CardBeat is a simple yet powerful tool for plotting your novel, screenplay or short story. Its 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.
- Dont have an Apple Pencil? CardBeat lets you draw just as easily with you finger.
- Dont 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 youre working on.

CardBeat also has world-class privacy, with no third-party analytics or ad trackers and a simple off switch for iCloud synching.
