Using map notes, you can spread your ideas anywhere on an infinitely spread canvas. I think the brain's work when considering ideas is a random and radial working image rather than linear. Traditional notes that need to be written sequentially from left to right are not very suitable for this process. If you use this infinite size notebook application, you can freely expand ideas from the center of the page, so you can make ideas more natural. Ideal for creating rough mind maps, brainstorming and idea sketches. * Please check out MapNote 2 that can add images, add folders, and sync with iCloud.
Endless Paper
This app offers an infinite canvas for drawing, note-taking, and visual idea exploration. It allows users to create interconnected spaces that unfold through infinite zoom, feeling as natural as pen and paper but without physical limitations.
- Infinite canvas
- Vector-based drawings
- Lasso tool for content manipulation
- Image vectorization
- High-resolution exports
- Interactive website publishing
- Drag and drop support

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Endless Paper at Free against Map Note's $2.99. Endless Paper also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (484 vs 69). Map Note's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 7). On ads there is nothing between them.
