Cards that follow your finger.
Columns with depth.
On your phone, Basecamp's card table has always been a web page. Next Card makes it a native iOS app — drag with physics, haptics and 60fps. Clear today's work with one hand.
Built by and for long-time Basecamp users.
Basecamp's API is more capable than anything a browser can let you feel. Native is our bet.
Next Card is our first answer. The drag engine took months of trial and error, and the day it finally came together we couldn't put it down. You'll probably feel the same.
Things Next Card does differently
This is not “a faster Basecamp”. These are things that simply cannot be built inside a webview.
Drag that follows
Lift a card and it tilts as its shadow deepens; the cards below spring aside. The drop target is a dent in the paper — no insertion line, because real paper never needed one.
Time Machine
Columns recede into a tunnel. Push up to travel through them, one column at a time — a seven-column board read in a single screen instead of seven swipes.
The shape of a board
Every board in the list carries a minimap: see at a glance whether it is front-loaded or all jammed up in review. “7 columns · 31 cards” can never tell you that.
Cards with covers
The first image in a card's note becomes its cover — no extra field to fill in, you get it just by writing the note. Height is clamped by a per-project aspect cap, so one tall screenshot can't wreck the column, and the layout never jumps while images load.
This isn't about speed — speed is easy to claim and easy to forget. It's about the connections with the things you open daily.
Pricing
Start with 7 days of the full version, no payment info required. After that the free tier is still a real thing — a board reader for one project.

The native layer for Basecamp
The NextRidge suite tries to bring the native look & feel to the Basecamp components — one subscription for all of them.
Card table. Drag, Time Machine, card covers, board minimaps.
To-dos. Checking things off feels like something. A list you can clear in one screen, with overdue items rising to the top.
Docs and Files. Readable offline, images that never make you wait, pages that turn like paper.
About
Basecamp has been around for more than twenty years and will be around for twenty more. The apps in the NextRidge suite are not a one-time sale: the subscription is what keeps them maintained, tracking Basecamp's API and each year of iOS. Built to last, not to flip.
We never touch your Basecamp password — sign-in goes through official OAuth and you can revoke it at any time. Your data stays in Basecamp. We do not copy it and we keep no copy of our own.
