Every business idea sounds great in your own head. Marc is where you find out if it actually holds up. Marc is a whiteboard for business ideas — built for iPad and Apple Pencil. Cluster the big themes, hang your thoughts off them, sketch whatever won't fit in a box. Connected thoughts pull on each other like a force field, so the structure of your thinking becomes something you can see and feel. Then comes the part no blank page gives you: pushback. AN AI THAT DOESN'T JUST AGREE Four perspectives look at your idea and ask the questions someone will ask later anyway — better now, while it's still cheap to change your mind: • The Investor — market size, scaling, unit economics. The pitch questions, before you're in the pitch. • The Customer — value, price, switching costs. Honest objections from the person meant to pay. • The Skeptic — finds the unchecked assumptions and weak spots. Kind, but incorruptible. • Thinking Ahead — opens directions you wouldn't have reached alone. Suggestions appear as dashed "ghost" cards at the edge of a thought. Accept or dismiss is always your call — nothing lands on your board unasked. FROM SCATTERED THOUGHTS TO A PLAN • Coverage check — see at a glance which business dimension is still a blind spot. • Decision log — Marc remembers what you accepted, checked, or dropped, and when. • Business-plan draft — condense the whole board into a structured draft, honest gaps included. MADE FOR THINKING, NOT FOR BUSYWORK • Apple Pencil sketching right on the canvas • A calm, paper-and-ink design that stays out of the way • Templates like Lean Canvas and the Four Questions to beat the blank page • Undo/redo, focus mode, filters — the canvas keeps up with your thinking Start free — try Marc without an account.

Your thinking board becomes a shared thinking room. THINK TOGETHER Share boards by email or link. Editors change the board, view-only members watch – and can still react and comment. LIVE ON THE SAME BOARD Avatars show who's there. Cursors move along, dragged thoughts follow in real time – even Apple Pencil strokes appear while they're being drawn. NEW BUILDING BLOCKS Text in four styles, checklists to tick off, photos and shapes – right on the canvas, with selection, handles and an editor. REACTIONS AND COMMENTS Six emoji reactions for a quick thumbs up, comment threads for anything longer. Both live on the thought, not in a chat next to it. AN AI THAT DRAFTS STRUCTURE Board generation now adds sticky notes, checklists, shapes and cross-connections – and the camera follows along as the board is built. CONNECTIONS AND TAGS Arrows, lines and dashed edges you can tap. Plus tags with a filter row of their own. BOARD SETTINGS Gravity, background and grid density now belong to the board – shared with everyone working on it. ALSO Marc now speaks six languages. Apple Pencil draws, your finger pans – cleanly separated. Plus many refinements and bug fixes. Sharing and collaborating are free. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-26 Marc designs your board Describe your core idea when creating a board, and Marc turns it into a finished starting point: clusters for the topics your idea actually hinges on, with concrete points beneath them. No more blank page – and you watch it take shape. With Marc+. Also: • You can now change your account's email address • Boards show their core idea right on the card • Minor fixes ### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-29 Fixed: Right after signing up, new boards couldn't be created. This now works reliably. Also: errors are now shown instead of failing silently. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-28 No release notes. ## More apps by Julian Hobmeier - [Ventro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ventro/id6754641746) All apps by Julian Hobmeier: https://appshunter.io/developer/1849416677 ## Related topics [idea board](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/idea-board) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
