Refbox – A floating workspace for managing visual references

Summary: Refbox is a floating reference app that organizes and displays images, videos, GIFs, notes, and links above other applications. It enables users to drag and drop content from the web or desktop into a resizable sidebar and pull individual items onto the desktop for easy access while working.

What it does

Who it's for

It is designed for illustrators, designers, 3D artists, animators, and other visual creators who need constant access to reference materials during their creative process.

Why it matters

Refbox solves the problem of managing scattered visual references by keeping them visible and organized, reducing interruptions and improving workflow efficiency.
