What Ocula is and how it works

FAQ

What is Ocula?
Ocula is a visual inspiration stash for designers. It has a gallery of design references saved from X and Pinterest, a daily design digest (Daily Insights), open design roles gathered from job boards, and a Trends page on what design employers ask for.

Is Ocula the same as Okula or Окула?
Yes. People also type the name as Okula or Окула. They all mean the design site at ocula.cc. It is not Ocula at ocula.com, the contemporary art magazine.

Is Ocula free?
Yes. There are no ads and no subscriptions.

Does Ocula host the images?
No. Every image loads from its original source and links back to the original post and its creator.

What is ocula.cc

ocula.cc is an independent, non-commercial curation gallery for design inspiration. We organize visual work — UI design, branding, photography, and more — that is already public on X (Twitter), Pinterest, and other platforms, so it's easier to browse and discover.

ocula.cc is a personal project for collecting design inspiration. All content belongs to its respective authors — each item links directly to the original source and creator. No data is harvested, resold, or claimed as original work.

We have no interest in claiming, monetizing, or passing off anyone else's work as our own. Every single item links directly back to its original post and its original creator, and we intend to keep it that way.

Content & Copyright

All visual content shown on ocula.cc belongs entirely to its original creators. ocula.cc makes no claim of ownership over any work displayed in the gallery, and nothing here should be read as an attempt to do so.

• Every item includes a direct link back to the original post and creator
• ocula.cc does not modify, crop, watermark, or alter original works
• ocula.cc does not sell, license, or commercially exploit any content shown
• ocula.cc does not accept payment for featuring or promoting specific works
• ocula.cc is a non-commercial personal project with no advertising or subscriptions

If you run a board, feed, or account featured here and would rather it wasn't, that's a completely reasonable thing to ask — see the removal section below. We're not here to fight about it; we'll just take it down.
