Anything this team builds is world-class execution. Jotting down my ideas and tracking them across my team has become much more natural ever since joining Clover! Thanks Tom & Team for creating such a great product.

@michaeldick Aww shucks, Mike. Thanks!

I’ve been using Clover in beta for the last few months, and it quickly became my daily note taking and organization tool. It’s got everything you’d expect, and a bunch that you wouldn’t: freeform drawing, infinite canvas, presentation mode and a lot more. Highly recommended!
Tom Giannattasio
@aaron_epstein Thanks Aaron. Your feedback along the way has been super helpful!

I am absolutely loving this beta product! Clover thinks like I do! :-) It does have a long way to go to catch up with the likes of Notion, Coda, Roam, Milanote, etc. but with this first taste, I am feeling very confident that they will achieve parity and possibly superiority in short order. The design is beautiful and the way everything intends to work together is brilliant. I can't wait to come along for the ride with Clover. It is going to really juice my creativity.
Tom Giannattasio
@just_s that’s great to hear! We’re happy to have you along for the ride! Cool things coming!

Excellent product, well thought out and beautifully designed.
Tom Giannattasio
@seanbunton Appreciate that, Sean! We're doing our best to keep it clean as we add more features.

Just discovered this, and as predominately a writer (coming from the comms industry, but trying to build some product design experience) I've constantly been bumping up against the notion of good writing apps, and then habits of sticking to one, as I've tried so many productivity tools to try and jot down ideas and share with designers. BUT having just discovered this I am so excited by having a "Figma for Writers" style whiteboarding app. I will be taking this for a spin over the next couple of weeks!
Filip Stanev
Love the design. Well done!
Tom Giannattasio
@fstanev Thanks Filip!

Hey Product Hunt! Last year we posted a teaser about some of the things we were working on. Since then, thousands of you have joined our private beta and have been helping us shape the product. Today we're excited to open Clover Beta to everyone! Clover is a workspace that combines traditional productivity tools with creative thinking tools. It includes notes, whiteboarding, todos, and a daily planner. We built it because we found ourselves brainstorming in one tool, recording notes in another, and planning in yet another. Eventually our ideas were fragmented across so many tools that we didn't know where they were. We wanted something simpler, faster, and more flexible. At the core of Clover is a new type of document called a Surface. It combines the power of a modern text editor with the flexibility of a whiteboard (think Dropbox Paper meets Figjam). Its spatial workflow enables better brainstorming, enhanced memory, and intuitive organization. It's also pretty fun! Here are some other notable features: Robust Text Capabilities - Markdown formatting, code blocks with syntax highlighting, inline task features, slash inserter, dynamic references, and much more. Daily Notes - A doc per day to take notes, log journal entries, and plan work with due dates and automatic task rollover. Backlinking - Network your ideas together. Link to other pages or deep link to specific blocks and Clover will automatically add backlinks to connect the pages. Inline Tasks - Add todos within your notes for simple and intuitive task management. Add due dates and tasks will show up on your Daily Notes. Use color-coding to call out priorities. Presentations - Draw frames around important parts of your Surface. Hit play and present your frames as a slideshow. Embeds - Interactive embeds – YouTube, Figma, SoundCloud, and more. Sketching - Add wireframes, notations, and sketches right on top of your notes. There's also Apple Pencil support. Real-time collaboration - Share pages with guests and collaborate with them on the same Surface in real-time. Templates - Get started quickly with some useful templates based on popular productivity and creativity methodologies (eg, Eisenhower Box, Crazy Eights). Quick Note - Record a note or task from anywhere. You can even tell it what day you’d like the note added to using plain language. Customization - Build your own theme with intuitive controls for light / dark mode, chroma adjustments, sidebar shade / tint, and highlight colors. Full-text search - Search the text within all your pages to quickly jump directly to a specific block. We're hard at work on rounding out the tool. Here are a few things we're currently working on: - Tags - Tables - Import / Export - Android and Firefox support - A few surprises! We hope you'll give it a try and we'd love to hear what you think!

@attasi : Love this Tom. @arun_josephk you will truly love this. I believe this will make design collaboration a breeze. Right now we use Miro but we might just shift here 🌟
Tom Giannattasio
@arun_josephk @saascoach Thanks! We still have a lot to build for teams, but would love to hear from you about what you need.
Joseph Abraham
@arun_josephk @attasi : Our use case is 1. Storyboarding for videos 2. Image revisions for our SaaS magazine 3. Layout revisions for our SaaS magazine 4. Storyboarding, getting approvals from sponsor around images/videos and copy So for its both internal collaborators and guest collaborators, trust this gives a sneak peak 😀

@attasi @saascoach This looks great! lets try it out!
Tom Lucido
@attasi Used it and enjoyed. Surfaces were great for outlining articles, conceptualizing processes, and tracking tasks.
Marty Ringlein
Thank you ... finally! So many tools out there trying to get me to stop just using the Notes app and this was exactly the experience I've been waiting for to manage all of the ideas from zero-to-one.
Tom Giannattasio
@smarty Thanks Marty! Hope we can get you off of Notes for good.
Madsen Vale
Well done folks!
Bilal Chaglani

Does this work on iPad browsers? Is there an iPad app coming soon?
Brandon Jones
@gopikm Clover does work on iPad browsers. There is also a native app that is currently in Test Flight which you can download on your iOS device here: https://testflight.apple.com/joi...
Raphael Allstadt
Clean! Very nice!
Tom Giannattasio
@raphael_allstadt 😎 Thanks Raphael!
Scott Hanford
It sounds like this is exactly what I need. Can't wait to try it out!
Tom Giannattasio
@scott_hanford 🙌 Thanks Scott!
Mukul Ishwar
@attasi I was using the app and found it to be really intuitive, fulfils 90% of my needs. Just 2 things, if you can add database support like notion and Boards like trello that would be awesome
Tom Giannattasio
@mukul23 Awesome to hear! We've discussed these two features quite a bit. While not on our immediate roadmap, they are a consideration just about every dev cycle. :)
Stephen Zeoli
I would recommend this product. It doesn't do much that other apps do not, but it does what it does in ways that make working more frictionless. The task features are especially well designed. It feels very mature for an app still in beta.
Alan Cassinelli
Love the hype video, really well done. Who helped make it? Would love a referral
Tom Giannattasio
@alancassinelli Our pal Joe made the video for us. You can learn more about his work here: https://www.joeski.com/. He's awesome!
