Digital coaching tools for professional workflows
metacards provides workspaces for visual coaching. Cards, prepared methods and free canvas work can be connected with clients and topics in sessions, retained and picked up later.
The methods overview explains what is appropriate professionally; this page explains what metacards actually provides.
The workspace is not professional guidance. It supports preparing, conducting and continuing visual work without replacing method selection or professional facilitation.

Explore online coaching toolsHow the workspace fits into a session
For a session, a coach can open a visual workspace, use suitable cards or a prepared work format, then connect the result with a client, topics and the session. The work state remains available for later professional work.
The digital whiteboard is the underlying product function. Wheel of Life, systemic board or timeline are work formats it can support; their professional logic remains on their reference pages and in the methods hub.
Functions that are actually available
metacards provides a visual surface with cards, text, shapes, lines, drawing and uploadable personal card decks or existing card motifs. Card motifs are not created or designed inside metacards.
- cards, text, shapes, lines and drawing on the canvas
- prepared visual work formats such as Wheel of Life, timeline and systemic board
