Space to think. Yours to keep.
Drop in photos, links, notes and video. Find any of it by its colour. It keeps working when the wifi drops, and your whole workspace saves as one file you keep.
Most tools rent you a place to put your work. Gladeboard gives you the work. Boards on your device, every reference findable by its colour, working with the network gone.

Photos, links, notes, video. Each one lands as the right kind of card.
Paste it, drop it, drag it onto the board. A link becomes a link, a clip plays where it lands, and a photo arrives with its colours already read — the start of the search further down.
Everything a project is made of.Notes and to-dos, images and video, links and swatches, headings, columns, boards inside boards, and sections to hold a corner of it together.
A heading: “Night record — cover”.
You remember the colour, not the file name.Type a colour into search and the board answers: every card that wears it stays lit, everything else steps back. Each picture’s palette is read the moment it lands — on your device.

Wifi drops? It keeps working.Create, edit and search with no connection at all. Every device keeps a full copy of your work, so nothing you do waits on the network.

Your whole workspace, as one file.Back it up whenever you like: one file with every board in it, to keep wherever you keep things. Or take a single board out as a poster, or as Markdown.
Local files. On-device index. No network dependency.
The things a cloud tool cannot promise without competing with itself: your work on your machine, found by what it looks like, and there when the connection is not.
Boards are files
One .glade per board on your disk. Move it, back it up, diff it.
Colour is an index
Dominant colour extracted at import. Query it like a field.
Offline is default
Full replica per device. Sync is a background job, never a gate.

Great tools. Different priorities.

Is the free plan time-limited?
No. Three boards, free, with no clock on them. It is a plan rather than a trial, so there is no day on which it stops working.
What counts as a board?
One canvas. Cards, columns and nested boards inside it all belong to the board that holds them, so a deep board still counts once.
Can I self-host sync?
Not today. Sync runs on our server, and the honest answer is that a self-host story does not exist yet. Your workspace exports whole at any time, which is the part that protects you in the meantime.
