LibreMoodboards
What it is
LibreMoodboards is a free, open-source moodboard application for Windows, built with Electron. It brings images, GIFs, videos, and audio such as music or sound effects into one board, alongside text notes and bookmarks. Files can be arranged freely instead of following a required organization method. The app has no accounts or cloud service, and the project says everything remains local. It is completely free, with no subscriptions, microtransactions, or paywalls. LibreMoodboards is released under GPLv3, and modifications and forks must remain open source. The latest listed release is v1.0.0, described as the initial release. That release includes a portable Windows executable and source code; the executable runs without installation. The README also provides npm install and npm run build commands for building from source. The project welcomes issues and pull requests and recommends discussing larger changes in an issue first.
