Projecture Support
Projecture gathers the files, folders, links, emails, and notes of a project into one window on your Mac, wherever they live, and keeps them linked as they move. It stores references, not copies.
Contact
Email support@ingleworks.co with any question about Projecture.
If something went wrong, four things make it much easier to track down:
- Your macOS version (Apple menu ▸ About This Mac).
- The app version (Projecture ▸ About Projecture).
- What you were doing when it happened.
- Where the files involved live: your internal drive, an external drive, or which cloud service.
Please don't send me private files or emails unless I ask for one to reproduce a bug.
I answer every support email myself.
Requirements
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later
Frequently asked questions
Does Projecture copy or move my files?
No. It stores references to them. Only three commands change anything on disk: Rename File on Disk…, Move to Trash, and Consolidate in Move mode. The first two can be turned off in Settings ▸ General ▸ Files on your Mac. Removing an item, or deleting a folder or project, removes only the app's reference.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Only link previews. When you add a web link, the app asks that website for the page's title, icon, and preview image. There is no account, no analytics, and no Ingleworks server. See the Projecture privacy policy.
An item says "Offline."
The drive it's on isn't connected. Connect the drive and the item comes back on its own. Offline items keep their last known size.
An item says "Missing."
Its drive is connected, but the file can't be found — usually because it was deleted, or moved somewhere the app can't follow. Choose Locate… to point to it, or Remove from Project. Moves and renames in Finder are normally followed automatically, and the project's Activity tab records the re-link.
Why is a link called "Riverside link" instead of its title?
The page is behind a login, so the app ignores generic titles like "Sign in". Rename the link (press Return, or use the inspector), or choose Refresh Preview.
How do I add emails?
Drag a message from Apple Mail or Outlook for Mac (Outlook 365; Outlook 2021 can't drag messages, so save the message as a file and add that). Choose Add ▸ Add Email File… to add an .eml or .emlx file. Or paste a Gmail or Outlook web link. .msg files aren't supported.
How do I turn on the Finder and Share extensions?
Use Settings ▸ Extensions ▸ Open System Settings… in Projecture, or go to System Settings ▸ General ▸ Login Items & Extensions yourself. Finder's right-click menu then shows Add to Project and Show Projects Containing This, and the Services menu shows Add to Projecture….
Why does the app ask me to choose a folder when I rename or trash a file?
The macOS sandbox gives the app access to the file, not the folder it's in, and renaming or trashing a file changes its folder. You grant access once per folder, and the app remembers.
What does Consolidate do?
It copies (or moves) every piece of a project into one folder, with a manifest.md listing each item and where it originally lived. Offline items are skipped and listed. Nothing is overwritten. Moving across drives copies, verifies, and then moves the originals to the Trash.
How do I back up my projects?
The app makes an automatic backup each day and keeps 7. You can also use Settings ▸ Advanced ▸ Back Up Library… and Restore from Backup…, or Export Project… for a single project. Bookmarks may not resolve on another Mac; items then fall back to their last known path, and Locate… finds the rest.
