CardVault: Card Manager is a privacy-focused card and ID organizer that stores credit cards, loyalty and gift cards, IDs and transport passes securely on your device. The app keeps everything offline and encrypted with AES-256 SQLCipher, so your sensitive information never moves to the cloud — a good choice for anyone who prefers local control over their data. It combines camera OCR scanning, barcode/QR capture, MRZ ID scanning, encrypted backups and biometric unlock to replace a physical wallet while keeping documents accessible, organized and protected without requiring an account or constant internet access.
Key Features

⭐ Built-in card scanner with camera OCR, gallery import and barcode/QR scanning for loyalty and membership cards.
⭐ ID scanner supports passport and ID MRZ capture and provides expiry reminders so you won’t miss renewals.
