Read the studySorry card questions
What is a digital sorry card?
It's an apology card that arrives as a link instead of in the mail. Apologify turns what you want to say into a card-style page with its own design. When they tap the link, they see their name under your seal; one tap opens your apology.
Is it free?
Yes. Writing your apology and previewing every card design is free, with no signup. You sign in with Google only when you publish, so you can find and edit your card later.
How do I send it?
After you publish, you get a ready-to-send message for WhatsApp, Telegram, text message or your own email, plus a copy-link button. You can also post a teaser image to your story.
Can I give it as a real card?
Yes. Every card comes with a QR code you can print and tuck inside a paper card, a note or a bunch of flowers. Scanning it opens your card.
Will I know if they opened it?
Yes. Your dashboard shows whether the card has been opened, and if they answer “I forgive you” or “I need some time.” You can also get an email when it happens.
Is an “I'm sorry” card the same as an apology card?
Yes, people search for both. An I'm sorry card tends to be personal (a partner, a friend, family); an apology card can be more formal (a coworker, a boss, a client). Apologify does both: pick a tone when you write it and a design that fits.
What should I write in a sorry card?
Be specific. In our study of 845 real apologies, 38.4% were about words — something hurtful, a lost temper, disrespect — yet many people couldn't name what they'd done. Say exactly what happened, how it affected them, and one thing you'll do differently. Apologify helps you write it.
Say sorry the way you mean it.
It takes about two minutes. They'll remember it longer.
