Free, open-source, 100% offline reference board for VFX and 3D artists.
Verified against Kanvaz v9.7.0.
A Shared Card is the same card, live-linked across multiple boards in
the same .kanvaz file — edit it in one place, the change shows up
everywhere it’s shared. Useful for a reference asset (a color palette,
a hero shot, a spec sheet) that’s relevant to more than one board
without keeping duplicate copies in sync by hand.
Right-click a card → Share to Board…, pick the target board. The card gets a visible “shared” badge on every board it’s linked from. Sharing to the currently-active board, or to a board that doesn’t exist, is refused with a clear reason rather than silently doing nothing.
Right-click a shared card → Unlink turns it back into its own independent copy on that board only — other boards it’s still shared with are unaffected.
Shared content lives in a small content registry at the file level
(distinct from any one board’s own cards[]), keyed by a shared ID.
Each board holds a lightweight instance pointing at that ID, with its
own independent position — moving a shared card on one board doesn’t
move it on another, only its content is linked. Deleting the last
board instance that references a shared ID prunes the now-unused
registry entry automatically.
