Local-first card wallet

Keep cards ready, stay in control, opt into sync only when it helps.

qardo keeps loyalty cards, passes, and barcodes close at hand without making cloud account setup the price of entry. Start in local-only mode today, or step into synced beta features when you want them.

Why it feels different

Built for the messy middle between paper cards and account-heavy wallet apps.

The job is simple. Pull up the right code fast, keep notes close, and avoid turning every barcode into another cloud migration project.

Start without ceremony.

Open the app, keep cards on this device, and move on with your day. No forced account wall just to save your first barcode.

Stay privacy-leaning by default.

Local-only mode keeps production honest. You decide when a synced account is worth the trade instead of getting pushed there immediately.

Use beta when you need more.

Synced accounts, recovery tooling, and faster iteration are live in beta with clear warning chrome so nobody mistakes it for the calm lane.

Choose your lane

Enter through production for local-first use, or through beta for synced previews.

Same product family, different promises. Production favors calm and device-local use. Beta favors early access and explicit instability warnings.

Production app

Local-only

Best if you want a simple card wallet today. Keep cards on this browser or device while the cloud rollout stays behind beta.

No account required to get started
Good fit for private, single-device use
Cloud sync messaging stays honest about what is not live yet

Open production app

Beta app

beta.qardo.app

Unstable

Best if you want synced accounts and do not mind the sharper edges. The beta banner stays visible so expectations stay real.

Account sign-in stays enabled here first
Closed-beta controls can stay in place while rollout is small
Faster product iteration, rougher surface

Proof points

Privacy-first posture, open code, realistic rollout.

Open source posture.

qardo ships in the open, so hosted rollout decisions and self-hosting paths can stay visible instead of disappearing into a black box.

Hosted and self-hosted paths.

Use the hosted Cloudflare + Render + Neon path, or self-host the stack if you want full control over where data lives.

Deliberate rollout.

Production is not pretending to do cloud sync before it is ready. Beta is where those features can mature without confusing everyone else.
