EasyCardFile has been rewritten and can be found at Apple's App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/easycardfile/id6745975267

_________________________________

The new version cannot directly read the legacy database.

It can import text that is column delimited by ASCII character 3 and line delimited by ASCII character 4.

An importable text file of name, category, plain text notes, and created date can be exported from the legacy app using its File menu's Report Editor.

In the legacy app select the Report Editor from the File menu.  Add the four columns in order (Name, Category, Card_Plain, and Created_Date) using the Fields button at the far right.  Double-click the Name field to move it into the Report Columns list. Do this for the remaining fields and click OK.  Note that a column can also be dragged by its heading to change the column order.

Change the Destination to "File". 

Click the Options button to set the column delimiter to 3, and the line delimiter to 4.

Click the Execute button.  You can give "Untitled.txt" a better name and then select a location, like the Desktop, to save it.  This exported data will not include the line colors, or the text styling and pictures contained in the legacy cards.

This file can be imported into the new app using its File menu's Import Cards.

Note: Styled text from a card in the legacy database can also be copied to the system Clipboard and then pasted into the notes of a card in the new database.
