EssCard is a digital business card that lives on your phone. Open it, show the QR code, and the other person can save your details in one scan. No paper, no app for them to install, and no account for you.
After the conversation, log who you met, where, when and a note, and set a follow-up date. EssCard reminds you on the day.
