ArtDeck
A cross-device canvas for visual references, drawing analysis, and motion study
About ArtDeck
ArtDeck is a reference board app for visual creation and learning. Save images, videos, links, notes, PDFs, and GIFs on one canvas, then draw or annotate directly. ToolBox offers value, color, composition, and motion-study workflows; the analysis panel reads value ranges, histograms, hue, and saturation, while videos and GIFs can be played frame by frame with adjacent frames overlaid to compare timing, spacing, and movement. Canvases stay synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud, and offline work can sync afterward.
