Muse — tool for thought

Muse is your spatial canvas for the messy parts of the creative process. Scribble, sketch, write text, bring in images and web content. Mix it all up, then synthesize new ideas. A private space made for exploration and iteration. Deep thinking doesn’t happen in front of a computer. We designed Muse specifically for iPad + Pencil, with a gesture-based interface that’s fluid and fast. It’s the app that creative professionals have been missing on iPad. Here’s what makes Muse special: Spatial canvas, infinitely nested Creativity doesn’t fit into the rigid linearity of notes apps or text documents. Muse boards have a freeform canvas that expands to always fit your work. The unique zooming interface creates an organic hierarchy of nested boards and cards which mirrors how you think. Images, links, PDFs, files, tweets, ... Most apps make you choose: Are you sketching or writing? Are you arranging images or working with PDFs? Are you collecting links or files? A single Muse board lets you do it all. No switching modes or apps. By having everything in one space, you’ll discover all-new patterns and insights. Sketch and scribble anywhere Muse embraces Apple Pencil as the magical tool it is. Ink on top of, next to, or between cards. Type a sentence, then scribble a note over it. Paste a link, then move it into a sketch you made. And the Pencil Toolkit allows you to customize the functionality and style of your tools. Fluid gesture-based interface The only thing you see when using Muse is your work. There’s no interface chrome, no omnipresent toolbar. Instead, Muse fluidly reacts to your gestures, and lets you interact directly with content. Zoom into a PDF with one hand, while carrying a card with your other. Once you get the hang of how Muse works, other apps will seem slow and clumsy. PDF excerpts and Source Peek Knowledge work depends on PDFs. Just drag them into Muse to start reading, annotating, and synthesizing. The unique excerpting feature lets you turn any part of a PDF into a card to use elsewhere. And with Source Peek, you can always jump from the excerpt back to the original PDF. From Muse to other apps Muse wants to be a part of your creative process. So it’s easy to bring material into Muse, but also to get ideas out and into other apps. In addition to dedicated exporting, you can select any part of the canvas and just drag-and-drop a copy of it into other apps. Own your data Unlike cloud-based tools, Muse keeps your data fully private on the iPad. Export a “Muse bundle” of any board to send to others, or to keep as a backup. These bundles contain all your data in an accessible format, so you never have to worry about being locked into Muse. Free for casual use The base version of Muse is full-featured and free forever. Once Muse has become indispensable for your work, you might want to buy a membership for more cards and larger board sizes. Built by a small team Muse is made by five people, and we’ve poured our heart and soul into it. If you ever need anything, we are right here. --- Email: hello@museapp.com Website: museapp.com Twitter: @museapphq --- Privacy policy: https://museapp.com/privacy Terms of service: https://museapp.com/terms
