Your meetup deserves
a real ticket.
Apple Wallet passes are locked behind Apple Developer accounts, signing certificates, and engineering teams most organizers don't have. Carte makes them one tap away — for the run club, the warehouse show, the rooftop dinner, the open mic.
The problem
Apple Wallet was built for airlines and stadiums.
If you're running a 40-person warehouse show, an indie meetup, or a community potluck, you don't have an engineering team and you shouldn't need one. Today, shipping a single Wallet pass requires:
$99 / year, business verification, weeks of back-and-forth.
X.509 chain, private keys, manual cert renewal every year.
ZIP layouts, SHA-1 manifests, PKCS#7 detached signatures, WWDR intermediates.
Semantic tags, preferredStyleSchemes, asset slot conventions Apple barely documents.
That's why Wallet passes still feel like a Delta thing or a Ticketmaster thing — and not a your-friend-throwing-a-show thing.
What Carte does
One studio. Real .pkpass. No certs, no code.
Designed, not generated
Hand-tuned typography and layout. Looks like something a brand designer made, not a template engine.
Real Apple Wallet
Cryptographically signed PassKit bundles. Tap to add. Lives next to your boarding passes — not a screenshot of a QR.
Built for organizers
Type the event, drop a flyer, share a link. Your guests add it to Wallet without ever seeing the word 'certificate.'
