Cork Board v1.2.0
Cards that carry the whole scene. Cork Board 1.2.0 adds reference images and AI prompts on cards, card transfer between boards, twelve timecoded presets, and project deletion.
New
- Reference images on cards — attach an image to any card and choose how big it shows on the card (S / M / L), so you can read the card and see the shot at a glance. Images are downscaled automatically and stored locally inside the project.
- AI generation prompts on cards — every card now has an AI Prompt field: keep the exact prompt you'll use to generate that scene right on the card, and Copy Prompt puts it on the clipboard in one click. Cards with a prompt show a ✦ AI mark, and prompts ride along in CSV and Share Wall exports.
- Copy or move cards between boards — open any card and use To Board… to copy or move it to another board, with everything intact: paper color, cast, labels, location, due date, reference image, and prompt. (Dragging a card onto a board tab still moves it.)
- Timecoded short-film presets — ten new beat-sheet walls for 1 through 10-minute shorts, Save-the-Cat style but on the clock: every beat card names the exact window of runtime it must own (e.g. "The Turn (0:45–1:21)"), with columns totalled to the runtime.
- Trailer presets — timecoded :30 and :60 trailer walls, from cold open to title card to button-and-date, each beat pinned to its seconds.
- Delete projects and boards — the ⋯ button next to the project menu deletes the current project (with a confirmation); right-click a board tab to delete a board.
macOS — easiest install (recommended)
Open Terminal (⌘-Space, type "Terminal") and paste this one line — it downloads the universal build (Apple Silicon & Intel), installs it to Applications, and opens it, with no security warnings:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wassermanproductions/cork-board/main/install.sh | bash
Which file do I download?
| Your computer | Download | After downloading |
|---|---|---|
| Mac (either kind) | use the one-line installer above, or CorkBoard-macOS-universal.dmg |
See the unsigned-app note below |
| Windows | CorkBoard-Setup.exe (or the portable CorkBoard-Windows-x64.zip) |
If SmartScreen appears: More info → Run anyway |
| Linux | CorkBoard-Linux-x86_64.AppImage (or the .tar.gz) |
AppImage: chmod +x it first |
macOS: "Cork Board is damaged and can't be opened"
If you downloaded the .dmg in your browser instead of using the installer above, macOS quarantines it and shows this misleading message. The app is not damaged — these builds just aren't Apple-notarized yet. Fix in 10 seconds:
- Open the DMG and drag Cork Board into Applications.
- In Terminal, paste:
xattr -cr "/Applications/Cork Board.app" - Open Cork Board from Applications — it launches normally from now on.
Your projects are safe across updates — they live in local app storage, not in the app bundle.
Cork Board v1.1.0
Share the wall, stretch the wall. Cork Board 1.1.0 adds a shareable board format and full layout control.
New
- Share Wall (HTML) — one exported file that does both jobs. Anyone can open it in any browser and print the whole board to pin up for real — no app needed. And any Cork Board user can import that same file (Export → Import) to load the full project and keep working. Find it under Export → Share Wall (HTML).
- Rows wall — a new Wall: Columns / Rows toggle in the board bar. Keep your acts as vertical columns and scroll sideways, or stretch the board horizontally so each act runs as a strip across the wall — like a real cork wall — and scroll down. Drag-and-drop works in both layouts.
- Personal layout defaults — your surface (Cork / Paper / Midnight), card size (S / M / L), and wall layout are remembered automatically and greet you on every launch.
- Import now accepts both project JSON files and Share Wall HTML files.

Cork Board v1.0.0
First public release of Cork Board — the digital cork board for filmmakers. Index cards, acts, arcs, and episodes: pin scenes, drag them between acts, tag characters and locations, track arcs beat by beat, and export the wall as an outline, scene list, Fountain scaffold, or JSON. Works for features, TV, shorts, music videos, commercials, and docs. Fully local-first — no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.
In the box: the board (drag cards, columns, and boards), Outline and Arcs views, cast & world drawer with live insights, multi-board projects, 13 presets (including the fully worked AVA demo feature), due dates with overdue flags, column sort & duplicate, find & filter (including deadline filters), autosave + undo + checkpoints, and Markdown / CSV / Fountain / JSON exports.
