I love the visual aspect of this note taking tool. The templates with example data is what first drew me in, but I've been hooked ever since! It not only lets me collect links and text, but also photos, videos, color swatches, hand drawn notes and more. The visual board display isn't available on the mobile version which is kind of a bummer, but honestly I use it more on the Desktop than anything else. The only thing that could make it better in 2025 would be implementing AI search and insights that would bubble up connections between previous content or board collections or items that are related or seem relevant. I have tried so many note-taking apps, but this one is the one that I'm currently loving the most!

I love how perfectly designed it is for design projects - I use this for brand design projects in collaboration with my client and it is just perfect.

I've been using it for years now in the daily design process in my agency. There is nothing better for web/app IA planning, content writing and ideation, articles, reviews and many more. Miro is not a substitute because they don't have inlayed boards.
