App gallery

Real hosted apps people built on Playbook boards. Open one, or copy its starter prompt and make your own.

For a colourist and their client: the LOG and graded clips play in sync with a draggable wipe between them. Frame-step, loop, and links that carry the timecode.

Product swatch photos float in a rotating 3D sphere at their real colour, and AI search lights up the matches.

A photo gallery over one board: search by meaning, filter by colour and mood, play a slideshow or print a contact sheet.

For studios and teams

Your workflow, minus the busywork​

Everyone has a workflow no off-the-shelf tool quite fits. Describe yours once, and it runs on top of Playbook after.

Frequently asked questions

What’s a hosted app?​

A customizable web app connected to a Playbook workspace and deployed at its own playbookapps.cloud address.

No. Connect an AI agent like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to Playbook and describe the app you want. It writes the files and deploys them for you. If you’d rather write it yourself, an app is a few plain static files with no build step. See the hosted apps guide.

Every asset on the board and its sub-boards, with previews, colors, tags, statuses, custom fields and who uploaded them. It can also run keyword and AI search inside the board. It can’t see anything outside that board.

You choose: anyone with the link, anyone with a password, or only people who can view the board in Playbook. You can switch at any time, and the change takes effect within about a minute, with no rebuild.

Yes, when the board’s share link allows uploads. Files go straight into the board. In an app open only to your workspace, signed-in teammates can also edit titles, statuses, fields and tags, approve assets and leave comments.

Yes. Teams use hosted apps for partner intake forms, asset finders open only to one team, and exports in their company’s sizes. Describe the workflow in one prompt and the app runs on the boards, fields and permissions you already have in Playbook.

In Playbook. An app has no database of its own: it reads the board each time, so adding or editing an asset in Playbook updates the app within a few minutes.

It depends on your Playbook plan (see pricing). Updating an app you already have always works, even if you’re at your limit.
