Get clarity on things that matter to you: Muse is a canvas for thinking on iPad and Mac. The 3.0 release includes collaboration so you and your team can go beyond whiteboards.
Hi Hunters! 👋
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Muse 3.0. Muse is a canvas that enables inspired and focused thinking for Mac and iPad users. Muse 3 boasts new features including the ability to collaborate and share with friends, family, and coworkers. Read more below:
New in Muse 3.0:
→ Realtime collaboration: Create shared workspaces next to your private workspace, and invite others to thing alongside you. Avatars show people’s locations, comment cards for discussion, and share URLs for others to click and jump in.
→ Search: In-app search makes it easy to find the content you care about. Muse indexes your boards, text, filenames, and notes to make it easy to find what you’re looking for.
→ Updated UI: New breadcrumb navigation helps you keep context, the sidebar shows who’s online, and the new toolbar adds one-click access to new ideas.
→ And lots more: colored and connected cards, ink on Mac, UI customization, and the list goes on...
Your support keeps Muse going, and we’re showing our thanks by lowering the subscription price! You can use Muse for free with up to 2 workspaces, 1 collaborator and 100 cards per workspace, then get started with a membership for just USD $3.99/mo that provides unlimited cards (check the App Store for prices in other currencies).
Muse 3.0 is built with love from Wiggins, Mark, Julia, Lennart, Linda, Henry, and myself. Thanks so much for your support, and I’m eager to hear your questions and thoughts. ❤️
I like muse very much, but I don't like muse3.0. I like the brand and icon of muse1.0, I like the mac version of muse2.0, and I like the workspace of muse3.0, but I have reservations about collaboration, at least it It should not be placed in the main position. Muse3.0 breaks the previous minimalist design, which is a very regrettable thing. I will wait and see for a while, if muse loses its minimalist space as a personal reflection, I think I will use Apple's Freeform which is also free and has more brushes.
@yang_bai Thanks for the feedback! Clean and focused UI is a big priority for us. In Muse 3, it’s possible to hide the new sidebar. We’ve also added more user preferences, so on the iPad there’s an option to hide the UI and window chrome for a more minimal experience. This allows new users discover the app’s features, while experienced users like yourself can hide unneeded UI. Our launch memo goes into a bit more detail about the UI customization. Thanks!
@adam_wulf I've tried all the features, and hiding the UI is clearly a compromise solution. There is a noticeable lag every time I switch, so this approach is not wise.
Incredible work, Adam! New version works flawlessly.
Card linking, breadcrumbs, and search make a great difference in usability.
The only thing Muse dream I have is dark mode 🙂
Love using Muse to capture and explore thoughts offline while flying. Not sure I'll need the collaboration features (while cool to see), but excited about the search and card connectivity.
Congrats on the launch @adam_wulf !
Huge fan of Muse, it accounts for ~90% of my iPad usage. I use it for work (noodling on ideas, shaping projects), but also for personal (home projects, learning languages, organizing research).
Excited for Muse 3 🚀
I've been using Muse 2.0 almost for a year, and been trying the Muse 3.0 beta as well.
This is a great tool, which made lot of nice ideas happen in my Research!
I've always lacked something in tools like Notion/Obsidian, I didn't quite stick with it. But when I step into Muse I see all the things spatially and it's easy to quickly gather the context I've been working on. (True that Obsidian graph view accomplishes this, but it didn't fit how my mind works)

All being said, I really wish to see more improvements in Search (searching pdfs too). And maybe handwriting in future (this will make me leave Goodnotes too 😅)
Amazing work team, thank you for building such an innovative tool ❤️
