Every new relationship starts somewhere.

A card is a commodity, and that is exactly why the bondai digital business card is free. The scan is not the product. It is the first minute of a relationship bondai then helps you grow.

You meet someone at a thing. You like them. You swap details, and the details go where details go: a photo of a paper card in your camera roll, a LinkedIn request with no note, a number saved under a first name and the name of the event.

Six weeks later there is a reason to get in touch, and you cannot remember which Sarah she was.

Nobody decides to let a new relationship go cold. It happens in the gap between meaning to reach out and knowing what to say. Most of the time the gap opens in the first minute, because nothing was captured except a name.

Meet. Scan. Connect.

Your bondai digital business card is a QR code on the phone already in your hand. One scan and they have your details, your photo and your links, and they can save you in a tap. No app on their side, no paper, no spelling your email into someone else's phone while they hold it out at you.

It is free. Free, always, with no trial and no payment details, with unlimited contacts and your data downloadable any time. We are not going to pretend the card itself is special. A card is a commodity. Plenty of good ones exist and some of them are excellent. That is exactly why ours is free: the card is the door, not the house.

What happens after the scan

Here is the difference, and it starts the moment the scan lands. bondai captures the connection and starts building the context that makes every conversation after it better. Who they are, where they work, what is happening in their world. Speak a note on the way out, the daughter about to start school, the transformation program they are about to kick off, and it is filed under the right person with nothing to type.

Then it keeps working while you are not looking. Before you see them again, the brief is waiting. When there is a reason to reach out, a job change, an article they would care about, a promise you made, bondai surfaces it and drafts the message in your own tone of voice. You read it, change what you want, and press send. bondai never sends anything for you.

You make the connection. bondai helps you grow it.

The relationships you already have

The card is for the people you have not met yet. Most of your relationships are not new. They are in your phone, your inbox and a spreadsheet from a job you left, and the same thing happens to them, only slower.

So bring them with you. Import your contacts and bondai builds the context: who they are, where they work, what has changed. No new network to build, no starting from scratch. The card starts the new relationships. The import brings the old ones back to life. Both end up in the same place, with the same brief waiting before you meet.

Start with the card

If you want to see what bondai does before you pay for anything, the card is the way in. It takes about a minute to set up. Share it a few times and watch what bondai already knows about the people who scanned it. Then turn the connection into a relationship that counts. Get the free card.

Common questions

Is the bondai digital business card really free?

Yes. Free, always, with no trial and no payment details. It comes with a QR code, a public profile people can save in a tap, unlimited contacts, and your data downloadable any time. If you later try Pro and stop, you keep the card and your contacts.

Does the other person need the app?

No. They point their camera at your QR code, your card opens, and they save you in a tap. If they do have bondai, the connection lands in their contacts with the context already building.

What is the difference between the card and bondai Pro?

The card is where a relationship starts. Pro is everything after: a brief before you meet, notes and reminders after, a reason to reach out when there is one, and a message drafted in your own words. Pro is the full app and the web platform, 14 days free, then A$12.99 a month. Cancel anytime.

What happens to the people who scan the card?

bondai captures the connection and starts building the context: who they are, where they work, what is happening in their world. Speak a note afterwards and it files under the right person. Nothing to type.
