[email protected] Please include your device, OS version, app version, and deck name if relevant.Deck Garden is one app with two journeys — explore beautiful decks made by others, or build and publish your own. Here's the lay of the land.
Deck Garden is a home for beautiful card deck apps — oracle, affirmation, and tarot-style decks for daily reflection, insight, and ritual. Seekers browse a marketplace of artist-made decks, draw cards, lay spreads, and journal. Creators build their own decks with no code and publish them for others to enjoy.
Yes — it's free to download and start. You can browse the marketplace, draw cards, lay spreads, journal, and set card alerts at no cost, and every deck includes a free 2-day trial so you can explore before you buy.
Creating is free too: build a starter deck of up to 44 cards without paying anything. Bigger, fully custom decks and publishing to the marketplace involve a one-time fee — see For Creators and Purchases & Subscriptions.
Deck Garden is available for iOS and Android, with the deck builder available both in the app and through a browser-based Pack Builder. The app interface is available in up to 26 languages.
To explore: open the app, browse Discover, and start a free trial on any deck that speaks to you. Tap Draw for a card or a spread.
To create: head to Create (or the browser Pack Builder), add your card art and meanings, then preview and publish when you're ready.
Open a deck and tap Draw. You can pull a single card for quick insight, or lay a 3- or 5-card spread for a deeper reading. You can also browse every card at your own pace, or watch a meditative slideshow that reveals one card at a time.
Every deck includes a 2-day free trial. Start it from the deck's page to unlock the full deck, draws, and audio. If you decide it's for you, you can purchase it before or after the trial ends.
After a draw, open the journal to capture what came up. Set your mood and let gentle prompts guide your reflection. Your entries are saved so you can look back and notice patterns over time.
Choose the decks that resonate with you and set your rhythm — a card can arrive once a day or every hour. Manage these any time in the app's notification settings (and make sure notifications are enabled for Deck Garden in your device settings).
Yes. When a deck reminds you of someone special, you can send it as a gift from the deck's page — a small, meaningful way to share a moment of calm and clarity.
Some creators offer Inner Circle subscriptions so you can go deeper with member-only cards, spreads, and new releases, and support a creator whose work you love. You can subscribe from that creator's deck and manage it any time — see Purchases & Subscriptions.
Use the no-code builder — in the app or the browser-based Pack Builder. No coding required. For each card you add your art, a title, and your meaning, plus optional audio you record or upload.
You can also add custom pages, choose color themes, fonts and backgrounds, and add visual effects. Preview everything in real time and refine until it feels uniquely yours.
When your deck is ready, submit it to the marketplace. Publishing has a one-time submission fee per deck, and your deck goes live instantly — no app-store paperwork or review on your end. Every future update to that deck stays free for its lifetime.
You keep 70% of net revenue on paid decks. You can also offer Inner Circle subscriptions and timed Live Drops for recurring income.
Your dashboard tracks views, downloads, purchases, and subscriptions, with payouts via PayPal each month. There are no monthly platform fees — only the one-time submission fee per deck.
You can build a starter deck of up to 44 cards for free. Unlocking the full creative canvas allows up to 100 cards and 10 custom pages, along with themes, effects, custom fonts and backgrounds, and a members-only section.
Live Drops are timed releases you can schedule for your members — exclusive cards, spreads, or member-only content delivered on a rhythm. Paired with subscriptions, they're a way to keep your community engaged and build recurring revenue.
Yes — your cards, art, and words are yours. Deck Garden is the place you publish and sell them. If you have questions about your content or account, reach out any time.
Deck purchases and subscriptions are processed securely through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). That means billing, renewals, and refunds are managed through your store account.
If you reinstalled the app or switched devices, open the app's settings and choose Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple ID or Google account you used originally. Your decks and unlocks will return.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and you cancel through your store account:
Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the current billing period.
Purchases are handled by Apple and Google, so refunds are requested through them rather than directly from us:
If something went wrong with a deck itself, let us know and we'll do our best to help.
First, try Restore Purchases while signed in with the account used to buy. Make sure the app is updated and you have a stable connection. If it still doesn't appear, email us with your receipt and the deck name and we'll sort it out.
We take your privacy seriously. For full details on what we collect and how it's used, please read our Privacy Policy.
To request deletion of your account and associated data, email us at [email protected] from the address on your account, and we'll take care of it.
You can review our Terms of Service any time. Creators can also find guidance on publishing and revenue there.
A few quick fixes for the most common hiccups. If these don't do it, we're glad to help directly.
Check your internet connection and that the app is up to date, then reopen the deck. If a purchased deck still won't load, try Restore Purchases. Still stuck? Send us the deck name and we'll investigate.
Make sure your device isn't on silent/mute and the volume is up, and that the app has any needed audio permissions. Reopening the card or the app usually helps. If a specific deck's audio is missing, let the creator or us know.
Confirm notifications are enabled for Deck Garden in your device settings, and that you've chosen at least one deck and a delivery rhythm in the app's alert settings. Some battery-saver modes can delay notifications.
Payouts are sent via PayPal each month. Make sure your PayPal details are correct in your creator settings. For specific payout questions, email us and include your creator account and the deck in question.
If you didn't find your answer above, we're happy to help. The more detail you share, the faster we can sort it out.
