the pinterest-like layout makes the positioning a little unpredictable, but the trade-off between control and beauty is inherent to the style.Photo Supreme makes integration with your favorite photo editing tools seaminglessly. when you have tags, there’s no reason to worry about those things anyway, so it would be nice to be able to just drag them to reposition. sorting relies on filenames and dates, but there’s no way to manipulate them from inside the app. image credits (title, author, year) could be clearly labeled with exif tags instead of generic ones. if it used finder tags instead of its own database, it would make it possible to search from outside the app. live folders would make it even more flexible. if the image folder mirrored the app’s two level structure, it would make it simple to browse them anywhere, either from the finder or apps that don’t touch the file structure like plex, for example. ![]() i like the fact that the developers didn't attempt a subscription model, it makes no sense for this kind of tool. ![]() I will update my star rating pending future improvements/enhancements. Four stars for what it does based on what it appears to be designed for (not for what it should be in my or other user's minds). And frankly, there are not many alternatives out there. With Ember no longer under development, Inboard is a good start for a simple digital scrapbook app that not only performs well but also lets users quickly work with their inspirational source captures. * Cloud sync (which appears to be in the works).ĭespite these shortcomings, I decided to purchase Inboard after a few days of using the trial version (available from the developer’s website). * Support for multiple libraries (icing on the cake) * Some basic annotation tools/features, so one can mark up a screenshot currently there are none (you can open a screenshot with an like Preview but the changes won’t be saved back to Inboard automatically you have to save and drag the shot back into the library. * Support for Smart Folder and Live Folder options. * Tabbed sidebar, so the Library and Folders can reside on one tab, and Tags can live on the other tab (similar to the Together app does) currently, Folders and Tags appear together this can get messy if you have many tags and folders. * More default capture options this version only provides “click and drag” area screenshot capture and full-page web snap options adding Capture Window and Capture Fullscreen options to the Inboard Helper menu (which sits only a click away in your menu bar) would be nice. For example, the following enhancements/additions would be nice: That said, there certainly is room for improvement. Performance is great, even with a few hundred images, scrolling is smooth and rendering is near immediate (and I’ve seen users comment in forums that performance is consistent with even larger libraries). Inboard does a few things, and it does them well: take full page web captures and screen shots and enable you to organize them by tags and in folders in a Pinterest-like layout, that is, images are displayed in full height, which makes for a nice browsing/(re)discovery experience. This is no longer of use to me and I'm going to remove it from my system.ĭon’t think of this app as a replacement for your image library it’s a digital scrapbook app it has been designed with simplicity in mind to help you quickly capture inspiring visual ideas (and it probably will never have close to the feature set that the discontinued Ember had or Pixave currently has, so don’t compare it to those apps). Web page capture is temperamental at best in Catalina ![]() As others, I have provided user feedback and UX improvement suggestions, but the developer team doesn't listen. This app appears to have become abandonware.įour years ago, this was a promsing start four years later, not much has changed.
