Research with a memory.

RefRo keeps the source, context, and creative decisions attached to every image—then turns your strongest references into presentation-ready mood boards.

For image-led creative work

A reference should remember why it mattered.

RefRo is for designers, artists, researchers, and educators who collect visual material before a project takes shape—and need that research to remain useful once the meeting begins.

01 · Collect and organize

Keep every reference connected.

Bring images in from Safari, Chrome, Finder, or the RefRo Dock icon. Source pages, image addresses, creators, categories, colors, rights, and creative notes stay together so the archive remains useful later.

02 · Research with context

The useful details stay beside the image.

Keep retailer, location, price, currency, product URL, and date checked with product research instead of reconstructing those details when the project moves forward.

03 · Build and present

Move from research to room.

Turn selected references into a multi-page presentation. Begin with an automatic grid or work freely in collage mode, then crop, caption, align, present full screen, or export the pages for collaborators.

Apple Intelligence + on-device Vision

A useful first pass. Never the final word.

RefRo can recognize visual signals and suggest a concise starting name after import. The analysis stays on the Mac, and every suggestion remains editable.

01 · Observe

Find visual signals.

Apple Vision identifies useful subjects, objects, and visual characteristics so a new reference begins with more than its filename.

02 · Suggest

Shape a practical title.

On supported Macs, Apple Intelligence can combine those signals with project context to suggest a concise reference name.

03 · Decide

Keep authorship with you.

You can revise or ignore every suggestion. RefRo does not replace attribution, rights information, or the creative notes only you can provide.

Apple Intelligence is used only when Apple’s on-device system model reports that it is available. Vision-based organization and the rest of RefRo remain usable without it.

What stays connected

Research that remains useful after you save it.

Source capture

Bring images in from Safari, Chrome, Finder, or the Dock icon while keeping useful source addresses and dates.

Reusable archive

Organize projects, folders, categories, favorites, and hero images without separating a reference from its context.

Product research

Keep retailer, location, price, currency, product URL, and date checked beside the visual reference.

Mood boards

Build multi-page automatic grids or freeform collages with crops, captions, alignment, spacing, and custom page sizes.

Reference cards

Pair one image with the source and creative information collaborators need, ready to copy or export.

Flexible output

Present full screen or prepare PDF, Keynote, PNG-page, and flattened-PSD exports for the next conversation.
