Infinite Canvas for your ideas

Reference Board is a native mood board app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Collect images, videos, quotes, and notes on an infinite canvas, with iCloud sync across devices. Search goes beyond filenames with Apple Intelligence, generated descriptions, tags, colors, and visual feel. Private by design. Simple on the surface. Quietly powerful underneath.











Reference Board
I built Reference Board because I wanted a native mood board app that felt simple, elegant, and out of the way.
Most tools either pile on features or turn the whole process into admin. I wanted something that keeps the focus on the content, syncs across devices, stays private, and quietly does the helpful work in the background with auto-tagging, generated descriptions, and metadata.
No subscription. No clutter. Just a better place to collect and shape inspiration.
It’s still early, and I’d love feedback. If there’s a feature you wish existed, tell me.
Hey Meta
Congrats on the launch, this looks amazing 🙌
Do you have any plans for a safari/browser extension to automate adding from web? For example I now use Pinterest for gathering inspiration and have boards like this there, but it'd be nice to have a board locally to reference since the app just works faster, so something like an "Add to board" feature would be amazing 🙂

@curiousigor That’s such a good idea. A browser extension (Safari with Chrome coming soon) is already part of the app, and I definitely have bigger plans for it.
Pinterest board support is a really interesting direction too. Bringing that kind of inspiration into Reference Board in a smart way feels very aligned with where I want to take it. I just need to look into what Pinterest allows so I can do it in the right way and stay within their terms.
Also, I’m shipping a new version later today with YouTube support, so you’ll be able to copy and paste YouTube videos directly into your boards.
Thanks again for sharing this. I really appreciate it.

@maya_elor At this stage, it’s mostly about organize inspiration, but there are already some fun ways it can help spark new ideas too.
You can search across your images and videos by things like color or topic, then pull those results into new boards. And the widget can resurface saved inspiration on your desktop or home screen, which is a nice way to rediscover things you haven’t seen in a while.
