Hyperdeck is the product made by and for Direct Message, a digital creative studio. DM is a bootstrapped team of 20 people in Northern California making, designing, strategizing, and producing for name-brand media and entertainment clients.
We built Hyperdeck because we needed it. Every day we switch between docs, whiteboards, AI tools, and spreadsheets. We wanted one place where it all just works and where our whole team could see the same thing at the same time.
This isn’t a VC-funded cash grab. It’s a tool built by people who use it every day, for people who work like we do. We’re deeply focused on our community. If we’re not hitting the mark, tell us in Discord. We want to solve your problem.
Hyperdeck is a shared workspace for creative teams. Whiteboards, documents, tasks, files, feedback, and AI live together, so you can spend less time fighting your workflow and more time making the work. Think fewer handoffs, fewer lost decisions, and fewer tabs you’re afraid to close.
Agencies, marketing teams, designers, producers, and anyone who makes things with other people. We originally built Hyperdeck for Direct Message, a creative studio that still uses it every day. The product grew out of real projects, real deadlines, and the strange number of places a single piece of feedback can hide.
