What it does

Finds fakes in minutesProbes spread across the whole card show whether it holds less than it claims, and how much it really holds, without filling it first.
Full benchmarkSequential and random 4K reads and writes, with IOPS, a live speed chart and the pauses while writing.
The classes it really meetsC10, U1, U3, V30, V60, V90, A1, A2: see which markings the card lives up to, taking your card reader's limits into account.
Fake or faultyA fake card throws write errors too. Veracard keeps the two apart: a lying capacity is one thing, failing memory is another.
X-rayEverything the card and the reader report. Through the Mac's own SD slot, also the chip's maker, date and serial number.
Proof, byte by byteThe advanced test writes unique data to every free byte and reads it all back, so no hidden cache can fool the result.
CommunitySee which stores sold fakes to other buyers, and share your own result. Only the store, the place and the result, never anything about you.

Questions

Will it erase my files?

No. Veracard writes only to the card's free space and deletes its test files when it's done. If a card is too full to test, it asks before anything is erased, and it never formats a card unless you ask it to.

What can it check?

SD and microSD cards (with an adapter or a card reader), USB flash drives and external SSDs. The chip details in the X-ray need the Mac's own SD slot; with a USB reader you still get everything else.

How long does it take?

The quick check takes a few minutes on a good card. The optional advanced test reads and writes every free byte and can take hours on a big card. You can stop at any time and keep the best answer so far.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

App Store or directly from you: what's the difference?

Same app, same price. On the Mac App Store, Apple sells it, keeps your purchase in your Apple Account and updates the app. Bought from us, you pay through Paddle or with Pix in Brazil, get a licence key, activate the app with it (or with the email or CPF you paid with) on up to 5 Macs, and the app updates itself. Outside the App Store, Veracard can also format a card as exFAT for you.

Does it collect data about me?

No. There are no accounts, analytics or ads. Results stay on your Mac. Sharing with the Community is optional and never includes anything about you. See the privacy notice.
