| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is SharetoBoard? | SharetoBoard is an Android-first product ecosystem for Poppy users. Android captures from the phone, Chrome captures from the browser, and Tentaclaw connects supported local MCP clients to six approved Poppy operations. |
| Is SharetoBoard an official Poppy product? | No. SharetoBoard is an independent third-party product. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Poppy. |
| Why not just open Poppy in the browser? | Poppy is the workspace. SharetoBoard shortens the capture step when you are reading on your phone, moving between tasks, talking through a client problem, or working from a browser selection. |
| Does SharetoBoard replace Poppy? | No. Poppy remains the visual AI workspace. SharetoBoard adds focused ways to get useful material into that workflow. |
| Why Poppy instead of another notes app? | The goal is not simply to store another note. Poppy gives links, thoughts, sources, prompts, and conversations a visual place where they can be connected and developed into real work. |
| Do I need a Poppy account? | Yes. Poppy membership, API access, and credits are separate from SharetoBoard and are managed by Poppy. |
| Why can't I use Google sign-in inside the Android beta? | The current embedded beta does not have a provider-supported way to return a Google-authenticated Poppy session to SharetoBoard. The beta supports Poppy email-and-password sign-in and does not copy or relay identity tokens. |
| Do I need a new Poppy account? | If your Poppy account supports email and password, use it. If you normally use Google only, use a supported password setup or recovery option if Poppy provides one, or create a dedicated beta account with a unique password. Never send SharetoBoard your password or sign-in code. |
| How does voice capture work? | SharetoBoard hands the action to the recorder on your open Poppy board. Poppy handles recording and transcription under its own policies; SharetoBoard does not record, store, transcribe, or upload the audio. |
| What can I share from another Android app? | The current beta accepts online text, links, and selected text. External image, video, PDF, and general file sharing remain unavailable while the restored media path completes physical-device validation. |
| Does the Android beta work offline? | Not for new captures. Offline intake and delivery are paused, so reconnect and retry rather than assuming the capture was saved for later. |
| Is SharetoBoard Chrome publicly available? | Not yet. SharetoBoard Chrome 1.7.0 is in private beta and does not have a public Chrome Web Store install link. |
| What does SharetoBoard Chrome capture? | The browser-capture features send a user-selected passage or link to the configured Poppy board. Optional Selection Bubble access is off until the user enables it. |
| Does Chrome Pro require a Poppy API key? | No. Chrome Pro stores validated Poppy Specialist chatbot links and local display settings. It does not request or store a Poppy API key, password, cookie, or login token. |
| What is Tentaclaw? | Tentaclaw is a separate local-only MCP server that keeps the Poppy API key behind a local process and exposes six focused operations to supported local clients. It is still a private release candidate. |
| Does Tentaclaw require Poppy API access? | Yes. Tentaclaw is a bring-your-own Poppy subscription and API-key tool. Android and Chrome capture do not require your Poppy API key. |
| What is the 14-day challenge? | The Capture to Clarity Challenge is a practical beta rhythm: use the available capture paths during real work for 14 days, then send private feedback about what helped and what got in the way. |
| Are there rewards for testing? | As a thank-you, qualifying testers may receive up to three months of SharetoBoard Pro after launch. No public review, positive rating, or social post is required, and critical feedback counts. See the challenge page for details. |
| Is an affiliate link required? | No. A direct, non-affiliate Poppy link is always provided. |
| Do you sell personal data? | No. SharetoBoard does not sell personal data. |
