RefRo

macOS roadmap

Research that stays useful after you save it.

RefRo is focused on preserving where an image came from, why it mattered, and how it should move into mood boards, reference cards, and presentations.

Building now

The first Mac release

Source-aware research library

Keep page addresses, notes, tags, product details, and context attached to every saved reference.

Mood boards and presentations

Turn research into automatic grids, freeform layouts, reference cards, and presentation-ready pages.

Apple Intelligence assistance

Use on-device visual context and supported system models to create concise, editable reference names.

Next

Release readiness and depth

Stronger research capture

Improve browser, drag-and-drop, photo-picker, and file imports when websites provide incomplete information.

Presentation editing and export

Polish page controls, captions, alignment, page sizes, PDFs, and presentation-ready output.

Source completeness checks

Surface references that need a source, note, credit, or other missing context before they are shared.

Exploring

Directions under consideration

RefRo mobile companion

A focused iPhone companion for collecting references, preserving sources, and reviewing research away from the full Mac workspace.

Reusable research formats

Save useful board and page structures for recurring project types without flattening the underlying research.

Structured product research

Better support for dimensions, materials, vendors, pricing notes, and other product-specific context.

Foli handoff

Carry selected references into a creative project while preserving where the research originated.

Roadmaps describe direction, not guaranteed features or dates. Priorities may change as each app is tested and the underlying work becomes clearer.

What should this app solve next?

Explain the recurring problem or interruption. Suggestions enter a private review queue and never appear publicly without review.

Submissions are private. They are reviewed before anything appears on the public roadmap, and submitting an idea does not promise a feature or release date.
