About

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.
