Description

CardBeat is a simple yet powerful tool for plotting your novel, screenplay or short story. It's a digital cork board that keeps all the fun things about working with index cards – and gets rid of all the rest.
- Easily break your story into acts, sequences and scenes, structure your plots and shuffle them around as much as you like – all without wasting ink or paper.
- Use cards in different colors, with lines or grids printed on them.
- Choose between three different kinds of pencils in various sizes and an almost infinite amount of colors.
- Don't have an Apple Pencil? CardBeat lets you draw just as easily with you finger.
- Don't like your handwriting or prefer a cleaner look? CardBeat takes keyboard input, too!
- Move your cards around freely in any dimension, without the limits of grids or table cells.
- Need feedback from a colleague? Export your board as a PDF for easy sharing.
- Want to use CardBeat in a Writers' Room? Connect any screen or projector to your iPad or iPhone and get a crisp overview of the board you're working on.
CardBeat also has world-class privacy, with no third-party analytics or ad trackers and a simple off switch for iCloud synching.

One board, really??

uytvfjftiytv on

Lovely I absolutely adore the app and it’s settings! I find it easy to use and quite helpful with the ability to rearrange things! Yet there are many, and I mean MANY setbacks. First of all, is there seriously only a singular board to go with? I would say atleast five is a small but good amount especially without buying, but ONE…? Really? Come on now. The nest is more of a personal preference. I feel you should be able to zoom in more to the cards. It’s just a small pet peeve of mine that I can deal with, but the one board is really something that I hate. Please consider adding more, even. If it’s just a couple I would be much happier.

A complete game-changer!

I write constantly. For years, my girlfriend has tolerated rows and rows of sticky notes covering our walls. This app does everything I need as a writer, and all while being quite privacy-conscious. This is a must-have for novelists, screenwriters, anyone passionate about storytelling!

It deleted all my stuff

I’m very sad bc I spent a long time writing my stuff on here and it deleted it 😥. You can also only have two boards unless you pay which is kinda useless

doesn't function at all on mac so

qsuiiitka on

might've been good, - especially on iphone or ipad - but doesn't work at all on mac. as well as that, the 2 boards limit just seems silly and not in a good way. it's as if the app is torturing and annoying you into purchasing the full version rather than making the user love the app enough to purchase the full version knowing how reliable and useful the app is to them. It seems like it might've been good but it just doesn't function and with that, doesn't offer any info and way to help other than repeating the "purchase full version!!1!" again and again

Excellent UI, needs more bells and whistles.

The controls feel very natural in terms of taps and swipes compared to another similar app which felt very unnatural having the user go back and forth tapping with 1 finger or 2 fingers or dragging with 3 fingers, this one feels good to use. I think they need to revisit monetization maybe sell additional boards in bundles or singularly for a small fee. Also needs more features, would love if boards were on more of a grid we could have option to snap to just to keep everything more in line. I would also love to be able to put more information or a photo on the back of the card. Maybe a few words on the front then detailed explanation on back would be awesome.

Only 2 Boards

I would love to storyboard content for so late media and lay out those projects over time. It would be awesome to add a feature where we can take photos with the phone for framing and maybe even audio for notes on that frame/ scene. It would make it easier to track the ideas and projects as they work from scrap to fruition. This app is an excellent start for blocking out ideas. If the developer gets the support I could see this App becoming an incredibly helpful tool.

Beautiful App. That's it so far

Davonte W. on

I use cardflow+ currently because it has better functionality. I would become a raving fan if they added copy & paste image capability because $23/yr for the app currently available is not it. Update: Just found out you can't even copy and paste other cards? lol

Good enough, too minimal to justify pro upgrade at the moment

Adhish on

App works well enough. You can create notecards and drag them around a canvas easily, zoom in and out of the canvas, and easily delete/add new notecards. There aren’t many features, however. I question whether $23 for the pro version is worth the price just to unlock multiple cork boards. I’ll keep an eye out if more features are added and consider changing my review later. The app is much more geared towards drawing on the notecards than typing, which unfortunately isn’t my primary use case. Font and text formatting control is unfortunately lacking. Text autofits to notecards. I would love to see some snapping/grid spacing options for the cards, custom sizing of cards, text formatting controls, and different export options like plaintext or formatted text so that card contents can be copied and pasted to other documents, beat sheets, lists, etc. With these kinds of features, this could become an invaluable part of my process. The potential is there.
