I’ve tested ArtDeck for too long and I need people who don’t know about it!

I ve spent months testing ArtDeck with my own boards, which means I know exactly where everything is and can no longer tell what s actually obvious.

I m looking for a few artists, designers and other visually minded people to try it before launch. You don t need to draw. The useful test is simply to create one real board for something you re working on, using your own images, links, notes or videos.

Hi ProductHunt 👋

Hi

I m Alexandre, a solo developer and artist from France. I joined while preparing to launch ArtDeck, a native reference board for iPhone, iPad and Mac that I originally built for my own drawing workflow.

My references were split across four apps, so I built ArtDeck

Last November I was working on concepts for a personal game project. My references were in PureRef, my links were in Notion, I was checking things in Photoshop and painting in Procreate. Two devices, three screens, four different tools for what was really one activity.

So I built ArtDeck: one native reference board for images, video, GIFs, links, notes and PDFs. It works offline and syncs through your own iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The part I wanted most wasn t another place to collect things. It was being able to study them where I saved them: values, palettes, composition, angles, proportions and motion, directly on the board.

It s a one-time purchase, with no account or subscription.
