Plans
In their own words
Kanvaz
Kanvaz is an offline reference board for VFX and 3D artists, as well as anyone who collects and connects visual material. Its infinite canvas can hold 3D models, images, GIFs, video, audio, notes, colors, URLs and file pointers. Supported 3D models can be orbited live, viewed in different shading modes and played with animation; previewing .blend files requires Blender. Seven kinds of typed relationships link references, which users can explore as a graph in Map View. A single card can appear on multiple boards, with edits carried across those appearances. An optional MCP Bridge lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code read and change the active board over local IPC, and those changes enter undo history. Kanvaz supports plugins for card types, commands, themes and other features; its maker says creators can sell plugins without a marketplace cut. Boards are stored locally in .kanvaz ZIP containers with embedded assets and SHA-256 integrity hashes. The maker says there are no accounts, telemetry or cloud storage, and network requests are user initiated. Kanvaz is free forever, MIT licensed and available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Moodis
Moodis is a visual mood board tool for artists who collect, arrange and refine creative references. Its infinite canvas lets users pan and zoom, place images freely or snap them to a grid, and resize, rotate and layer them. Keyboard shortcuts support editing, and users can create unlimited boards, move between them and export a board as PNG or JPEG. The desktop app works offline and stores boards and images on the user's machine; cloud sync is optional. Pro adds web access, cloud sync and shareable board links, while Team adds real-time collaborative editing. Free is €0/forever for personal, non-commercial use. Pro costs €5/mo and includes 99 GB cloud storage; Team costs €50/mo and includes three users and 999 GB storage. Cloud-account images are encrypted at rest and stored in the European Union. Moodis is in beta, and features may change. Downloads are available for Windows 10 or later and Linux x86_64; macOS is listed as coming soon.
