Structure that grows with you.
It starts with a canvas. Boards hold other boards, columns hold cards in order, frames group what belongs together.
The canvas
One endless surface with no pages and no edges. Drop anything in wherever it lands, pan with two fingers, pinch to zoom, and marquee-select a group to move it together. Pick a background colour and switch the dot grid on or off.
Boards inside boards
When a corner of the canvas grows into a project, give it its own board. Breadcrumbs show where you are; Back and Forward work like a browser, including swipe on the trackpad.
Columns
Stack cards under a title and they stay in order. A row of columns is a Kanban board. Fold a finished column to its header to keep it out of the way, and select cards and choose Group into Column to make one from what is already there.
Frames
A hand-sketched rectangle that groups cards visually without grabbing them. Cards inside still move on their own; the frame just says these belong together.
Tuesday
Everything you can put on a board.
Notes, titles, to-dos, images, links and files. Each one is a card you can drag, resize, tint and stack, and each one keeps its own smarts.
Notes
Rich text with bold, italic, underline, bullet and numbered lists. Eight pastel tints to tell notes apart at a glance, and font sizes from 12 to 32 so a note can be a caption or a headline.

Titles
Big headings that name a region of the board. Pick a fill and a text colour, align left, centre or right, and drag the edge to set the width.
To-dos
Checklists that behave like text: Enter adds a row, Backspace removes an empty one. Drag rows up and down, or drag one out onto the canvas and it becomes its own list.
Images
Drop from Finder, paste a screenshot, or drop onto an empty image card. Resize from any corner and the proportions stay put. Every image is a file in your folder, not a blob in a database.
Links
Paste a URL and Boardify fetches the title, description, preview image and favicon, then caches them locally so the card works offline. Video links get a play badge.
Files
PDFs, text files, anything else. PDFs preview inline, text files show their first lines, everything else shows its name and size. One click opens the file in its own app.

Draw, shape, snap into place.
Shapes, lines and freehand drawing turn a board into a diagram, and snap guides keep it tidy while you work.
Shapes and lines
Filled or outlined rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses and more. Lines can be solid or dashed and end in an arrow, a dot or a bar, so a board can carry a diagram without a separate tool.
Draw
Sketch freely over the board: circle a word, draw an arrow, cross something out. When you stop, the strokes become a card you can move, scale and delete like any other.
Snap guides
While you drag, cards align to the edges of their neighbours and a violet guide shows the match. Hold ⌘ to move freely. Marquee-select a group and move or resize all of it at once.
Hands on the keys, not the mouse.
Most of what you do on a board has a shortcut, and they are the ones your fingers already know from every other Mac app.
Keyboard shortcuts
Undo, duplicate, copy style, edit, delete: all from the keyboard, so a board stays fast once you know it.
