I'm a Milanote user since two years.
Great product, that I like and use a lot, but now with many boards and notes, the product seems a little bit limited for my usage... Search is not really good, and the navigation is difficult on boards with many notes and links. Maybe a Miro like navigation (zoom / dezoom + minimap) could help to navigate more effectively.

Milanote was a game-changer for me when I started using it in 2018, but even then I thought it was waiting for an iPad release-- I think that was the gist of my feedback for 2.0 on this very site. Still pretty much the only thing on my wishlist for Milanote (I'm sure I've probably voted on the roadmap more than once) especially with the introduction of drawing tools.
@samrye_enspiral Thanks Sam! Russian dolls is a great description, I might steal that :)
Milanote is my favourite product. The team, support and the balance between features and delight is very well done. What I also like is that most of the users love the product.
Keep it going!!! Best productivity app
Hey Product Hunt, Milanote co-founder here! 👋
Four years ago we launched Milanote to help creative people organise their projects. It was designed to replicate the feeling of working on a wall in a creative studio—visual, tactile, and sometimes a bit messy (in a good way!)
Today, we're releasing our biggest update yet. It's all about adding new ways to express your ideas visually.
Here are some highlights:
- A new drawing tool to sketch ideas, markup designs and create storyboards
- Color swatches
- Video and Audio cards for saving inspiration from around the web
- Documents, for when you want to write more than just a quick note
- A customizable toolbar (one for the power users!)
Hope you like it, and let me know if you have any feedback or questions! 😊
@oliebol Big Fan of MIlanote! Have been using it for years, just gives me the best clarity! Congrats on the launch!!
@oliebol I miss "Viewers". If everyone is an "Editor", every "Editor" is able to destroy data. I need the opportunity to give other users "Read Only" access to a board. I manage up to 50 professional Milanote user accouts and all of the´m wait for a "Viewers" feature.
@andreas_roscher Hey Andreas—thanks for the feedback! Does the "Publish & share" option not work for what you're trying to do?
Been using Milanote for a couple of years now and while I am dying for them to implement a tagging solution (hard to find some of my notes and ideas that get scattered in various boards), everything else is best-in-class!
This update looks amazing! Thanks for putting in the great effort and hard work on all these new features... can't wait to try them out and drop a few other apps I use now :)
@rossedghill Thanks Ross, glad to hear you're enjoying it. Tagging is one we're considering.
@milanoteapp has been part of my core stack a year or so.
Many products have been challenging its position.
No movement.
Even Miro didn't manage to move Milanote.
I kept both.
Beautiful, fast & lean .-
Milanote has changed my life. I'd been exploring for a while collecting ideas, podcasts, links and just dumping it into Evernote and not really being able to organise it in a way that visual represents the connections of the ideas with each other.
Ever since I started using Milanote a over a year ago, I've been on it every day, building my second brain. Just being able to look at everything I've ever watched from Youtube in an organised board is so satisfying.
Here's my favourite video essays on filmmaking from YouTube from the past 10 years!

@davekatague Thanks Dave, that's awesome. Your filmmaking board is a goldmine of video references. Glad Milanote could help!
One day I told myself "There is a Software where is not a pain in the a** to do a Moodboard?". Then, after a very short research I have found Milanote. It was like I have found my Charming Prince on a beautiful horse ready to save me. Milanote is not only extremely useful for Moodboard but for everything that concerns the collection of idea, the mind maps, the study of a character, of a story, in simple words: everything that you need for your project.
The best thing is how easy is to put images all together... Really guys, in normal graphic software is like: "Oh add a new level, past the image, oh crap I have to zoom, oh crap I have to make a font layer, oh s*** the canvas is too little let me adjust it... F***." Also, I don't have to save like a ton of images in a Windows folder and then have to watch them one by one to find the reference I need. Sorry for the amount of * but I think that they can really explain how it was painful to do such things before Milanote. Thanks Milanote Team for saving me from painful moments!
@lucia_gambardella Love it. "Software that isn't a pain in the a**". Might put that on our homepage :) Thanks for the great review, and glad you're enjoying Milanote!
A great product with a weak security level. The software manage only "Editors". I miss "Viewers" to give the users the opportunity to view a board but not to edit the board. It is a shame that such a great software has no "Read Only" concept.
These updates look great, but we're still really waiting for the fully functional search that can find particular elements / links / notes, because right now it only leads you to the board where you have to find it yourself. This is particularly needed for the times when app is used on mobile and you have to scroll through all the things that you have in a board.
@ugnius_miksta Hi Ugnius, thanks for the feedback on search, makes a lot of sense. It's definitely an area we'll continue improving as we go!
I've been using it since about a year and I gotta say that each time I felt there was a missing part in the software it came out maybe a couple weeks after. It feels SO nice to know that the product developement team is updating and adding features to their app regularly. For a long time, I tried to find an app that would be great for putting my idea and concept on "virtual paper" therefore whether it was too simple or too artistic for me. Milanote is like the perfect middle for me.
Thanks to all the team members for their work, it's really appreciated!
I wish you all an amazing day!
@loic_narbonne Nice one, thanks Loic! "Virtual paper" is a great description :)
I have been using Milanote for a couple of weeks and I am really impressed by its simplicity and design. It has the essentials I need for organising all the information for a project and it is really intuitive and simple to get started with. Thumbs up to your work and I look forward to using and sharing Milanote with some collaborators and to continued improvement from your part.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Milanote! I am the only creator here and it has been absolutely crucial in working with non artist management! and now we can draw?!!! Excelsior!
