Since we got Boords, we haven't looked back! We'd been working with custom PDF templates and we knew there had to be a better way, and we found it! It's intuitive, it's visually pleasing, and it's saved us a hell of a lot of time.
Before Boords, tracking feedback was a mess. With Boords we've got versioning, commenting, and presenting all in one place. It helps us with client communication so much.

11 years
Independent software built by creative professionals since 2015
We built Boords because pre-production was broken
I'm James, founder of Boords. Before this, I co-founded Animade, an animation studio in London.
Back then, we built storyboards in Photoshop. Or Google Slides. Or InDesign. Whatever got the job done. But tracking versions was a nightmare. "FinalFinal_v3_USE_THIS.pdf"... you know the drill.
Client notes lived in email threads. Nobody could find the version we'd actually locked. Every storyboard looked different because we were rebuilding templates from scratch each time, manually reordering frames, fiddling with layouts. We'd waste hours on formatting instead of ideas.
So in 2015, I built the first version of Boords to fix it. Consistent boards every time. Notes in context, not buried in inboxes. One link to share, and no more guessing which version got approved.
11 years and over 2 million storyboards later, Boords is still independent, still small, and still built around one idea: pre-production should be where you do your best thinking, not where you lose hours to process.

Connect preproduction to the rest of your stack
Boords holds the scripts, storyboards and sign-offs. Claude, ChatGPT, Slack and your own systems plug into them, so the work stays in one place and the updates reach everyone.
MCP server
Work in Boords from Claude and ChatGPT
Ask for a storyboard from a script folder, a review link for the client, or tasks from their notes. It lands in Boords with your permissions.
Slack
Client notes, straight to your DMs
Mentions, replies and comments on boards you follow arrive as Slack direct messages, each with a link back to the frame.
Public API
Build storyboards from your own pipeline
Create projects, import scripts, update frames, manage comments, and keep storyboard data moving between Boords and the tools your team already uses.
Webhooks
React the moment work changes
Send signed event notifications to your services when projects, storyboards, frames, or comments change, then process updates without polling.
