ProjectBoard

ProjectBoard โ€” projects, tasks, notes, and files in one place. Everything a project needs lives together: the tasks, the notes, the files, and the conversation. No more scattering one project across four apps. PLAN YOUR DAY, NOT JUST YOUR LIST Drag a task onto the calendar to block time for it. Let Plan My Day pack your tasks into the gaps you actually have free โ€” it reads your real calendar, so it schedules around meetings instead of pretending they don't exist. Start a focus session and work a block at a time. TASKS THAT MATCH HOW YOU THINK Subtasks for the steps. #tags across projects. Saved smart lists for the views you return to. An Inbox that catches anything you haven't sorted yet. WRITES THE BORING PARTS FOR YOU โ€” ON DEVICE Smart Fill turns a sentence into a task with the right date, project, and priority. Your Daily Brief tells you what matters this morning. Smart Inbox Triage sorts what piled up. Search understands what you meant, not just what you typed. It runs on your device. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN A genuine Mac app โ€” split view, menu bar commands, keyboard shortcuts throughout. iPhone and iPad. An Apple Watch app for checking off work from your wrist. Home and Lock Screen widgets you can tap to complete a task. Shortcuts and voice for capture without opening anything. FILES WHERE YOU EXPECT THEM A ProjectBoard folder in Finder and the Files app, syncing both ways. Open documents straight in from Finder, or share them in from any app. Annotate with inline markup. BUILT FOR WORKING TOGETHER Share a project, chat alongside the work, and watch tasks and notes update live as your team moves. START FASTER Seven built-in project templates, or build your own with tasks that schedule themselves relative to your start date or deadline.

Tri Clipper saves web pages into your own Trilium server, straight from Safari. It reads the article, drops the navigation and the clutter around it, and files what is left as a proper Trilium note: HTML, with the title, author, publication date and address already attached as labels. WHAT YOU CAN CLIP โ€ข The article, found for you โ€ข Only what you selected โ€ข Passages you highlighted, and nothing else โ€ข The whole page โ€ข A link with its description, when the page itself is not worth keeping TEMPLATES A template decides four things: where the note goes, what it is called, which labels it carries, and what its body looks like. Give a template the sites it should claim, and clipping from those sites picks it by itself. Titles and labels are written with variables โ€” the page title, its author, the publication date, any meta tag, any JSON-LD field, or the text of any element you name. Filters shape them: format a date, take the first author out of a list, cut a long title down to size. HIGHLIGHTS Turn on highlight mode, mark the passages worth keeping, and clip those. Clip the same page again later and the new passages join the note you already made, instead of starting a second one. BEFORE ANYTHING IS SENT The popup shows the note that is about to be written: the real title, the real labels, the real body, rendered. Change any of them there and that is what Trilium receives. YOUR SERVER, YOUR NOTES Point it at your own Trilium and paste an ETAPI token. That is the only place anything is ever sent. There is no account to make, no service in between, and nothing is collected. ON MAC, IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers all three. The Mac version puts a button in Safari's toolbar; on iPhone and iPad the clipper lives in Safari's page menu. Templates and settings are entered per device. REQUIREMENTS A Trilium server with ETAPI enabled that the device can reach. Built and tested against Trilium 0.105. A server on your own network can be plain http; one reached from further away โ€” which is what a phone away from home needs โ€” has to be https. Tri Clipper is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Trilium project.
