Papaly is a tool for saving and organizing links ("bookmarks").

Bookmarks are organized into collections called Boards. You can have any number of boards. Each bookmark belongs to a category within the board.

A Papaly board can either be public or private. If it's private, the board can be seen by its creator, co-owners, and anyone you share the private link with. If it's public, it can be accessed via a URL and is visible to anyone.

Papaly allows you to...

1. Quickly find your bookmarks in a beautiful 2-D layout
2. Securely save your bookmarks online and keep them in-sync across devices
3. Easily share a collection of bookmarks with someone by sending them a link to a public Papaly board
