before installing anything, the free web builder creates a card in the browser with no account at all.
Apple Wallet, your lock screen, and widgets
The fastest card is the one you never have to find. Add your card to Apple Wallet and it sits beside your boarding passes, ready from the lock screen in a swipe. Widgets put your QR a glance away, and the code on your lock screen means you can share while the phone is still locked. The moment of meeting someone is short; this is what makes you faster than someone reaching for paper.
Where your card actually lives on an iPhone
People ask where digital business cards are stored on iPhone, and the answer is: in more than one place, on purpose. The card itself lives in the ConnectMachine app, where you edit it. A copy travels as a pass in Apple Wallet. Your QR code can sit on the lock screen or in a widget. And the card's public page lives at a link that works in any browser. Edit once in the app, and every one of those surfaces updates, because they all point at the same live card.
Sharing with people who are not on iPhone
Half the people you meet carry Android phones, and your card does not care. A QR scan or a link opens your card in their browser, they tap once, and your details are in their contacts. No app on their side, no account, nothing to explain. The exchange works phone-to-phone, phone-to-laptop, and even from your screen to a paper printout of your QR.
What iPhone's built-in sharing covers, and what it does not
iPhones can already share contact details between two iPhones held close together, and contact posters make the incoming call screen look polished. Those built-ins are genuinely good at what they do, and for iPhone-to-iPhone basics they may be all you need. What they do not give you is a card: a page with your links and branding that works on any device, a QR for print and email, a record of who you exchanged with, and notes that help you remember why the person mattered. That after-the-exchange layer is what a card app adds on top of what Apple ships.
Capture the other half of the exchange
Sharing your card is the easy half. When someone hands you a paper card, scan it with the AI scanner and it becomes a clean contact instead of a photo in your camera roll. A ShareBack form collects their details as you share yours. Add a note or a voice memo while the conversation is fresh, and later ask the AI Concierge who you met at last month's event; it answers from your own network.
Who it is for
- iPhone users who want their card ready from the lock screen

The bottom line.
An iPhone is already the best card holder you own: Apple Wallet keeps the card a swipe away, widgets keep the QR in view, and the browser link covers everyone you meet who is not on an iPhone. ConnectMachine ties those surfaces to one live card and adds the part no built-in feature covers, which is remembering the people on the other side of the exchange.
