JikuDeck
Hire for how fast someone learns, not what they know today.
JikuDeck for podcast listeners
That line you loved on the walk home? Keep it.
You hear something brilliant, nod along, and it's gone by the next episode. JikuDeck is a free iPhone app that turns podcast takeaways into visual cards, captured by voice or the share sheet, so you can find them again.
- Capture by voice
- Save from any podcast app
- No subscription
The problem
Great episodes, gone by the next one.
The best line comes mid-commute
You hear something brilliant on the train and promise yourself you'll remember it.
Your hands are busy
Cooking, walking, working out. By the time you can type, the thought is gone.
The next episode starts
Autoplay moves on, and so does your memory of what you just heard.
How it works
From episode to card in three steps
-
1
Capture it hands-free
Dictate the idea the moment you hear it, or share the episode from your podcast app into JikuDeck with the iOS share sheet.
-
2
Let it fill in the details
Share the episode link and JikuDeck fills in the platform, host, and episode for you. Just add a tag for the theme if you want one.
-
3
Find it and see it again
Search by show, guest, platform, or tag. The Home Screen widget brings a takeaway back each day, long after the episode ends.
Tip
What makes a podcast card stick
Write down the idea, not the episode. Future you only needs the part that mattered.
Hire for how fast someone learns. Add a "teach me something" question to every interview.
- 1
One idea, in your words
Skip the transcript. Capture the line that made you stop and think.
- 2
What you'll try
A small experiment turns a good episode into a real change.
- 3
Show and episode as the source
JikuDeck fills these in from the link, so you can jump back to the episode for the full context.
- 4
A tag for the theme
Connect ideas across shows, like everything you've heard about hiring.
