I got the woodpecker method book, I realize there is a Chessable course but I’m not going to re but it on there. I don’t want to waste time setting up pieces on my board for quick position. What’s the best way to set these positions up quickly digitally and save them for later. I guess I could do it on the explorer here but I’d like to save them in a folder so I can go back and go through them without having to set it up every time.

For woodpecker method, try to play them out in your head. It's hard at first, but it forces you to think before you put the pieces on the board (on computer or real board).

Someone made a "woodpecker" study of all "easy" 221 tactics in a "interactive" mode over at another site. Here's the link to the 1st 64 (1/4): https://lichess.org/study/s2FeEYlV Easy is a relative term!

The Forward Chess Android app has the book, and a "Show/Hide Solution" button and a diagram that supports making moves/reversing the board.

I just look at the diagram and picture the pieces moving in my head.
For longer and more complicated puzzles, this can give your visualization skills a workout too.
I’ve seen a number of 2000+ FIDE players say that tactics puzzles are far more beneficial if you calculate the entire variation prior to moving a piece.
Not using a board in the first place is a great way of forcing yourself to do so.
This is what I’ve been doing, and it’s improved my playing strength substantially.

Chessable also have the book and you can use the method on more courses, even free courses.
Try ChessWoodie.com . It’s build around woodpecker method practice and is free. On top of it it’s pretty fun and engaging to track your puzzle per minute stat changing from one cycle to another

https://www.tacticspecker.com/about is also out there. I've signed up but not tried it yet.
But I kind of like the idea of not moving a piece until it is worked out in your head. But I guess you can force yourself to do that with proper discipline.
