Exactly What I Needed for a Digital Holiday Index Card Writing Reference System!
I have been trying to create a digital reference system based on the Holiday index card system and there really are not a lot of apps out there designed for that purpose. This works perfectly and the files are localized on my own workstation instead of a cloud based web app I would love to be able to tag individual cards but other than that this is exactly what I needed.

For Writing - My Go-to
For fiction writing, this has become my go-to, and I’ve tried a bunch of others (Scapple, Scrivener, Final Draft 12, etc).
Needs Apple Pencil support.
It’s not as useful to me for storyboarding without it. I don’t understand why this is so difficult to add. Going back to Cardflow+ for now until Apple Pencil is supported.
Kudos to the creators of this fantastic App!
I've been looking for a simple card app like this for a long time. It's great for plotting a novel and way easier to use then Plottr. Exporting the cards to Mardown or printing them is simple. I highly recommend it to writers.
Great App!
Card Buddy holds all of the stories that I am currently writing for later publication. I have come to heavily rely on Card Buddy for this purpose and honestly, I can’t see myself using any other MacBook app for this particular purpose. Needless to say, it’s a rather simple app. However, it’s also completely perfect for my specific needs.

Good buddy
I especially like that I can add images to the cards. It’s simple and easy to use - exactly what I need. Perfect for plot and structure.
Simple & Robust
A unique and well-thought-out app.
The beauty in its design leads you to create without any added friction - there is enough control as well as flexibility, so that you are not spending your time with administrative busy-work. You can simply layout your storylines or information as you see fit, and efficiently adjust those items as required.
As soon as I discovered how well this app was put together, I searched Allen's other apps in hopes of finding something that I could use.
Brilliant software Allen!
Thanks

Love it!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. So simple to use for structuring my screenwriting. I have also started using it for mood boards and social content releases and such. Highly recommend for the price!
Nice
Very nice, very simple. But there is still room for further development without losing it’s valued simplicity!
Simplicity RULES!
I am writing a story and have looked at numerous apps that claim to help with the organization of character development, story outline, plot development, notes, etc. As a privacy advocate I am appalled at how many apps require you to provide the developer with royalty-free rights to not only YOUR content within their app but beyond it so they can sell it and repurpose it as you wish. (I am one of “those” people who read EULAs.). Doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they’re feeding YOUR ideas into AI to generate stories that somehow are remarkably similar to your own. No thanks.
Card Buddy is a breath of fresh air, for many reasons. 1. It is not the privacy nightmare that others are. 2. Its simplicity is phenomenal. While it has a few bells and whistles, the simplicity keeps me on track. In very little time I was able to create and organize cards for all my story elements, bringing my project to life. 3. Card Buddy can be used for SO MANY different tasks/projects!! I’m a retired IT business analyst, and I can see this working very eloquently as a fantastic way to keep track of epics, features, and user stories. In the non-work realm Card Buddy could be used to manage so many personal projects - building a family photo archive, renovating a room in the house, keeping track of contractor quotes, house maintenance, financial planning, managing a home business, etc.
It took me only 30 minutes of use after I downloaded the free version to upgrade to the paid version. SO worth it!

Good for screenwriting
Very good simple app for screenwriting structure. Could do with a few more keyboard shortcuts, but just what I needed and no unnecessary stuff.
Trial mode — just, you can’t save
So this is a program to allow you to capture an organize ideas, plans, projects. Stuff you want to capture and not lose. Trial mode could reasonably two weeks so you get to see it works for you and if not, lets you export to text file and turns off.
Really good and committed to getting better
This is a really solid app, that works across Apple platforms, follows Apple conventions, does most things really well. Do I want more? Yes. But the developer wisely focused on the fundamentals first and has a roadmap of features to add. For $20, well worth it. Support this developer. He knows what he's doing.

Immediately Super Useful
Within minutes of first use it was helping me conceptualize more clearly. I didn't hesitate to purchase.
One feature I would love that it doesn't have yet would be support for multiple canvases within a single document.

so much potential
I have been going crazy looking for a way to organize ideas in a grid for a looooong time.
I would like to see more customized options for text formatting, fonts, and colors!

Perfect in it's simplicity
I really love this app. The simplicity is what drew me to it. A lot of other apps have way too many features and they end up making me feel overwhelmed.
I also found the pricing fair at $20. That’s about what a cork board and a couple packs of post it notes would have cost. And the app has the added benifit of taking up no real space.

import export thanks!
Ive been wishing for this feature and its here. Absolutely loved this app but that was a big flaw for me. But its here, very very cool.
Great idea, ridiculous cost
Right off the bat I can’t save one? Have to pay $20? Looked promising but I’m good. I don’t see the cross platform functionality that would justify the price.
Exactly what I was looking for for plotting and brainstorming
I have been looking for a nice index card app that lets me move them around on a grid pattern and enter new cards quickly. This is EXACTLY what I needed. A bargain at its price.
Thank you so much for this app.
Thank you so much for this app.
Suuuuper
This is one of those apps that like, you've kind of hoping someone would make for years and no-one has.
Simple, dynamic, clever, works really well and is intuitive to use.
Well done :0
