Deck
Tracking updates for many apps in Apple Notes falls apart at ten projects: no rollup counts, no view of bugs actually closed. Deck replaces it with a full-screen dashboard of project cards grouped by category, each showing live pending/done and bug/feature counts, plus a focused three-pane editor with rich text, inline images, and PDF/RTFD export. Marking things done is a physical act: lift a note, the screen blurs, and you drop it on magnetic Done or Delete targets with real spring physics.

What Wasn't Working
Tracking bugs and features across many projects in Apple Notes folders breaks down fast: no rollup counts, no way to see what you've actually shipped.
How I Fixed It
A local-only SwiftData board where every project is a card with live bug/feature counts, a clean three-pane editor, drag-to-complete with spring physics, and done-today/week/month/lifetime stats.
