What is Dyve Cards?

One sentence: it's a hosted profile plus an NFC chip that, when tapped, opens your profile on the other person's phone and lets them save your contact in two taps. No app required on their end.

The job to be done

You meet someone. You want them to have your contact info. The old options are bad: paper cards get thrown out, "just text me" means they fumble with the keyboard while you both stand there awkwardly, and emailing yourself their email later mostly never happens.

A Dyve card is the third option. You hand it to them, they tap it on their phone, your profile opens, they hit Save Contact, done. The whole interaction is about ten seconds.

What you actually buy

Two parts:

  • A hosted profile at cards.dyvetech.com/u/your-name. You pick the contact fields, theme, photo. Updating your profile updates what every card pointed at it shows. No reprinting.
  • One or more NFC chips with a permanent URL written to them. Tap any chip with a phone, your profile opens. The chip itself is dumb hardware. The smart part lives in our database, which you can change any time.

Why this matters for teams

The chip URL is permanent. The person it points at is not. When a teammate leaves and a new one starts, the new hire gets the old chip. Same physical card, new owner, new profile. No re-printing, no re-writing the chip, no dead links on the 500 paper business cards already in the wild.

That's why we built workspace support from day one: you mint a pool of cards, hand them out, reassign as people come and go. The cards become a durable asset instead of a recurring print order.

What you don't pay for

  • The first 3 people are free. Forever. Not a trial. Free covers you, a co-founder, and one more. Enough to actually try it without a meeting.
  • No per-recipient cost. Anyone with a phone can tap your card. The recipient never signs up for anything, never gets locked in, doesn't even know we exist unless they read the URL.
  • No app on the recipient's phone. Both iPhone and Android tap NFC chips natively. We just send a URL. The browser they already have opens it.
  • No annual contract for paid tiers. Monthly or annual, your call, cancel any time from the Stripe portal.

What we don't do (yet)

Branded printed cards are coming soon. Today you bring your own NFC chip (any NTAG215 will do, Amazon sells them for about a dollar each) and we give you the URL to write to it. Takes 20 seconds per chip with NFC Tools (the free app).

If you want our branded PVC cards as soon as they're available, sign up and we'll email you when they launch.

Try it free.

Up to 3 people forever. No card required to sign up.
