# ReviewDeck - review video, images, audio and 3D assets on your own drive

> Own the tool. Send to anyone. ReviewDeck is a free offline desktop review app (Windows 10+): frame-accurate notes and drawn markup on video, images, audio and 3D, running off drives you already own. No cloud, no account, no subscription.

Built for game dev - trailers, captures, key art and 3D assets - and works for everyone else too. You send one file; reviewers open it on any device and just start reviewing. Whole-team reviews run off a drive you already own, and every cut stays on storage you control.

## Features

- **Versions** - stack v1, v2, v3. Each cut keeps its own notes; flip between them, nothing gets confused.
- **Notes to your timeline** - notes export as timeline markers for DaVinci Resolve (EDL), Premiere Pro (XML) and Final Cut Pro (FCPXML), carrying the exact frame so feedback lands where you actually cut. CSV and PDF reports too.
- **Quality tiers** - imports bake a light, a balanced and a full-res version of every video. Playback is instant even off a network drive over WiFi, and you pick what ships in a send.
- **Replies and @mentions** - reply under any note, or @ someone and it lands in their Needs-you list. Threads stay pinned to the frame they're about.
- **Images, audio and 3D too** - review a key art still, a music stem on a waveform, or a hero prop in the 3D viewport, the same way. Notes land on the exact spot, the exact moment, or the exact camera view.
- **PDF note reports** - export a review as a print-ready PDF: every note with its timecode, its frame, and the drawings on it.

## 3D review

The app ships a real 3D viewport (the same engine runs in the browser review portal). Every note bakes the exact camera view it was written from; selecting a note flies the viewport back to it. Meshes (glTF/GLB, FBX, OBJ, COLLADA, PLY, STL, 3MF) and Gaussian splat captures (PLY, SPZ, SPLAT, KSPLAT, SOG) both review this way, with a 3D grease pencil, motion trails on rigged characters, part isolation, and shading/lighting switches.

## Why are you uploading your work to a third party just to put comments on it?

That's the question ReviewDeck exists to ask. See how it compares: [vs Frame.io](https://reviewdeck.app/vs/frame-io.md) · [vs SyncSketch](https://reviewdeck.app/vs/syncsketch.md)

## Self-hosted: run it off a drive you already own

A studio NAS, an office share, or just a folder on your own machine: if you can put files there, you can review there. Point the team at it and that's the setup. Everyone's notes save beside the video and merge into one timeline.

- Nothing to host - it's a folder on a drive you already have.
- No seat rental - nobody bills you monthly per person.
- Your permissions - the share controls who's in. No new logins.
- Work stays in the building - an unannounced title never touches anyone else's server.

## Your cloud drive is your server

A review library is just files, so a synced folder is a review server. Drop it in Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and a remote team reviews together: notes sync like any other file and merge as they arrive. ReviewDeck is built cloud-aware - tell it the library is synced and it adapts, flagging sync conflicts instead of showing phantom notes. ReviewDeck never touches your cloud account; the storage deal stays between you and your provider.

## Sending work out: one file, they just open it

For clients and anyone outside the building, ReviewDeck packs your cut into one `.rdeck` file. You pick which quality tiers ride, from a light phone-friendly pass to the full-res master. Reviewers drop it into the review portal at [portal.reviewdeck.app](https://portal.reviewdeck.app) - any browser, phone or computer - and leave notes right on the frame. No account, no sign-up. Their feedback comes back as a tiny file that files itself to the right review, drawings included.

- Everything in one file: media, thumbnails and your context notes travel together.
- Phones welcome: the browser portal reviews it anywhere, full markup included.
- 3D goes too: meshes and splat captures ride the same file and open in the browser portal, orbit and all.
- Optional password: real AES-256 encryption, with notes and thumbnails sealed too.
- Nothing uploads: the portal is blocked from all network access once it loads.

## What it isn't

- **No hosted links.** There's no ReviewDeck server, so there's no link that serves your work. The file travels how you already talk: chat, email, a drive.
- **Async, not live.** People leave notes in their own time; there's no synced live session.
- **Best for people who'll open a file.** Built for teams and trusted clients, not for chasing a link to someone who won't click it.
- **Review, and nothing else.** No project management, no chat, no approval chains.

## Pricing

Free to start. No subscription, ever.

- **Indie - Free, available now.** The full review tool for solo use: review your own work and send cuts out for notes.
- **Team - £100 once, coming soon.** Up to 10 people. Internal reviews on your own drive, one payment, no per-seat, no renewal. Adds admin tools (library activity, turnaround and sign-off tracking), your branding on outgoing sends, and watermarks.
- **Studio - coming soon.** For teams larger than 10, including white-label options.

ReviewDeck is Windows-only for now; a Mac build depends on demand.
