Frequently Asked Questions

What is inboard?

inboard eliminates the artificial boundaries between spreadsheets and documents that waste your time and fragment your thinking. We've built the first truly integrated workspace where your data, text, and visuals live together naturally—the way you actually think about your work.

Unlike traditional office software that forces you to hop between applications, copy-paste information, and manually reformat your work, inboard fuses spreadsheets and documents into a single, fluid experience backed by powerful AI.

Key features:

  • True integration: Edit data anywhere—in sheets or in pages—and watch your entire document update instantly
  • Interactive thinking: Test scenarios in real-time with visual controls that bring your data to life
  • Intelligent design: Our engine helps you with alignment and layout so that you can focus on your content, not formatting
  • AI that actually works: Create complete spreadsheets with functioning formulas, draft compelling presentations, refine your writing, review analyses and more with an assistant built directly into your workflow

inboard isn't just another productivity app — it's a fundamental rethinking of how office software should work in 2025 and beyond.

Available as powerful desktop software, inboard delivers the performance and reliability professionals demand without compromise.

How can I share my work with others?

You can share your work in Inboard through multiple methods, depending on your needs:

  • Interactive Sharing:
    • Use our free inboard viewer, which allows others to view and interact with your document without requiring an inboard account.
    • Publish your document to the web and share the link. Published documents are read-only and do not require the inboard viewer for access. You can also enable password protection for added security.
  • Static File Export:
    • Export your work in legacy formats such as PDF, XLSX, and DOCX to share static versions with anyone.

This way, you can choose between modern, interactive collaboration or traditional, static formats—whichever best fits your audience.

Does it run in the browser or is it a desktop app?

inboard is a powerful desktop application designed for Windows and Mac. We prioritize the speed, performance, and seamless experience that only a native desktop app can provide when working with data and documents—no browser or internet connection required.

That said, we provide viewing capabilities across various devices, including browsers and mobile.
