Instead of lists and folders, you get a zoomable grid where you can place notes wherever they feel right - cluster related ideas together, spread a project across the canvas, or keep a corner just for quick thoughts. FEATURES - Large canvas — pan and zoom freely across a grid canvas - Place notes anywhere — long press anywhere on the canvas to drop a note - Rich notes — add a title, body text, color, images, videos, and PDF attachments - Pin notes — lock important notes in place so they don't move while you pan - Search — find any note instantly by title or content - Export & import — back up all your notes as a single JSON file - Fully offline — everything stays on your device, nothing is sent anywhere DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No cloud sync. Just you and your canvas.
