Who makes ArtDeck
Hi, I'm Alexandre.
I do a lot of stuff. Drawing, 3D and also software. ArtDeck is a tool that I need because it allows me to explore the many sides of working with references. And sometimes just a place to gather my inspirations and ideas.
In November 2025, I was making concept art for a personal project. My references were spread across four apps, and it was annoying. I worked on ArtDeck so that I only need one app, and it's shared between my devices.
Where my references lived
- PureRef
- Notion
- Photoshop
- Procreate
Now
“My attention was constantly split between them. Every time I needed to switch contexts, I lost a bit of focus.”
How ArtDeck is made
- I'm the only one working on it.
- It's paid once, not with ads or by using your data.
- Everything is on your device except when you also sync it to your iCloud.
- It always works offline.
