Joybox helps you organize audio and video links. You can add them to your collection, with tags if needed, and then go through them based on your mood.
You can also share a playlist from multiple platforms in one place.
Add with one click
The following 'bookmarklets' can be dragged to your browser's favourites and will do something special on click.
| Queue | Add the current page to your list silently and in the background. |
| Capture | Enter notes to be added your list. |
Add by pasting links or text
Text input is interpreted based on how lines are spaced. The link can be at the beginning, middle, or end of a block of text.
Two lines single-spaced:alfa bravo |

Item catalog
On the left side of the interface, you can create, search, and select items. On the right side, you can edit the details.
Editing the same item on multiple devices at the same time can result in data loss. Editing different items should be safe.
Archive hides the item from the list unless there is filter text or the Reveal archive button was pressed.
Fetch fetches the image, metadata, and embed url.
Name is the name for the item. If this is empty, it will be overwritten when pressing Fetch.
Notes can be used for any personal comments. Any text from a capture box will be placed here.
Tags can be used to organize items and make them easier to find.
Sharing playlists
Sending a playlist
- Press the Stash button.
- Select one or more items from the list, then press OK.
- Re-order if necessary by dragging or pressing the arrow buttons, then press Copy link.
Receiving a playlist
The items are grouped at the top of the list in a section called Inbox. These mostly behave like any other item, but they are not editable and will not appear without clicking the shared link. Try a sample playlist.
Clear the inbox by pressing Clear inbox.
Add an inbox item to your collection by pressing the Add to collection button.

What are remoteStorage and Fission?
remoteStorage and Fission are open protocols for synchronizing data between multiple devices. Both take the level of control and flexibility of something like email and bring it to your personal data. You could think of it as a USB key for your documents that you can plug into websites to work on your stuff.
You can get a remoteStorage account for free from 5apps or host your own.
You can get a Fission account for free from Fission Auth or setup your own server.
