A code, not a login
The screen shows a 6-character code; you enter it once in the builder. The display itself never sees a credential.
Build by hand, or by AI
The dashboard for people who live in the data.
Bring your data and AI designs the dashboard, or build it by hand on the grid. Connect any source, ship a read-only link, and cast it to any screen. Instrument-grade, live, and a fraction of the usual price.

BoardMason turns your numbers into a live dashboard anyone can read, then share with a single link.
Connect a source, arrange a few widgets on the grid, send the link. It keeps itself up to date, looks sharp on any screen, and needs no code to start. The kind of dashboard you'd expect to pay a team to build. Built by you, in an afternoon.

how it works
Three moves from empty canvas to a link on the wall
No setup ritual, no schema dance. The data-frame contract does the wiring.
- 01drop
Drop a widget on the grid
Pick from the palette and it snaps to the graticule, sized by the unit. Drag a ghost in, or click to place. Nothing to align by hand.
- 02bindmock:fleet → frame
Bind it to a source
Every source returns one data-frame shape, so any source drives any widget. The inspector is generated from the widget's own schema. No two widgets fight you differently.

Share, or embed
The read-only view renders server-side and ships almost no JavaScript. It loads fast on a wall display and inside an iframe alike, and appearance travels with the document.

the library
Reach for any instrument
Two shelves: curated panels, ready-made composites like MRR, signups or support that drop in pre-wired, and building blocks, every primitive from stat to sankey. Pick one and the inspector configures itself from the widget's own schema. Here are the ones you'll reach for most.

Any browser is the player, a smart TV, a Raspberry Pi, an old laptop taped to the wall.
Always current
Live sources tick on their own, and every Save pushes your latest layout to every paired screen.
Any number of screens
Cast one board across a whole video wall, or a different board to each display.
why boardmason
Built to be the screen you don't look away from
Not a chart toy. The working surface for the people who read numbers for a living, and need everyone else to read them too.
Connect anything
Any source, one shape
Point it at a REST endpoint, a SQL query, a CSV, or a live webhook. Every source returns the same data-frame, so anything you connect can drive anything you draw.
Zero config files
The inspector builds itself
Bind a widget and its settings panel is generated from its own schema. Add a field to a widget and the form grows with it, and you never hand-wire a control.
Drive the whole board
One control, every widget
Drop a filter and it feeds every widget that knows the column. Slice the entire dashboard from one dropdown. No per-chart fiddling, no broken links between panels.
Fast by construction
Static where it counts, live where it matters
The shared view renders server-side and ships almost no JavaScript, so it loads instantly on a wall display or inside an iframe. The editor still holds 60fps while the data updates under it.
Make it yours
Appearance travels with the doc
Theme and canvas save on the dashboard, not in some global setting. The link you send looks identical to the board you built: on their screen, on the wall, in the deck.
Share with control
Roles and permissions, built in
Organizations, per-dashboard roles, and public read-only links. Hand someone a number without handing over the keys, or the rest of the board.

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You drag widgets onto a grid and pick a source from a list, and the settings for each widget appear on their own. If you can build a slide, you can build a dashboard.
Can AI just build the dashboard for me?
Yes. Bring a CSV or connect a source and BoardMason reads your data, picks the right charts, binds the fields and lays out a finished board. From there you can keep editing in plain English, “add a churn trend”, “make it dark”, or fine-tune anything by hand.
Can I use my own AI key?
Yes. Add a key for OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Groq, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It’s stored encrypted for your organization, and when you use your own key the AI features don’t count against our daily limit. Or skip it entirely and use the model we provide.
Where does the data come from?
You connect a source: a REST API, a database query, a CSV, or a live feed. Everything you connect is normalized to one shape behind the scenes, so any source can drive any widget without fiddling.
Can I share it with people who don’t have an account?
Yes. Publish a read-only link that anyone can open in a browser. Or keep a dashboard private to your organization, with roles and per-dashboard permissions deciding who sees what.
Does it update on its own?
Yes. Bind a live source and the numbers refresh themselves. Leave it on a wall display and walk away. No exporting, no re-sending screenshots every morning.
Will it look good on a TV, a projector, or a phone?
It’s built to. The shared view is light and responsive, and your chosen theme is saved on the dashboard itself, so it looks the same on the big screen, in an embed, and on your phone. For a permanent wall display, pair the screen with a 6-character code and it casts your board with no login and auto-refreshes on every Save.
How fast can I get something real up?
Minutes. Start from one of the ready-made templates above and swap in your own data, or start from a blank graticule if you’d rather build from scratch. You can look around without an account.
