Allume (formerly Muse) is a canvas for thinking that helps you get clarity on things that matter. Think in private or collaborate with others. BEYOND WHITEBOARDS with nested boards Each Muse board is like a whiteboard that can hold even more whiteboards. Your boards grow organically over time as you develop an idea. Stay in the ideation flow, worry about organizing later. REFERENCE & REMIX with linked cards & excerpts Linked cards let you reference boards from multiple places. And excerpts let you remix parts of PDFs and images without losing the context of the source. Grow your Muse into a space of interconnected whiteboards. ONE CANVAS FOR ANYTHING with ink + text + cards Developing an idea starts with collecting inspiration and stray thoughts. Muse lets you put everything on a single canvas: writing, scribbles, notes, images, videos, PDFs, web links, and any other files. Lay out all the raw materials, then connect the dots with ease. COLLABORATION with shared workspaces Add collaborators to a Muse workspace to plan and strategize together. They'll feel right at home with live cursors, comments, following, and templates.

DoMarks is the to-do app for bookmarks. Save links. Organize them. Check them off. Done! Create a Mark, assign an action, and transform your bookmarks into a focused, workable list. Whether it's articles to read, videos to watch, or podcasts to queue up — DoMarks keeps you on top of it all. Features: • Actions. Categorize Marks to build lists of videos to watch, articles to read, podcasts to listen to, and more. • Tags. Add tags to fine-tune your organization and find exactly what you're looking for. • A list built to be worked. Every Mark is a card showing its site icon, its action, and its tags at a glance. Swipe either edge — and choose which actions live there. • Cross-platform. Marks sync automatically via iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Siri & Apple Intelligence. Ask Siri to save the page you're reading in Safari, or to open, complete, or delete a Mark by name. Refer to what's on screen instead of naming it. • Spotlight. Your Marks, actions, and tags are searchable right from the Home Screen. Tap a result to open it in DoMarks. • Control Center. Add a Mark or jump straight to a list — or tap Surprise Me to open something you saved at random, without the app appearing at all. Put any of them on the Action button. • Shortcuts. A deep Shortcuts library for adding, finding, opening, completing, and organizing Marks, actions, and tags. Results come back as cards you can act on without leaving Siri. • Share Extension. Save links from Safari, social apps, or anywhere else - straight into DoMarks. • Drag & Drop. Drag a URL from any app directly into a list to instantly create a new Mark. • Widgets. Glance at your bookmarks from the Home Screen and jump right in. • Private by design. No ads, no tracking, and no bookmark ever leaves your own iCloud account. Go Premium and get more: • Manage unlimited marks • Create custom actions to label your marks your way • Create unlimited tags for better organization • View your full archive of completed marks • Import links from your browser or other services Going Premium also supports continued development - thank you!
