The same Board as in Pilot Desk
Your sheets and folders, and the ones shared with you, are the same in the app and in Pilot Desk. What changes on one side appears on the other straight away.
For your team, and just for you too...Pilot Board puts everyone’s work on one board.
Share sheets and folders, write together in the same sheet and organise work on card boards. With your Pilot account, it is the same Board as in Pilot Desk. For Mac and Windows.
What your team can do with Pilot Board.
With your Pilot account, the app opens the same Board you use in Pilot Desk. When someone changes something, everyone else sees it straight away.
This uses your Pilot account. Without an account, the app also works just for you: see how below.
Share sheets and folders
Choose people from your company and let them view or edit a sheet, or every sheet in a folder. And if you mention someone with @, the sheet reaches them.
Write together, live
In a shared sheet, several people write at the same time: each one sees the others’ changes as they type, with their name and colour.
Your Bucket, on your phone too
The notes and links in your Bucket are the same on your phone (in the Bucket Notes app), in Pilot Desk and in Pilot Board. Add and edit them from any of them, and changes show up on their own.
Ask your Bucket
In the Bucket chat, your own Claude answers questions about your notes and links. The app installs it and connects it with one button. It uses your Claude account, which must be Pro or Max.
For the team, or just for you.
The same tools as the Board in Pilot Desk, with or without an account. Without one, everything stays on your computer. With your account, it is saved in Pilot and you share it with whoever you like.
Download the appSheets with full formatting
Headings, lists, to-dos to tick off, tables, colours, images and files.
Folders and links
Every sheet in its folder, the important ones starred, and links from one sheet to another.
Card boards
Columns with the name and colour you want, and cards you drag from one to the next.
Sticky notes
Quick, colourful notes, always in sight while you work.
In light or dark mode and in six languages. The first time you open it, it asks for your name and email; you do not need a Pilot account.
What leaves your computer, and where it goes.
Very little, and always the same things.
Your name and email
Just once, when you register. They are kept by Pilot.
What you do with your account
With your Pilot account, your sheets, folders, boards, sticky notes and Bucket are saved in Pilot. That is why you also see them in Pilot Desk and on your phone, and the people you choose see them too.
The Bucket chat
To answer you, the app sends your Claude only what it needs from your notes and links, using your own account. The conversation is saved in your Pilot account.
The check for a new version
When you open it, and every half hour while it is open, the app asks pilot.cr whether there is a new version. That check does not carry your sheets.
Without an account, your sheets never leave your computer.
Installing it takes a couple of minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the usual questions.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Pilot Board is free, on Mac and on Windows. The Bucket chat uses your own Claude, with your plan.
Do I need a Pilot account?
No. Without an account you write, organise your sheets and use boards and sticky notes, and everything stays on your computer. With your Pilot account you work with your team and use the Bucket.
Does my team see the same as me?
They see what you share with them: a sheet or a whole folder, to view or to edit. They see it in their Pilot Board or in Pilot Desk, with changes straight away.
Can several people write in the same sheet?
Yes, in a shared sheet. Each person sees the others’ changes as they type, with their name.
What is the Bucket?
The list of notes and links in your Pilot account: what you save from your phone, Pilot Desk or Pilot Board, in one place. Its checkbox removes what you no longer need, everywhere.
How do I get new versions?
The app looks for them on its own. When there is one, it lets you know: click “Update and restart” and it installs, with nothing to download.
What happens to the sheets I made without an account?
They stay on your computer. While you are signed in you see your Board in Pilot, and when you sign out they come back, with nothing lost.
Everyone’s work, in order.
The app is free, for Mac and Windows. Each button downloads the latest version.
Coming soon for Mac
Coming soon for Windows
After that it updates itself: you will not need to download it again.
