Canvas

Lay everything out on an open canvas.

Canvas is a wide-open space for diagrams, sketches, and planning. Gather notes, images, and whole boards into one picture you can see all at once.

How it looks

A picture, not a list.

Drag notes onto a Canvas and arrange them spatially — group related ideas, draw connections, and step back to see the shape of a project the way a whiteboard lets you, without losing the underlying text.

What people build on Canvas

  1. Project boards

    Cards for tasks, moved by hand across columns — but every card is a real note you can open and edit.

  2. Story and outline maps

    Lay out chapters, scenes, or arguments side by side and rearrange them until the structure clicks.

  3. Visual research boards

    Pin sources, quotes, and images together, then draw the connections between them as you find them.

Still just files underneath

A Canvas is saved as its own lightweight file alongside your notes — no proprietary format, nothing trapped behind a login. Embed existing notes into a Canvas and edits stay in sync in both directions.

Give your ideas some room to spread out.
