FAQ
What does Badgey actually do?
It turns your iPhone into a name badge. Add a photo, your name, your role and a link. Hang the phone upside down on a lanyard and the badge turns to face the people in front of you. Slip it into a chest pocket and it shrinks to a strip, so your name shows above the edge.
How does it know it's on a lanyard?
The motion sensors notice when your phone is upside down. The badge then turns the right way round and a lanyard drops in, in the colour you picked. This part doesn't use the camera.
And how does it know it's in my pocket?
When the phone turns upside down, or moves while it hangs, the front camera takes a short look: a few seconds at most. A model on your iPhone decides whether it sees the inside of a pocket. The frames are never stored and never leave your phone.
Can I stop the badge from swinging?
Yes. Turn Swing off above your badges and it hangs still. With Reduce Motion turned on in iOS, it doesn't swing either.
Can I have more than one badge?
Yes. Keep one for work, one for the conference you speak at and one for the meetup you help out at, then swipe between them and wear whichever fits the day.
How does the QR code work?
Add a link to your website, portfolio or profile. Tap the QR button and your badge flips over to a QR code that anyone can scan with their phone's camera.
Will my screen turn off while I wear it?
No. The screen stays awake while Badgey is open.
Do I need an account?
No. Your badges and photos are stored on your iPhone.
