Save where you stopped, the next action and any setup needed. Return Cards turn an unfinished task into a concrete place to resume. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Return Cards and write where you stopped, what comes next and the setup you need. 2. Add checkpoints as work progresses. Search or archive cards when your priorities change. 3. Send the next action into Begin when you are ready, or export cards for backup. The existing Begin workflow and guided starting tools remain available. WHAT TO KNOW Cards are manual planning records. Opening a next action does not automatically start a timer or mark work complete. Local storage has explicit record limits. iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BriefDeck at Free against Beginbeat's $1.99. Beginbeat's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
