Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Tom Hayes scans Ruth’s card, saves Ruth to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Ruth to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A client meant to book after the first session, then could not find your number. With Cardr they save you in one scan, with your booking link and availability, and can send their name and number back. GPs and colleagues who refer save the same card. Nothing goes to a client unless you send it.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
The end of the first session, and the week after.
The first session
- The way home
- Availability
- Nothing automated
The client leaves meaning to book again. By Thursday, your number is somewhere in a pile of paper.
- The way home. Many clients decide to book again after they leave, when your number is hardest to find.
- Availability. Whether you have space changes week to week, and a printed card or old listing cannot keep up.
- Nothing automated. No sequences and no timed chasing. A message to a client is one you chose to send.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

- Edit once, it updates
- Integrative, EMDR · Two openings
- One scan, no app
- Opens with no signal
Many clients decide to continue on the way home, not in the room. If booking means finding a card or searching a directory again, some never do it.
A saved contact puts your booking link one tap away, and your page says whether you have evening or online space. Edit your availability once, and every saved contact links to the current version.
Referrals still matter. A GP or colleague who cannot take someone passes them to whoever they remember, so the same card works at a CPD day. Without a record, it is easy to misremember who refers; a note on each name keeps it.
Nothing for them to download.
Tap through what Tom sees when he scans your card.

ProTime to follow up with Tom HayesFollow-up drafted
- The next session, one tap away. Your booking link is on the card, so a client books without searching for you.
- Availability that is current. Evening space, online only or a waiting list: edit once and your page shows it.
- Book a time under Save, on Pro. Pinned on your page, with up to six services and a “from” price.
- Nothing sent on your behalf. Cardr drafts and reminds you. No sequences; the one optional thank-you stays off until you turn it on.
- Referrers remembered too. GPs and colleagues save the same card, and a note shows who actually refers.
- Registration on the card. Your membership and registration number fit, and can be corrected when they change.
The card is free. Pro does the follow-up.
Everything in the first column stays free, with no expiry and no limit on exchanges or contacts. Pro adds what happens after the meeting.

Therapists, answered.
Is it appropriate to give to clients?
That is your clinical judgement and your professional body’s guidance, such as BACP or UKCP. The card carries what a printed one would: your name, registration, availability and booking link. Nothing in it messages anyone for you unless you switch on the optional thank-you.
Can clients book from it?
Yes. A booking link is free on every plan, one tap from your card. On Pro you can pin Book a time right under Save, with up to six services and a “from” price.
Is this a client management system?
No, and it must not be used as one. It holds a contact and a short note. Nothing clinical or session-related belongs in it. Every plan exports to CSV or vCard.
Does it replace my directory listing?
No. Counselling Directory, BACP and Psychology Today are where new clients search, so stay on them. Cardr is for people you have already met: clients deciding whether to book again, and colleagues who refer.
Does a client need an app?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Nobody downloads an app or creates an account.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds a pinned Book a time button, drafted messages, reminders and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
