how it works
The handwritten note plus the part you would only say out loud: toast, song, inside joke, all of it.
Add a short voice note while you are writing the inside message.
The QR points to the card's private voice page and is included in the print layout.
The card becomes more than paper without making you ship a gift box.
what to record
Happy birthday, slightly off-key, exactly how they love it.
The speech you would make if everyone were in the room.
A year older and still cannot parallel park.
The 'I love you' that is easier said than written.
Pass the phone so the whole group leaves a line.
Grandkids yelling happy birthday, saved forever.

good to know
On a printed card they point their phone camera at the QR on the back; on a digital card they tap play. Either way it opens a page that plays your recording.
No. Any modern phone camera reads the QR and opens the voice page in the browser. No app, no account, no login.
Up to 60 seconds. Plenty for a song, a toast, a roast, or a quick heartfelt message.
Yes. While you are making the card you can record as many takes as you want before you order.
The QR points to a unique link for that card that isn't listed anywhere public, so only someone with the card can open it.
Yes. On a digital card the voice note plays inline on the card page with a tap, no scanning needed.
