I chose Refbox because it’s extremely simple, fast, and focused. It gives me floating reference windows without the extra clutter or learning curve. The drag-and-drop importing, support for images/GIFs/videos, and the clean gallery view make it feel effortless compared to other tools. It’s exactly what I needed for a smooth creative workflow.

Refbox is fantastic because it makes working with references so much easier and more organized. I love how I can pin images, GIFs, videos, and even notes on top of any window without switching tabs. The floating windows stay exactly where I need them, and the masonry gallery helps me quickly browse all my references in one place. It’s lightweight, fast, and perfect for creative workflows like drawing, designing, or planning ideas.Features I like:Floating windows that stay on topSupport for images, GIFs, videos, and linksMarkdown notesClean, minimal interfaceMasonry-style reference galleryQuick drag-and-drop importing Adding cloud sync so references stay the same across devicesBetter tagging or folders for large collectionsOptional dark/light theme switchingAbility to resize multiple reference windows at once
