The visual workspace for game designers.
Notes, images, links, tasks, tables and whole sub-boards on one canvas. Put them where they belong, connect the ones that depend on each other, and keep the whole project in view while you work on one corner of it.
Free while we are in early access, and free for life if you sign up now. No card.
One canvas, and everything the project is made of on it
Stop rebuilding the same context across documents, folders and chat threads. Put the brief beside the reference, the task beside the idea, and the decision beside the reason behind it. The whole project stays visible without being forced into a template somebody else designed.
Notes, rich text, images, links, buttons, tables, code blocks, colour swatches and task lists, all on the same canvas. Resize them, group them, and move them around until the layout matches how you think about the project.
Draw a connection between any two cards and label it. A quest that unlocks another quest, a scene that pays off a setup, a task that is waiting on a decision. The reasoning stays on the board instead of in your head.
Any card can open into its own canvas. Keep the top level readable and push the detail down a layer, so the overview does not turn into a wall of text the first time the project gets complicated.
Invite people as viewers or editors and watch changes appear as they happen. Export any board to PDF whenever you want. Nothing you make here is trapped here.
This is a real board
Not a mockup. This is the board used to plan the progression system in a small game, with the mechanics on the left, the levels they unlock in the middle, and the open questions pinned to the right.
Start with one thing and build outward
Drop in what you already have
Paste links, drag in images, type notes. There is no template to fill in and no fields to complete first.
Arrange it until it makes sense
Move cards around, put related things near each other, and draw connections where one thing depends on another.
Push the detail down a level
When a card gets too big, open it into its own board. The overview stays readable and the detail is one click away.
