- You need Android.
Moving your cards from Covve Scan
-
Let it finish syncing
Covve notes that logging out clears contacts from the phone, so wait for the sync before you sign out.
-
Export everything
Menu › Export, choose CSV. There is no bulk vCard export.
-
Import into Kardhaus
In Kardhaus, choose Import and pick the file. vCard is read directly; for CSV you confirm the column mapping before anything is saved, and you see how many cards were imported.
