Common questions

Which board files does Boardr open?

OpenBoardView .brd files, XZZ .pcb files and OpenBoardData .obdata readings.

Does Boardr come with board files?

It comes with a small set of open-source showcase boards, which you can add from the Help menu with Add the Showcase Boards. Commercial board files are not included; add the files you have with Add Boards and Boardr sorts them into the library.

How do I back up my library?

Use Back Up Library to save a copy of your library to a folder or drive you choose. To move to another Mac, install Boardr there and use Restore from a Backup.

Does Boardr send my files anywhere?

No. Boardr has no network access and everything stays on your Mac. See the privacy policy.
