I created Decks because I was fed up with juggling over 10 apps just to manage one project. This app for notes, another for flashcards, something else for tasks, ChatGPT in a browser tab, a separate journal app... it was chaos. Finding which app had which piece of information was a huge time-waster. I wanted a single workspace per project where everything lives together and nothing gets lost. Decks is the "second brain" I needed—predictable, straightforward, and unobtrusive.
Since the last launch, Decks has evolved from a study and note-taking tool into a comprehensive workspace, now with eight integrated tools that work seamlessly together:
1. AI Chat
Experience a full ChatGPT interface with three intelligent modes:
- Conversational Mode for open Q&A.
- Study Mode that automatically generates flashcards and notes from your chats.
- Feynman Mode to help you identify and fill knowledge gaps by explaining concepts in your own words. AI will then generate notes and flashcards to help fill those gaps.
2. Flashcards
A spaced repetition system designed for long-term retention. Create cards manually or let AI generate them automatically, with support for rich text and images to make learning more engaging.
3. Rich Notes
A professional note editor with full text formatting, code blocks, and embedded media—ideal for detailed notes, research, or documentation.
4. Video Library
Curate and organize educational videos without leaving Decks. Use the built-in YouTube search, and let titles and descriptions auto-populate for quick setup.
5. Kanban Board
Stay organized with drag-and-drop task management. Move tasks seamlessly from To Do → In Progress → Done to keep your projects on track.
6. Sticky Notes
Capture quick thoughts instantly—just press Enter to create, then color-code, reorder, and edit inline for simple organization.
7. Timeline Journal
A social-media-style journal for daily reflections or project logs. Supports markdown, up to four images per post, and multiple journal books per deck.
8. Tables & Databases
Customizable tables with 13 column types, inline editing, aggregations, search, sorting, and reusable templates—perfect for tracking everything from goals to study sessions.
Decks is now equally useful as a project management tool (tasks + notes + references), a study tool (AI chat + flashcards + spaced repetition), and a thinking workspace (journal + sticky notes + rich notes). All without app-switching.
