Aetherboard
One infinite whiteboard that lives on your Mac.
A$49.00
An infinite whiteboard that lives on your Mac and works with the power off.
Your thinking should not need a login
Most whiteboard tools are somebody else's website with your ideas inside it. You pay every month to keep looking at your own work, and the day you stop paying, the work goes behind a wall.
Aetherboard is an application on your machine. Boards are folders. Images are files. You can open them in Finder, back them up the way you back up anything else, and read the source if you want to know what it is doing with them.
What it is like to use
One canvas that does not end. Drop images onto it, write on it, push things around until the arrangement means something. No pages, no artboards, no document you have to name before you are allowed to think.
It opens instantly because there is nothing to load. It works on a plane, in a field, and on hotel wifi that cannot fetch anything.
What you get
The Mac application, offline, yours permanently — not a subscription that lapses. Twelve months of updates from the day you buy. The board files in a format you can read without the app. And the source, so nothing about it is a black box.
The first hundred owners pay $49 once. After that it is $99. There is a trial that runs in a desktop browser if you would rather try the canvas before deciding.
Questions
- Is this a subscription?
- No. You pay once and keep the application. Twelve months of updates are included from the day you buy.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. It is an application on your machine, not a website. Nothing needs to be fetched for it to open, and nothing is sent anywhere for it to work.
- Where are my boards stored?
- In folders on your own computer. A board is a folder and the images inside it are ordinary files, so you can open them, move them and back them up without the app.
- Which computers does it run on?
- The owned application is Mac and works offline. The trial runs in a desktop browser; phone and tablet layouts are not promised.
Build what you’ve been putting off.
Solve a problem that keeps coming back. Learn to build with AI. Or start with a course, app or tool I have already made.
AI can help you do more. You still decide what is good.
AI can handle work that repeats and help turn an idea into a first version. You decide what matters. I help you build it.
