This tool simplifies smartcard workflows for security professionals and developers who need constant access to card data.
Key Features:
  • Menu bar utility for instant access
  • Smartcard status and certificate viewer
  • Support for multiple card readers
  • Lightweight and native to macOS
Use Cases:
