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.

Your household already runs on texts: "did you feed the dog?", "we need detergent," "is the dishwasher clean or dirty?" HeyDidYou turns those messages into a shared pad that lives on everyone's home screen. See it. Tap it. Trust it. The widget is the app — you'll barely open anything. BUILT FOR HOW HOUSEHOLDS ACTUALLY WORK • A shared pad you and your people can see and update from the home screen • Daily tasks that reset on their own — every day, or on a cooldown ("walk the dog" every 4 hours, "water the plants" every 3 days) • A needs list for the stuff that sticks around until it's handled • House magnets — flip "dishwasher: clean / dirty" right from the widget, and everyone sees it • Heading out? One tap and the needs list follows you to the store • Gentle nudges, never naggy — and it always shows who DID something, never who didn't CAPTURE IN TWO TAPS Add a task or need straight from any widget. Paste a recipe or shopping list — or share a web page from Safari — and HeyDidYou finds the list on it and adds it for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks, lists, and notes live in your own iCloud. We never see them. No ads, no tracking, no account required. FREE, AND PRO FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE Free covers a small household. HeyDidYou Pro raises the limits — 500 tasks, 20 people, multiple widgets, more magnets, the events bar, and a year of history. One upgrade covers the whole pad; everyone on it gets Pro. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.heydidyou.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.heydidyou.app/privacy
