Wallet – Digital Cards & IDs

What is Wallet – Digital Cards & IDs?

Wallet – Digital Cards & IDs, developed by Crady Apps, is a free Android utility that turns your smartphone into a personal vault for a variety of cards and documents. Instead of juggling a physical wallet, loyalty cards, passports or insurance cards, you can keep digital copies on your device and retrieve them whenever needed.

Main features

• Card and document storage – Add credit, debit, loyalty, ID, passport, insurance and gift‑card images in one place.
• Offline encryption – All data is saved locally and protected with AES‑256 encryption, so nothing is uploaded to a cloud server.
• Biometric lock – Secure the vault with your fingerprint or facial recognition.
• Built‑in scanner – Use the phone’s camera to capture cards quickly; the app extracts text with OCR for easier searching.
• Quick search and categorisation – Find a card in seconds and organise items into custom folders such as Travel, Payment or Identity.
• Backup & restore – Export an encrypted backup file and import it on a new device.

How it works

After installing the app, you create a personal PIN or enable biometric authentication. When you add a new card, you can either take a photo with the integrated scanner or import an existing image. The OCR engine reads the text on the card, allowing you to label the entry and add optional notes. All entries are stored in an encrypted database that lives only on your phone unless you choose to create a backup file.

Practical uses

• Travel – Keep passport, visa pages and boarding‑pass QR codes handy without digging through a bag.
• Everyday payments – View card numbers, expiration dates and CVV codes when you need them for online purchases.
• Loyalty programmes – Scan store cards and redeem points directly from the app.
• Health and insurance – Store health‑insurance cards, driver’s licences and other IDs for quick reference in emergencies.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone who prefers a paperless approach to personal documentation can benefit. The app is especially handy for frequent travellers, students who carry multiple IDs, and users who want to reduce the bulk of a traditional wallet.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not require an internet connection for core functions; however, an online connection is needed to download updates.
• All data remains on the device unless you manually export a backup file.
• Because the app stores sensitive information, it is recommended to enable a strong device lock and keep the operating system up to date.

Frequently asked questions

1. Is my data synced to the cloud? No. Wallet stores everything locally and only creates an optional encrypted backup file that you manage.
2. Can I share a card with someone else? The app does not include a sharing feature; you would need to export the image manually outside the app.
3. What happens if I lose my phone? Without the biometric lock or PIN, the encrypted database cannot be opened. Restoring a backup on a new device requires the same security credentials.
