About onlycards
The modern way to give.
A thoughtful card, straight from your phone. No shops. No unnecessary hassle. An envelope to open, a card to turn, and a message only you could send.
Our story
onlycards was born from a simple frustration. A wedding coming up, a birthday around the corner, and you still haven’t bought a card or taken cash out.
In a world where almost everything can be done from your phone, why should sending a thoughtful card mean another errand?
We combine the tradition of greeting cards with modern technology: choose a card, write your message and send an interactive envelope. Quick, convenient and still personal.
Our goal is a card and cash gift in about 60 seconds. That’s an ambition, not a timed promise — and real cash gifting is coming soon. For now, every cash amount is an unfunded preview.
What we do
onlycards makes digital greeting cards that feel like the real thing. You pick a design or make your own with photos or AI, write your message in your own handwriting style, and send a link. When it's opened, an envelope spins, flaps open and the card slides out — ready to be turned front to back like a card in the hand.
A little extra inside
Alongside your words you can tuck in an unfunded cash gift preview, add a 30-second clip of a real song from Apple Music, or record a voice message. The recipient can reveal the cash gift preview after reading — a surprise, not just a notification.
No account needed
Sending and opening shouldn't come with homework. You can build, seal and send a card as a guest, and the person receiving it just taps a link — no app to install, no sign-up to get through. An account is optional for sending and viewing. AI creation currently requires sign-in; future cash claims may require identity checks.
A lighter way to send
We want to make thoughtful messages feel special, even from far away. Digital delivery avoids printing and posting this card. It still has an environmental impact, and we do not claim a verified number of trees saved.
What we believe
The moment matters
A card isn't information, it's an occasion. The spin, the flap, the pop — the little theatre is what makes someone smile before they've read a word.
Personal beats polished
Your photos, your voice, your handwriting. The best card is one only you could have sent.
Made to be shared
WhatsApp, text, email or a plain link. Wherever the person is, the card reaches them in seconds — and stays long after a paper card would have been binned.
Honest about money
Gifts are clearly labelled, never buried, and while payments are still in preview nothing is charged. Real cash gifting requires a regulated payout partner before it can launch. No money is charged, held or redeemable now.
The short version
Your photos, your words, an envelope worth opening. Digital delivery avoids printing and postage; devices and hosting still use resources. Cash gifts remain unfunded previews until payments and regulated payouts are available.
