AirCard (Windows) 🎴
Apple Wallet Card Skinner & Lockscreen Passcode Themer for iOS 18+ (No Jailbreak Required)
Native Windows client written in Rust. Powered by the airlift AirTraffic sync exploit.
Features
- 🎨 Custom Card Skins: Assign custom artwork, textures, or bank logos to Apple Pay and Apple Cash cards.
- 🔢 Lock Screen Passcode Themes (.passthm): Apply custom keypad button artwork from popular Cowabunga & Nugget
.passthm themes directly to iOS lockscreen.
- ⚡ 100% Native & Lightweight: Single standalone
aircard.exe (~7.5 MB). No Python, no Flet, no webview, no bloated runtimes.
- 🪟 Material Design 3 Interface: Clean, modern dark theme built with
egui and eframe.
- 📱 Zero-Hassle Card Detection: Tap any card in your iPhone's Wallet app while connected to detect its hash in real-time via
syslog_relay.
- 📶 USB & WiFi Transport: Scan card events and apply Wallet or passcode assets through USB or a paired local WiFi connection.
- 🌐 English / Simplified Chinese UI: Switch the interface language from the top bar; the selection is saved locally for future launches.
- 🔄 Safe & Reversible: Complete Books state snapshot and automatic restore engine — preserves original device state and backs up the original Wallet card face before replacing it.
- 🚀 Zero Jailbreak: Utilizes Apple's built-in AirTraffic sync conduit without modifying system partitions or disabling security.
Requirements
- Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
- Apple Mobile Device Support / 64-bit iTunes (required for Apple device communication).
- A Lightning or USB-C cable for the initial trust/pairing setup.
- For WiFi mode, enable WiFi sync and keep the PC and iPhone on the same local network.
⚠️ Troubleshooting & Driver Repair (If Nothing Works)
[!TIP]
iPhone not detected, AirTraffic sync hangs, or operation fails?
Corrupted or conflicting Apple USB drivers on Windows are the #1 root cause.
- Download and install 3uTools.
- Disconnect your iPhone from your PC.
- In 3uTools, go to Toolbox ➔ Repair Driver.
- Click Repair Now and wait for the Apple driver reinstallation to finish.
- Reconnect your unlocked iPhone, tap Trust, and launch AirCard.
Installation
Pre-built Executable
- Download
aircard.exe from Releases.
- Connect your iPhone via USB, unlock it, and tap "Trust this Computer" if prompted.
- Run
aircard.exe. After WiFi sync is enabled, later sessions can work without the cable.
WiFi Connection Setup
- Connect the iPhone by USB for the initial pairing.
- In Apple Devices or iTunes, enable Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi / Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi.
- Apply the setting, then keep the iPhone and PC on the same local network.
- In AirCard, click Refresh and confirm the device shows a WiFi transport.
- Disconnect the cable, click Refresh again, and select WiFi only. Use Auto (USB preferred) when automatic fallback is desired.
If both transports are available, Auto uses USB first and falls back to WiFi. For a guaranteed end-to-end WiFi route, disconnect the USB cable, click Refresh, and then choose WiFi only. This is required because Apple's AirTraffic API selects its route by UDID rather than accepting a transport parameter.
How to Customize Apple Wallet Cards
- Connect your iPhone through USB or paired WiFi and ensure it is unlocked.
- In AirCard, stay on the Wallet tab and click Scan.
- On your iPhone:
- Open Apple Wallet (or double-click the Side/Power button).
- Tap the card you want to customize.
- AirCard intercepts and saves the card hash automatically. Click Stop.
- Click Choose Image... to pick your artwork (PNG, JPG, or WebP — drag inside the preview to position the crop, then scale it to
1536 × 969).
- Click Apply Card Skin.
- Force-close the Wallet app on your iPhone from the App Switcher (swipe up from bottom, then swipe Wallet away) and reopen Wallet to see your new card!
- The first apply stores a local backup of the original card face. Use Restore Original later to write it back and invalidate Wallet's cached artwork.
How to Apply Lockscreen Passcode Themes (.passthm)
- Switch to the Passcode tab in AirCard.
- Click Choose .passthm... and select any
.passthm package (Cowabunga or Nugget).
- Select your target iOS version cache:
- Auto (TelephonyUI-10) — iOS 18+ (Default)
- TelephonyUI-9 — iOS 16 - 17
- TelephonyUI-8 — Legacy iOS
- Click Apply Passcode Theme.
- Lock your iPhone screen or open Phone dialer to see your new custom passcode keypad buttons!
[!IMPORTANT]
Turn OFF Bold Text:
On your iPhone, go to Settings ➔ Display & Brightness and make sure Bold Text is turned OFF. If Bold Text is enabled, iOS ignores cached dialer button graphics and renders system vector fonts instead.
