One template. Your spreadsheet. A print-ready deck.
Boardsmith is a fast, local card deck editor for macOS and Windows. Design the template once, point it at your data, and every card renders itself — to PNG, print-ready PDF, or straight into Tabletop Simulator. No subscription, no cloud. Your project is a file.
Thirty seconds, no sound: one template, one spreadsheet, a deck, and the way out. Watch on YouTube →
Made for decks that live in a table
Fast like a native app
The preview re-renders in about 40 milliseconds as you type. Boardsmith is a native desktop app, not a browser tab pretending to be one — a 200-card deck feels the same as a 12-card demo.
Data is the source of truth
Cards are rows in a CSV or spreadsheet. Fields pull from columns with
{column} tokens, inline markup handles bold, colours and icons, and
validation catches tokens without columns — and columns without fields.
A file, not an account
The template is JSON that belongs in git. The GUI and the CLI share one renderer, so the deck you ship can be rebuilt in CI, byte for byte, long after you forgot how you made it.
The way out is a printer
