Our biggest update yet is now live, and it is packed with improvements. Because we have reworked some parts of the sync, you should update to the latest version of visualOS and reload your browser tab.
If you like our work, please consider supporting us with an honest review in the App Store or on AlternativeTo. This helps us the most. And if you find something that does not work as expected, please write to us directly!
New Color Swatches, Folder Icons, and Tables
You can now create proper color swatches for palettes and moodboards, and we’ve added tables so you can organize information more clearly right on the board. Choose from over 290+ icons to customize your folders.
Bring your own fonts, captions, and free arrows.
Choose from our selection of custom fonts or bring your own! Images can have captions now, and arrows no longer need to connect to anything — you can place them freely wherever they make sense.
Document & PDF preview cards
Documents and PDFs can now appear as real preview cards on the board. But of course you can choose if you want to display them as normal icons.
A more robust sync
We originally built the sync for our own needs — mainly an occasional sync between our iPhones and Macs. But you guys really stress-tested it and started using it across all kinds of device combinations, so we completely reworked the sync engine. The result is a noticeably more reliable experience when you move between phone, tablet, and desktop. So please update all your devices to our newest version!
Besides that, there are many more quality of life improvements, such as UX basics, shortcuts, and snap to grid (CMD+Shift), thanks to your contribution and feature requests on our roadmap.
