Formerly Muse Canvas for Ideas

Features & Capabilities

Muse is a thinking canvas that helps you gain clarity on what matters. You can work privately or collaborate with others, and nested boards grow as ideas develop. Linked cards let you reference content across boards, and excerpts let you remix PDFs and images without losing context, creating an interconnected space for ideation.

Develop your ideas on a single canvas with writing, scribbles, notes, images, videos, PDFs, links, and more. Connect the dots with ease, search and jump between boards, annotate PDFs, export boards as PDFs or PNGs, and collaborate in real time with shared workspaces, live cursors, and templates. Muse uses local-first data with instant sync for fast, private-first collaboration.

User Reviews

Muse is praised as an easy, powerful canvas for brainstorming and organizing diverse content across iPad, Mac, and iPhone, with a refined UI and strong media integration. Recurrent drawbacks include missing features (dark mode, search, checklists, calendar), stability concerns (Apple Pencil issues, freezes, sync glitches), and navigation limitations (non-infinite boards, zoom constraints, swipe-forget risk). It’s highly valuable for professionals and creatives who want cross-device idea hubs, but could improve with feature parity and reliability.
Pros
  • Easy to use for capturing and organizing ideas with a snappy, intuitive UI.
  • Rich multi-media support: notes, links, photos, videos, PDFs, and handwriting/drawing on boards.
  • Strong cross-device accessibility across iPad, Mac, and iPhone with consistent access to boards and content.
  • Thoughtful UX across platforms with platform-specific polish and gesture support for organizing complex ideas.
Cons
  • Lacks several commonly desired features (no dark mode, no search, no checklists, and no calendar integration; limited navigation options like a single zoom level).
  • Stability and input issues, including Apple Pencil integration problems, occasional freezes, and syncing/dragging glitches that can cause items to disappear.
  • Navigation/board limitations (no infinite scrolling on boards; potential risk of losing cards with accidental swipes; limited zoom/navigation control).

Can’t even look at the app without disclosing your email. They claim it’s for your safety, but that’s what iCloud is for. I smell something stinky.
