Card Buddy - Index Cards 4+

That's how it feels, anyway. I've spent over 30 hours periodically looking for an sticky notes / index cards application that is also meshed with a grid option, FOREVER. Every application worthy has a hefty subscription requirement, or worse, its U/I is so obsessed with appearing clean that precious real estate is used up by emptiy space and cannot be used. I've looked at over 25 applications.

WIth Card Buddy, I can fit a LOT of text in different notes on my screen and at a glance without having to scroll up or down. This makes it much easier to story board when it comes to several sub-plots and characters, and moving things around is easy-breezy.

User interface is easy, the application is intuitive,a and you can learn it in about 10 seconds.

There's a number of features this app could use, but I'm hopeful because at the time of writing I see the creator updated 3 weeks ago. This is an app that is in progress and I look forward to seeing how it grows! Definitely worth the cost.

I've been looking for an app that would allow to me to lay out index cards in a snap-to grid that would rearrange itself when I moved the cards. This is the only app I could find for Mac! The interface is not quite as streamlined as it could be, but the app works very well and does exactly what I need it to do. Two suggestions: One would be a "fit to window" view, which would keep all my cards stationary on the screen so that I don't have to scroll around to see them all. Another suggestion would be a "grab" function, so that when using a mouse I could grab the board and move it around, without having to use the scroll bars at the side and bottom. Overall, though, this app is worth the very reasonable price!

I have used quite a few note card apps, and none of them were exactly what I wanted. This one, while missing a few features that would make it better, is pretty much what I've been looking for for years. The developer is very responsive, so I'm looking forward to updates and improvements!

The notecard grid is hands down the best thing I've ever used. I used it for organizing my academic papers. I have a bolded header row and header column, and I like that I can move the whole row/column as needed. Within the grid, a card is holds a note or quotation and the reference, and I can move around my ideas to my heart's content without worrying whether I will lose track of my citations. The keyboard shortcuts are very well thought out as well. Once I learned them, moving around my giant board was really easy.

I fully plan to use it to organize my fiction as well. I'll be playing with the other features soon.

Thank you so much for this app!
