Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact.
If you’ve ever found yourself striking up a conversation while out and about, you may end up wanting to quickly share your contact information with another person. While Apple does offer NameDrop, it lacks granularity, and isn’t always the most reliable. Passable brings contact sharing into neat looking Apple Wallet passes, and it offers tons of granularity.
While Passable is great for contact sharing, it doesn’t do just that. It also helps you share websites, social media, and other links. In Passable, you can customize the color and styling of your wallet pass, and create different ones for different social contexts. That feature is particularly useful if you have one contact you’d want to share at a business function (with your work email), and a different one at personal events.
You can also make cards for websites, if you’d like to share your portfolio for instance. It also supports special cards for the App Store and TestFlight, just in case you’re a fellow indie dev who wants an easier time sharing your app with others.
Passable wallet passes are also sharable, and when you update the pass in Passable, it’ll remotely update on everyones device that you shared it with. You can also remotely delete shared passes.
All in all, Passable makes sharing contacts and links in person incredibly seamless. It removes the guesswork, and brings everything into Apple Wallet so its easily findable and sharable.
Passable is available for free on the App Store on iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch. You’ll need iOS 18, macOS 15, and watchOS 11 or later. For free, you can make one wallet pass per category, while Passable Gold unlocks 10 passes per category and additional customization. That comes in at $2.99/month, $24.99/year, and $79.99 for lifetime.

Michael is 9to5Mac’s Weekend Editor, keeping up with all of the latest Apple news on Saturday and Sunday. He got started in the world of Apple news during the pandemic, and it became a growing hobby. He’s also an indie iOS developer in his free time, and has published numerous apps over the years.
Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output – this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.
Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
