  • Patent number: 12260172
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for fileless information management are provided. A system includes a content-management server in communication with at least one client device via a computer network. The client device has a client user interface to concurrently display a content-editing area and a content card-management area. The content-management server stores content data and content card template metadata shareable between client devices. The content-management server stores programming instructions for a content card-management program for receiving, storing, and transmitting content data via content card templates. A content card template may include metadata associating content data stored in the memory with a content binding in the content-editing area of a client device.
