Boards, research & planning

Make a shortlist of anything — then share it with your people

Save anything, decide together

Comparing doctors, contractors, apartments, cars, or daycares? Paste every link into one list, add your notes, and share it with your spouse, family, or a friend so you can decide together — without a group-chat scroll or a messy spreadsheet.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Options are scattered across open tabs, texts, and screenshots
  • You and your partner are researching the same thing in two different places
  • Spreadsheets are overkill and nobody opens them on their phone

What you get

Paste any link

Save listings, reviews, profiles, and product pages with a preview — from any site.

Notes & topics

Add pros, cons, and prices, then sort options into Top picks, Maybe, and Ruled out.

Share privately

Send one unlisted link to your spouse or family — no account needed to view or add.

Decide together

Everyone adds options and comments in one place instead of the group chat.

What can I save?
Anything with a URL — doctor profiles, contractor sites, apartment listings, car pages, reviews, or plain-text notes.
