Schizo

A private, offline corkboard app. Pin notes, links, images, and videos to an infinite canvas and connect them with physically-simulated string.

No cloud. No accounts. All data lives in a local SQLite file on your machine.

Features

• Infinite canvas — pan and zoom freely; cork board aesthetic
• Item types — notes, links (with OG preview), images, screenshots, YouTube/Vimeo videos
• String connections — connect any two items with colored string; Verlet rope physics with catenary shape
• Multiple boards — sidebar to create and switch between boards
• Nested boards — embed a board inside another as a portal item
• Board templates — Cold Case, Research, Mood Board, or start blank
• Full-text search — ⌘K searches notes, links, images, and videos across all boards
• Undo/redo — 50-step history
• Item locking — right-click to lock items in place
• Export — save any board as a PNG
• AI assistant — local Ollama integration; your model, your machine, no cloud
• PWA — installable in-browser, works offline
