boardCache Clipper

Clip selections, images and pages into boardCache: the desktop app on this computer, or your account.

boardCache Clipper sends what you find on the web to your boards. boardCache is an infinite canvas for the things you collect while you think: images, video, documents, notes, links and whole webpages, arranged where you can see them. The clipper is the fastest way to get something from a webpage onto a board without leaving the page. WHAT YOU CAN CLIP • Any image. Right-click it and pick a board. The picture itself is saved, not a link to it. • A text selection. Right-click it and it becomes a note, with a line naming the page it came from. • A page or a link. It becomes a link card on the board. Feeds become live feed boxes, and videos from the usual hosts become playable embeds. • A page element. Clip Page Element highlights whatever is under your cursor, like a developer tool. Click to clip it: images are saved as images, anything else as its text. • The whole page, with the toolbar button. The clipper reads the page and chooses the best form: a long article is saved as text, a video as a playable embed, a Wikipedia article as a live page, anything else as a titled link. • Instagram posts, carousels, reels and stories. The actual media is captured, every slide of a carousel and videos in full, with a progress pill on the page while it runs. WHERE CLIPS GO Each clip can be aimed at a specific board, or at your inbox. Right-click actions list your boards in a submenu. Clips arrive in the app as a badged inbox button on the board: add each one, dismiss it, or add them all. Clips aimed at a board appear the next time you open it. TWO WAYS TO CONNECT • The boardCache desktop app on this computer. Free, no account. Clips travel over your own computer to the app and never leave it. The app has to be open to receive them. • Your boardCache account. Clips wait in your account's inbox and reach every device you sign in on. This needs a Personal or Team plan. Fill in either one, or both. When both are set, the desktop app is used whenever it is open and your account the rest of the time. PRIVACY The clipper asks for no site access when you install it. On first use it asks for access to your boardCache server or the desktop app, and clipping an image from a site asks for that site the first time, from your click. The token you give it can create clips and read your board names, nothing else: it cannot open your boards or read what is on them. Items are created inside the app, so boards you have locked stay locked. Documentation and the desktop app are at boardcache.com.
