Muse Logo
Muse
A focused, distraction-minimized canvas for non-linear thinking on iPad, iPhone, and Mac that organizes ideas using nested, shareable boards and simple collaboration.

A cozy, minimal workspace designed for deep thinking: create canvases that can contain other canvases so ideas can branch and evolve without being forced into a linear structure. The interface emphasizes calm, with light and dark themes and simple gestures to keep you in the flow.

Capture anything on a single board — handwriting, text, images, PDFs, videos, and files — then connect and annotate as your thinking develops. Built-in features include PDF annotation, search and quick-jump to boards, export options, local-first data with instant sync, and collaboration tools like live cursors and comments.

The product focuses on helping you sketch, storyboard, and synthesize research without extra friction; some complex formatting or advanced drawing brushes are intentionally omitted to keep the experience lightweight. It's available natively on iPad, iPhone, and Mac and is suitable for individual brainstorming as well as small-team collaboration.
