Overview
Each board is a single-screen workspace. Arrange your layout freely—Thoughtogram won't auto-jiggle your cards.
Your Home Board
Your Home Board is your base. You will see this first each time you log in. You can also always get back to it by the bread crumb link or from the All Boards button.
This is a great place to place some of your favourite website links. It is handy to create board links here so you can build your boards from a central location for easy navigation.
You can add your favourite quotes and affirmations if you want.
You can also jot down ideas and quick notes and arrange them how you want along with quick to do lists.
Styling a Board
Change the background wallpaper of your current board by clicking on the Backgrounds button and selecting the background you want.
Creating a Card
There are 2 ways to create a new card on a Board.
You can simply double click anywhere on the board where you want a new card and it will appear there.
You can drag a border of an existing card. A line will come out from the border. If you drop in an empty space then a new card connected to the original card will appear.
Styling a Card
To change the colour of the card background drag a colour from the colour bar and drop it onto the card.
To change the colour of the card border: drag a colour from the colour bar and drop it onto the card border.
Resizing a Card
Card Height resizes automatically based on the content in the card.
To adjust the Card Width click the card to put it in focus. The right margin can then be dragged to adjust the width.
Deleting a Card
Drag the trashcan symbol 🗑️ from the toolbar to the card you want to delete and drop it. (This will also delete any connecting lines attached to the card.)
Clone, Move & Copy Cards
Clone a Card
Drag the clone symbol 🧬 from the toolbar onto a card to create an exact duplicate of it on the same board.
(Moving and copying cards to other boards is a Pro Feature that unlocks alongside unlimited boards.)
Creating a Link to a Website
In a card type: https:// and then the domain etc of the website. When you click away from the card the link will be created with a favicon.
Or click the Web Link button in the toolbar and the https:// will be typed in for you.
Or copy and paste a web link into the card. Make sure the https:// is included.
Images & Videos
Adding Images
Drag an image URL from another website and drop it onto your board. Thoughtogram will automatically display the image inside a new card.
Click on an image to select it. When selected, a size slider will appear in the toolbar. Use it to resize the image. You can also rotate the image using the rotate button ↻.
Adding YouTube Videos
Drag a YouTube link from your browser and drop it onto your board. The video will be embedded and playable directly on your board.
Click on the video once to start playing. The video will pause automatically when you move your mouse away.
Toggle Video Display
If you prefer a compact link instead of an embedded video, drag the video toggle symbol ▶️ from the toolbar onto the video. It will convert to a simple link with favicon.
To convert a YouTube link back to an embedded video, drag the ▶️ symbol onto the link.
Icons
Click the Icons button in the toolbar to open the icon library with over 5000 icons.
Use the search box to find icons by name (e.g., "heart", "star", "home").
Click on an icon to place it on your board. You can then drag it to position it wherever you like.
Styling Icons
Click on an icon to select it. When selected:
Use the size slider in the toolbar to resize the icon.
Use the rotate button ↻ to rotate the icon by 45 degrees.
Drag a colour from the colour bar onto the icon to change its colour.
Text Formatting
You can easily add emphasis to your text. When you click to edit a card, the toolbar will change to show formatting options.
Bold & Italic
Simply highlight the text you want to change and click the B for Bold or I for Italic button.
Text Alignment
Click the Center button to center your text. Click it again to return to left alignment.
Text Size
