Deckset vs FocusCard

Present with speaker notes, then share as PDF or images. Deckset is made for teachers, students, developers, founders, designers, researchers, and anyone who wants to focus on the message. For people who prefer a plain-text workflow, Deckset also supports Markdown, code highlighting, equations, tables, diagrams, and rich media. KEY FEATURES - Create presentations in Deckset’s built-in text editor - Choose from more than 25 professional themes for lectures, conferences, startup pitches, classrooms, and business presentations - Let Deckset handle slide layout, typography, spacing, and consistency - Customize themes to fit your presentation - Present code with syntax highlighting and scale-to-fit - Include equations, tables, and diagrams powered by Mermaid.js - Add images, videos, GIFs, and SVG files - Present with speaker notes and rehearsal mode - Export to PDF, PNG, or JPEG, with options for presenter notes and accessible PDFs WHY DECKSET Traditional presentation tools make you arrange every element manually. Deckset keeps you focused on the story. Write and revise your ideas as text, then let Deckset turn them into clear, consistently designed slides. It works especially well for classroom lectures, conference talks, technical presentations, startup pitches, research, and any presentation where the message matters more than tweaking the layout. Deckset is not intended to replace every feature in Keynote or PowerPoint. It is a simpler, faster way to write, design, present, and share your ideas.

You sit down to do one thing — twenty minutes later you're three apps deep wondering why. FocusCard puts that one task, huge, on your screen and Lock Screen, until you mark it done. You'll still drift. The way back is one tap. Built for deep work, ADHD focus, and anyone who's ever taped a sticky note to their laptop. HOW IT WORKS • Pick one task from your iOS Reminders. • Tap it. The screen turns black, the title fills it. • The same task lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you work. • Tap "Mark Complete" when done. Tap anywhere else to pause. FEATURES • Reads from iOS Reminders. No extra task list to maintain. • Grouped by Reminders list, color-coded. • Lock Screen Live Activity with the active task title. • Screen stays awake during focus sessions, so you can prop your phone up. • Swipe left or long-press to mark done, with undo. • Settings lets you choose which Reminders lists show up. • Long-press any reminder to deep-link to it in the Reminders app. WHY THIS WORKS FocusCard isn't a Pomodoro timer or a habit tracker. It's a digital index card, propped where the thing you most want to ignore lives. The research: • Attention residue (Leroy, 2009): switching tasks leaves cognitive sludge. A single visible focus reduces it. • The Zeigarnik effect: unfinished tasks loop in your mind until you externalize them. • Cognitive offloading (Risko & Gilbert, 2016): writing a task down frees working memory. PRIVACY FocusCard does not collect any data. No accounts. No analytics. No third parties. The whole app runs on your device. BUILT BY ONE PERSON For a year I had a stack of 3×5 index cards on my desk. Every morning I'd write the one thing I most needed to do, in big letters, and prop it next to my laptop. The cards worked. They kept going missing. So I built FocusCard. Same idea, on the device I always have with me. — Dewang Mistry
