Make a board

A board is a group of futures you can play together.

A board is a group of futures you can play together. A future is a short statement you want to practice. It can also have an image and a voice recording.

You can make a board for one part of your life, such as work, rest, or confidence.

Make a board

1. Open Boards.
2. Tap New Board at the top right.
3. Give your board a name.
4. Tap Create now to make the board with its name only.

Your new board is ready to hold futures. You can also start from the app's Create button, then choose New Board.

If Futurecast shows a plan limit, read the choices on that screen. Your existing boards stay saved.

Explain what your board is about

An intention is a few words about what you want from the board. Futurecast uses it when writing new futures for that board.

1. While making a board, enter its name.
2. Tap Add intention.
3. Write what you want to focus on. Include details that matter to you.
4. Tap Create board.

You can leave the intention blank and add it later. See Write a board intention for writing help and style choices.

Add futures to your board

1. Open your board.
2. Tap Add Futures if the board is empty. Otherwise, tap the + at the top.
3. Choose an option:
   • Generate futures: Let Futurecast write futures for this board.
   • Add from library: Choose futures you already saved. This appears when there are futures you can add.
   • Write your own: Type a new future yourself.
4. Follow the steps for generating futures, adding saved futures, or writing your own.
