CardDrain

Local-first card ingestion for Mac

Drain the card. Keep the day moving.

Insert multiple cards. CardDrain starts draining them automatically, caches each one locally, and tells you by screen notification and text when it is ready for reuse. Pop in, grab an espresso, pop out.

A better handoff

One card. Three clean steps.

CardDrain separates the urgent part of the job from the part that can happen quietly in the background.

01 / INSERT

Load several cards

Put full cards into your readers. CardDrain notices them and starts draining automatically, with no queue management required.

02 / CACHE

Keep working

Each card lands on the Mac first. Once its contents are confirmed safe locally, the card can go straight back into circulation.

03 / NOTIFY

Get the all-clear

CardDrain spools the data remotely in the background, then sends a screen notification and text when a card is ready to reuse.

Made for work that leaves the office

Whenever removable media is the first mile.

CardDrain is for teams that collect valuable data in the field and need a dependable way to turn a full card into a reusable card without creating a transfer bottleneck.
