Export what you own
Built for things cloud boards can't do.Your work opens with no spinner, survives a dead connection, and leaves as a file you keep.
Paste anything. It lands as the right kind of card.
A URL becomes a link card. An image arrives with its palette already read. A file lands exactly where you dropped it.
Find it by its colour.
Every image has its dominant colour read on import. Ask for teal and the board answers.
Works with the plug pulled.
Every device keeps a complete copy. Creating, editing and searching need no connection at all — and nothing waits for a round trip when it comes back.
Leaves as a file you own.
A board exports as a poster or as Markdown. The workspace exports as one file you can move.
No account, nothing to install.
“Show me everything teal.”Type a color or click a swatch. This is the real search, not a video of it.
