Welcome to CleverBoard: Your Personal Productivity Command Center

CleverBoard is designed to simplify your digital life by bringing your most important data into one beautiful, customizable dashboard. Whether you are using it as a Windows app or a Chrome New Tab extension, this guide will show you how to master your board.

1. The Core Experience: Your First Board

When you first launch CleverBoard, you are presented with a clean workspace. Think of this as your "digital desktop" where you can pin essential tools.

• The Grid: Widgets are displayed in variable-sized squares; it can grow and shrink according to the window's size.

• Real-Time Sync: On the Windows version, your board stays active on your desktop, giving you live updates on your system and goals.

2. Adding & Managing Widgets

The heart of CleverBoard is the Widget Gallery.

How to add a widget:

1. Locate the (+) Add Button (typically in the corner or sidebar).

2. Choose from built-in essentials like:

   • Clock & Calendar: Keep track of your schedule at a glance.

   • Battery Monitor: (Windows Specific) Monitor your laptop's health and charge level.

   • Stopwatch & Timers: Perfect for Pomodoro sessions or tracking tasks.

Customizing your layout:

• Move: Click and hold the header of any widget to drag it to a new spot.

• Resize: Use the handle in the bottom-right corner to stretch or shrink widgets.

• Settings: Hover over a widget to reveal the Gear Icon, where you can change colors, formats, or behaviors.

3. For Power Users: The JavaScript Widget Engine

This is CleverBoard's most unique feature. If a widget doesn't exist, you can build it.

To create a custom widget:

1. Open the Gallery and select Custom Widget.

2. In the editor, you can write or paste code to fetch data from the web (like stock prices or weather).

3. Your code runs in a sandboxed environment that supports standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, meaning you can design your widget to look exactly how you want.

4. Tips for Success

• Stay Focused: Don't clutter your board. Start with the 3 widgets you use most often.

• Keyboard Shortcuts: In the Windows app, use standard window management shortcuts to keep your board side-by-side with your work.

• Check for Updates: We frequently add new built-in widgets to the gallery based on user feedback.

Troubleshooting & Support

• Widgets not loading? Ensure you have an active internet connection for widgets that fetch online data.

• Need a custom snippet? Visit our developer documentation to find copy-paste code for news tickers, crypto trackers, and more.
