The classic UX card sorting method, on your iPad. Group ideas, rank priorities, build affinity diagrams. Search, tag, and export decks. Unlimited decks with one-time Pro.
iCardSort turns your iPad into a hands-on card sorting workspace. Drag cards on an open tabletop, group them by topic, or rank them by priority — the classic card sorting method, reimagined for touch.
ORGANIZE YOUR WAY
Work in Group mode to cluster related ideas, or switch to Order mode to rank by importance. Cards that touch automatically form visual stacks, making patterns emerge naturally.
GREAT FOR TEAMS AND CLASSROOMS
Teachers use iCardSort for vocabulary exercises, categorization tasks, and group discussions. Product teams use it for feature prioritization, sprint planning, and stakeholder workshops. Hand the iPad around, or share decks afterward — no accounts or setup required.
SHARE AND EXPORT
Send decks via AirDrop, email, Messages, or any app that supports file sharing. Export multiple decks at once as a .icardsortz archive to keep your work backed up and portable.
MAKE IT YOURS
Customize card colors, fonts, text size, and backgrounds — per card or per deck. Choose from bundled patterns or use your own photos as a tabletop background.
POWERFUL GESTURES
Double-tap to add a card. Two-finger double-tap to add many at once. Drag to move, pinch to zoom, long-press a stack to fan it out. Every interaction feels natural.
ALSO GREAT FOR
• UX research and information architecture
• Brainstorming and visual outlining
• Workshop facilitation and design sprints
• Study aids and flash card activities
iCardSort is a focused, flexible tool — it doesn't tell you how to organize. It gives you cards and a tabletop, and lets your thinking do the rest.

I'm an UX designer and have been finding a way to do workshop using digital post-its. This is what I've been looking for. I'd like a more intuitive way to create new post-it's and perhaps a better looking board background. But I'm really pleased to have found this app. Thank you.
Simple yet brilliant

This app is very easy to use, very intuitive, very simple. It's a well-executed iPad version of a powerful and effective method of organizing ideas. In the 'real world' method, you write items on post-it notes, stick them to a board and move them around until you are happy with the structure. A great way of planning a presentation, report, novel, etc. Far better than just starting writing. This app lets you do the same thing on the iPad. You can create two decks with the free version, then you have to pay to upgrade. Well worth it and a great use of the iPad interface.
Excellent app for studying

If you're the sort of person who enjoys studying by colour coding and using post it notes, then this app can save you a lot of time. I have found it really useful for summarising verbose journals into snippets of keys points, along with their references. I can see this being ideal for revision purposes or for when you have an essay to write and you want to go over the main ideas for planning purposes. In summary, a very useful app but even better if the following ideas are followed up (below).Note to developers: It would be really handy if you could select more than one post it at a time to move them altogether simultaneously while keeping the same arrangement. Also, it would be a nice touch if you had a greater variety of table surfaces to choose from, e.g. Pine wood, oak wood, plane black, etc.
It just gets better

I have had this app since it was released. It is one of three apps I use, that are improved on a fairly regular basis, and instead of bells and whistles they give you tools that enhance the whole experience.I use it for brainstorming, planning projects, and writing songs.I really get a lot of use out of it.
Organize bigger libraries with ease:
• Grid view — browse decks as thumbnails with card counts and category chips
• Pin your favorite decks to keep them at the top
• Add categories and tags to any deck, then filter and search by them
• Search now matches titles, notes, categories, and tags
• New More (…) menu puts grid, sort, and edit controls in one place
• More reliable deck sharing and import/export
• Additional stability fixes
