§ 01 · The app

Accent on what matters. Nothing extra. No clutter.

ShainBox main view — sidebar with boards, masonry reference grid, details panel
§ 02 · Why

Built for capture, not collection management. Every pixel earns its place.

01 / CAPTURE

Drag, drop, or shortcut.

Global hotkey grabs a file from the clipboard or a drop zone. Automatic deduplication via content hash — the same reference never gets saved twice.

02 / STORE

Files, not a database.

Boards are folders on your disk. Create a board in the app — a folder appears. Drop a file into the folder — it shows up in the app. Want it on another computer? Put your library inside Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Optional. Not required.

Finder window showing ShainBox library — boards as plain folders, plus .shainbox-config
03 / FIND

Search what you remember, not what you tagged.

Local AI indexing means you can search "blue gradient login screen" and find it — even if you never tagged it. Auto-sort moves Inbox items into the right boards on its own.

§ 03 · Pricing
