# JayBoard

JayBoard is a private visual library. A Chrome extension captures images, videos, links and whole
pages from anywhere on the web; a hosted library keeps them as real files, organized into projects,
tagged and described by AI, searchable in full text, and arranged on infinite moodboards.

It is a paid, hosted product. There is no feed, no social layer and no algorithm: an account holds
one person's own material and nobody else can read it.

## What it does

- Capture: an on-page overlay (Alt+Shift+S) selects several images or videos at once; one-click mode
  (Alt+Shift+D) sends whatever is clicked straight to the active project; a right-click saves one
  image, video or link; the extension popup bookmarks a page with a screenshot, saves it as one
  self-contained HTML file, or records the tab.
- Organize: projects, tags, tag hotkeys, and AI annotation that writes tags, a description, or both.
- Find: full-text search over titles, tags, descriptions, notes, addresses, filenames and the text of
  archived pages, plus filters by type and tag and a choice of sort order.
- Arrange: infinite moodboards with cards, notes, text, frames and connectors, exported as PNG or SVG.

## Documentation

### Get started

- [What JayBoard is](https://jayboard.com/docs/get-started/what-is-jayboard): A private visual library — what it captures, where it keeps things, and who can read them.
- [Create your account](https://jayboard.com/docs/get-started/create-your-account): Sign up with an email address or with Google, choose a plan, and find your way around.
- [Install the extension](https://jayboard.com/docs/get-started/install-the-extension): Add JayBoard to Chrome, connect it to your account, and set the two keyboard shortcuts.
- [Your first capture](https://jayboard.com/docs/get-started/your-first-capture): The three ways to save something from a page, and where it lands when you do.
- [Where to save from](https://jayboard.com/docs/get-started/where-to-save-from): Wells is our list of sites worth drawing on — filterable by subject, and linkable once you have filtered it.

### Library, tags and boards

- [Projects](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/projects): The one place an item lives — how to make projects, move things between them, and set what each one does on its own.
- [Adding items from the app](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/adding-items): Upload files, save an address, drop, or paste — the ways in that do not involve the extension.
- [Tags](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/tags): Add tags by hand or by hotkey, rename and remove them in bulk, and find what has none.
- [AI annotation](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/ai-annotation): Let Claude write tags and descriptions — on one item, on a selection, or on everything a project takes in.
- [Search and filters](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/search-and-filters): Full-text search over everything you saved, plus filters by type and tag and a choice of order.
- [The viewer](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/the-viewer): One item, full size, with everything attached to it — and the keys to move through a library without a mouse.
- [Moodboards](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/moodboards): An infinite canvas per board — cards, notes, frames and connectors, exported as PNG or SVG.
- [Keyboard shortcuts](https://jayboard.com/docs/library/keyboard-shortcuts): Every key JayBoard uses, in one place — the browser, the grid, the viewer and the board.

## Changelog

- [A panel for tags](https://jayboard.com/changelog/tag-panel) — 7 September 2026: The tag filter leaves the toolbar for a panel on the right, with every tag in scope, its item count, and a list that holds still while you pick.
- [One-click capture](https://jayboard.com/changelog/one-click-capture) — 1 September 2026: A second capture mode where a click is the whole interaction, plus an overlay that stays put while the page moves under it.
- [Annotate, and a welcome that gets you saving](https://jayboard.com/changelog/annotate) — 21 August 2026: The AI pass became a menu you can aim and stop, bookmarks now read the pages they point at, and a new account gets three steps instead of an empty grid.

## Blog

- [Wells — where we save from](https://jayboard.com/blog/introducing-wells) — 2 September 2026: A curated list of 83 sites worth drawing on, filterable by subject and linkable once filtered. The answer to an empty library.
- [JayBoard vs Karakeep](https://jayboard.com/blog/jayboard-vs-karakeep) — 31 August 2026: Both save what you find on the web, and they are not the same tool. One keeps a library you read; the other keeps one you look at.
- [Introducing JayBoard](https://jayboard.com/blog/introducing-jayboard) — 23 August 2026: A private visual library for the images, videos and pages you find on the web — captured in a click, described by AI, and arranged on a canvas.

## Notes for agents

- JayBoard has no public API. Everything under /api/ on the app host needs a signed-in session and is
  not documented for third-party use.
- The extension is Chrome-only (Manifest V3, Chrome 120 or newer).
- Prices and plan limits are on the pricing section of the landing page, and are not repeated in the
  documentation so that they cannot disagree with what a card is charged: https://jayboard.com/#pricing
- This file is generated from the same source the documentation is, so every link above resolves.
