Muse is the product that I always wanted to exist (and considered for a while building it myself). It’s simple and powerful. And the new Mac version lets you pick up where you left and further develop your work, seamlessly.
I’ve been looking for something like this, that doesn’t enforce any particular structure or format on ideas I am working with.
It does have constraints, but they are the sort of opinionated design decisions that are helpful in preventing me endlessly fiddling with the software instead of making something with it.
Give it a try.
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.
I’ve been using this for a few months now and I’m really enjoying the thoughtful interaction design and the way it can aggregate a whole range of content types into one canvas.
