The app Ive been searching for

Finally, this app fills a massive gap in the productivity/design space, beautiful functionality and ability to create mood boards and visually lay out ideas without a monthly subscription or limitations on cards. I only held back as it didn’t feature grids (which a subscription based app had) but purchased as soon as that function was added, no regrets on the initial outlay, I’ll use this for years.

Response from developer

That's amazing! Thank you for letting us know 🙏🏼

Really Fantastic.

This app has been perfect for me.

Like a lot of people I found Milanote, but I’ve been trying hard to remove myself from subscriptions.

VisualOS is like a local version of Milanote, but a one-time purchase!

The developers are extremely up-to-date with everything, and I feel lucky I found this gem. I strongly recommend it.

A wonderful app for organizing complex projects!

I absolutely love this app. Apart from some noncommittal dabbling in Freeform, I’m new to the infinite canvas approach to organizing and brainstorming projects, and I am so glad VisualOS was my first real introduction to the concept. My chaotic handwritten notes, sketches, url links, and pdfs are now mapped out and organized by folders. This app ticks all the right boxes (no subscriptions, no data mining, no annoying popups interfering with my workflow), and the version updates just keep improving on perfection. :-) Great job, guys!

Ótimo App

O aplicativo é ótimo. Tudo funciona perfeitamente e a sincronização por pastas no iCloud facilita tudo!

Response from developer

Thank you 🙏🏼

Noch nicht rund, aber guter Anfang

Ich möchte das Projekt gerne unterstützen, da es mir ein guter Ersatz für Milanote sein könnte und habe es gekauft, auch wenn es noch kaum Rezensionen gibt.
Zeichnen: noch sehr buggy, Linien brechen dauernd ab, wenn ich mit dem Apple Pencil zeichne.
Synchronisierung: geht scheinbar nicht zwischen verschiedenen Geräten. Ich habe es über einen Dropbox Ordner versucht und auch über iCloud, aber es lädt immer nur den Canvas auf der obersten Ebene.
Da ich es für den Unterricht benutzen will, ist der Sync absolut notwendig und muss eigentlich automatisch passieren.
Da ich nicht gleich einen schlechten Schnitt der Bewertungen verursachen will, gebe ich trotzdem die volle Punktzahl, hoffe aber inständig, dass hier noch deutliche Verbesserungen folgen.

FAQ

What is visualOS?

visualOS is an infinite canvas application designed for visual organization of notes, images, to-do lists, and sketches. It prioritizes offline functionality and saves all data as real files in a user-selected folder on their device.

How does visualOS handle data storage?

Your data is stored as real files within a folder on your device. You can connect any folder, and visualOS mirrors your canvas into it. If you place this folder in iCloud Drive, it syncs through your cloud, ensuring your data remains accessible and readable even if you stop using the app.

Is visualOS available offline?

Yes, offline access is a core feature of visualOS. It is designed to work without an internet connection, meaning your canvas opens instantly as all data is stored locally on your device.

Can I organize content within visualOS?

Yes, visualOS allows for 'boards within boards,' enabling you to create a hierarchical structure for your projects. You can drag elements into boards to file them, use breadcrumbs for navigation, and double-tap to go deeper into nested boards.

What kind of content can I add to visualOS?

You can add notes (including rich text and Markdown), images, PDFs, sketches, and interactive to-do lists to your canvas. It also includes features like background removal for images and mindmap layouts.

What are the export options for visualOS?

You can export your canvas content as JPG, PNG, or PDF files. The app also supports printing directly from the application.

What devices does visualOS support?

visualOS is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The single purchase unlocks the app across all your Apple devices.

Does visualOS have ads?

No, visualOS does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application with a one-time purchase that unlocks all features and devices.
