SwipeGridVisual alignment
Decide on the look, together

The fastest way to a clear yes.

You send a deck of visual options, your client or your team swipes through it on a phone, and a clear direction comes back instead of another thread.

Reviewers don’t need an account, and the link works on any phone they already carry.

Built for the reviewer

Tap the link. Swipe through. Done.

Each card gets a keep, a cut, or a hold, with an optional note when context matters. The whole review happens on a thumb and usually finishes in a couple of minutes. There’s nothing to download, no account to create, and no instructions to read first.

Why it exists

The cost of moving forward without alignment.

Most teams choose visual direction in a Slack thread that keeps growing, with three people remembering three different versions of the same meeting. The cost shows up later, as bloated moodboards, AI runs nobody triaged, and revision rounds that shouldn’t have been needed.

People usually know what feels right; they just don’t put it into words. A swipe catches it before the words have to.

How it works

How a deck becomes a direction.

01

Build a deck.

Mix photos, palettes, finishes, and type in whatever combination the direction calls for.

02

Share one link.

Reviewers keep, cut, hold, and add notes without a login, an app, or instructions.

03

Read the direction.

A one-line summary of what they kept and why, with the full decision log when you need to defend it.

Build a deck

Four ways to make a direction.

Upload your own photos or pull from a live image search, then layer in palettes, finishes, and type. The deck reflects whatever the work actually needs, instead of forcing the work into a preset.

  • PhotosUpload your own, search live, or pick from curated.
  • PalettesOne-tap presets or custom hex.
  • FinishesBrass, walnut, marble, more.
  • TypeEight typographic treatments.

What comes back

The direction, in one place.

A 3-page report comes back when the review closes: a cover with the stats, the cards that landed, and the full decision log. Attach it to the next email instead of reconstructing the meeting from memory.

Who uses it

Built for anyone making visual decisions.

SwipeGrid works wherever visual direction needs to get sorted before the work goes further.

01

Photographer client selects

Send the shoot and get the picks back without a spreadsheet in the middle.

02

AI output triage

Sort Midjourney, DALL-E, or Sora runs without losing the strongest ones.

03

Designer moodboards

Share the concept routes and references, and let the team narrow them before you build.

04

Agency creative routes

Pitch three directions and let stakeholders react on their own time.

05

Couples planning a wedding or a home

Decide together without forwarding fifty screenshots.

06

Brand teams reviewing campaigns

Collect reactions across stakeholders before the work locks.

07

Architects and interior designers

Present material palettes, finishes, and visual directions.

08

Recruiters and casting

Curate the talent options and let decision-makers respond on their own time.

In practice

What it looks like in the wild.

Photographer

Sends a shoot, and the client returns keeps and notes on their own schedule with no phone call needed.

Agency

Pitches three creative routes; stakeholders react on their own time, and the one that lands is the one that gets built.

Designer

Drops a stack of Midjourney generations into a deck, and the team narrows it before the next standup.
