What LibreMoodboards is
LibreMoodboards is a free, open-source moodboard app for Windows, built with Electron. A board can hold images, GIFs, videos, and audio such as music or sound effects, with text notes and bookmarks for context. Files can be placed freely rather than following a prescribed organization method. The project says there are no accounts or cloud service and that content stays local. It describes the app as free, without subscriptions, microtransactions, or paywalls, and licenses it under GPLv3; the project says modifications and forks must also 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, and the executable can run without installation. The README also gives npm install and npm run build commands for building from source. The project welcomes issues and pull requests and recommends discussing large changes in an issue first. It states the license but makes no security or compliance claims.
