Hi Product Hunt! I'm Alexander, a 3D designer, and I work with a team of product designers.
Between us we save a lot of references: screenshots, Behance shots, renders, fonts, Blender files. Ours ended up spread across Downloads, old Figma pages and a paid app that had no idea what a .blend file is. I wanted one place for all of it that also understands 3D, and that's how Oddments started.
You paste a picture with Ctrl+V (from a browser, Figma or a screenshot) or save it with the browser extension. Later you find it by what's in it ("a hand holding headphones"), by colour or by the text on it. The AI models run on your computer, so the pictures stay there too, and the same goes for background removal and ×2/×4 upscaling.
The 3D side is where it differs most from other reference apps. It opens GLB, OBJ, FBX, USDZ and .blend files, checks meshes, unwraps UVs, keeps a material library, turns SVG icons into clean quad meshes and bakes Gaussian splats from models. A Blender add-on and a Figma plugin move files both ways.
It's free and MIT-licensed, with no account and no telemetry. The library is a plain folder with an index.json, so your files are yours to take anywhere. If you're coming from Eagle, your folders, tags and notes come along; PureRef boards bring their pictures.
What do you keep in your reference library that most apps handle badly? For me it was .blend files.
