FlexBoard - Stop searching files. Stay in the flow.

Do you spend half your workday switching between Finder, your browser, and buried folders? Every time you search for that one specific asset or code snippet, your creative focus dies a little. FlexBoard is a visual, shortcut-driven grid that lives in your menu bar (on Mac) and as a system-wide keyboard (on iOS). The philosophy is simple: Muscle memory over search. If your project hex code or your favorite AI prompt is always on 'Tile 3', your brain stops searching and starts acting.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m ‘Joe’, the creator of FlexBoard. As a creator, I noticed a frustrating pattern: I spent half my day 'context-hopping.' Even with tools like Paste or Maccy, I was constantly searching for the same snippets, assets, and folders over and over again. My creative focus was dying in the 'search bar.' I wanted something different. I wanted spatial consistency. FlexBoard is a visual, shortcut-driven grid that lives in your menu bar (on Mac) and as a system-wide keyboard (on iOS). The philosophy is simple: Muscle memory over search. If your project hex code or your favorite AI prompt is always on 'Tile 3', your brain stops searching and starts acting. What’s new: The iOS Keyboard & The AI Workflow I’ve completely re-imagined the iPhone experience. With my new iOS Keyboard Extension, you can bring your tiles directly into any app. Why this matters for the AI Era: With Apple Intelligence coming to iOS and macOS, prompts are quickly becoming our most valuable daily asset. But you shouldn't have to type out complex 'rewrite this as...' prompts or search through Notes apps to find them. FlexBoard acts as your Prompt Command Center. Store your complex system prompts, formatting templates, or frequently used AI instructions as tiles. On your Mac, use a shortcut. On your iPhone, just switch to your FlexBoard keyboard and tap—your prompt fires instantly into ChatGPT, Claude, or Apple's native Intelligence features. Why I built this: • 🚀 Zero Friction: Opt + Space -> Key 3 (or just tap on iOS). No typing, no searching. • 🧠 AI-Ready: Stop re-typing prompts. Store your 'Prompt Engineering' library as an instantly accessible grid. • 🖼️ Visual Clarity: Your brain recognizes shapes and colors faster than file names. • 🔄 iCloud-Sync: Design your layout on your Mac with drag-and-drop, and watch it sync to your iPhone keyboard in seconds. I’d love to hear your feedback! What is the one asset, snippet, or AI prompt you find yourself typing out 50 times a day?

Having my most-used prompts locked into specific tiles is honestly a small joy, and the menu bar placement means I'm never hunting for them mid-thought.

 Thanks for your feedback! Enjoy the little helper and explore his flexibility! Try the iOS keyboard! Gamechanger!

How does this actually sync between Mac and iOS, and is there a limit on how many tiles or boards you can have?
