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.

KLUKK!

Read full description

KLUKK is the stopwatch that remembers for you. Tap the big pink button to start timing. Tap it again to stop, and the session is saved instantly as a real event in your iOS Calendar — already named, dated, and placed on the right day. No forms, no logbook, no copy-and-paste. Whether you bill by the hour, track focus blocks, log workouts, time your practice, or just want an honest record of where your day went, KLUKK turns the seconds you measure into something you can look back on. WHY KLUKK • One-tap stopwatch — start and stop from a single button, with a satisfying woodblock click and a gentle haptic. • Saved automatically — every session becomes a native iOS Calendar event in the calendar you choose. No destination to pick. • Home Screen widget — start and stop without opening the app, in three sizes, with a live-ticking timer. • Target timer — set a goal time and KLUKK rings when you reach it, even with the phone locked. • Export anytime — share any session as a standard .ics file, or your whole log as .xml. • Name presets — quick-pick titles like Work, Workout, or Meditation, or templates that fill in the time, date, count, and duration. • Dark mode — a warm, earthy night-time look; pick System, Light, or Dark. • Centisecond precision, rename-on-stop, and your choice of calendar. • Yours alone — no account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your sessions stay on your device and in the calendar you choose. KLUKK is designed to be the fastest distance between “go” and “logged.” Open it, tap once, get on with your work — and trust that it's all written down. Built by NNV ehf.
