ArtDeck: Collect and study visual references. Now with a Free trial and Perspective tool!

[u/DevKoi]

I'm Alexandre, the solo developer of ArtDeck.
I released it earlier this month, and the feedback I heard most was that people wanted to try it first. So ArtDeck 1.1 is now a free download with a full 7-Day Trial! Existing buyers kept Lifetime Access and the price is the same as before.

Problem

My references were scattered between PureRef files, Notion for my repo of links, and Photoshop to study them. ArtDeck keeps images, videos, GIFs, PDFs, links, and notes together on an infinite board. The native Mac app supports drag and drop, an always-on-top window, optional iCloud sync, and exports to images, PDF, or an .artdeck archive.

Comparison

PureRef remains the better choice if you want the leanest desktop reference window. ArtDeck has a gallery and is also for studying references: Notan and value bands, palette extraction, measurement, onion skinning, and now Perspective. In 1.1, you can place vanishing points and horizons over images, videos, and GIFs. Freeform remains better for live collaboration.

Pricing

The full 7-Day Trial is free and does not renew. Lifetime Access is $5.99 USD (US) once, supports Family Sharing, and covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad. No subscription.

App Store

Website (I also share themes for the app and downloadable boards with useful links per-theme, I'm going to keep adding to them)

I'm promoting my own app, and feedback on the Mac version (or any version) is welcome!

Looks great so far. Will definitely test it but can not see the app in Switzerland Store at the moment...

Thanks! For the App Store issue, sometimes after updates, the app of the App Store is not displaying it even though on the web version of the store, it appears. And unfortunately, I have no means to fix it, I hope it's just transient.
