Description

Muse is a canvas for thinking that helps you get clarity on things that matter. Think in private or collaborate with others.

BEYOND WHITEBOARDS
with nested boards
Each Muse board is like a whiteboard that can hold even more whiteboards. Your boards grow organically over time as you develop an idea. Stay in the ideation flow, worry about organizing later.

REFERENCE & REMIX
with linked cards & excerpts
Linked cards let you reference boards from multiple places. And excerpts let you remix parts of PDFs and images without losing the context of the source. Grow your Muse into a space of interconnected whiteboards.

ONE CANVAS FOR ANYTHING
with ink + text + cards
Developing an idea starts with collecting inspiration and stray thoughts. Muse lets you put everything on a single canvas: writing, scribbles, notes, images, videos, PDFs, web links, and any other files. Lay out all the raw materials, then connect the dots with ease.

COLLABORATION
with shared workspaces
Add collaborators to a Muse workspace to plan and strategize together. They'll feel right at home with live cursors, comments, following, and templates.

AND PLENTY MORE
→ Search and quick-jump to boards
→ Read and annotate PDFs
→ Create connections between cards
→ Export boards as PDFs or PNGs
→ Local-first data with instant sync

Ratings and Reviews

Editors’ Notes

Brutal minimalism, be damned: Muse’s organized chaos wrangles your files, photos, drawings, and text to provide a perfect brainstorming workspace. If you need to go deeper, Muse’s unique file structure lets you jump in and out of its signature boards with a flurry of slick gestures.

Amazing app! But has some minor usability flaws

I enjoyed using the app and I am really excited to support the app team. The attention to details and all these gesture controls are stunning and thoughtful. Though I am really frustrated because of these two things by now:

1) why can’t I freely zoom in and out within one art board? Work at scale that I am comfortable with? The default scale looks to zoomed in for me. When I try to zoom out a little bit, I just exit the current art board.

2) the functionality of instant dragging has led me to multiple mistakes during my work, when I accidentally moved some item and realised it only after a while. So I needed to undo my work to put everything together again. Furthermore, when the art board begins to be messy, with many items on it, trying to navigate it without occasionally moving anything feels very much like walking on a minefield. I understand your philosophy behind this feature, but I’d love to decide by myself if I want to preselect items to move them, or just to move them instantly.

So, for now it is only 4, but overall — this app is a real thing, I love it. Happy to support your team 👌
