Mind maps, notebooks, flash cards, and charts — one canvas, no app-switching.

One canvas, every way you think

01 / Features
01

Infinite canvas

Drop nodes anywhere and connect them freely — no page edges, no forced hierarchy.

02

Connected notebook pages

Turn any node into a full page with tables and images, linked back to where the idea started.

03

Flash cards, built in

Turn notes into flash cards and review with spaced repetition, right next to the map they came from.

04

Freehand drawing + OCR

Sketch straight onto the canvas. Handwriting turns into searchable, editable text automatically.

05

Charts & data views

Switch a cluster of nodes into a chart when you need the numbers, not the shapes.

06

Task tracking on nodes

Give any node a status, priority, or due date. Your plan and your to-do list are the same canvas.

Mind map

03 / Process

From blank canvas to done

01

Drop a node

Start anywhere on the canvas with your first idea.

02

Connect it

Draw links as the idea branches into sub-ideas.

03

Expand a node

Turn it into a page, a flash card, a chart, or a sketch.

04

Pick it up anywhere

Everything syncs, so your next device opens right where you left off.

04 / Why we built it

Most tools force your ideas into outlines before you're ready.

We wanted a place where an idea could stay messy and connected for as long as it needed to — where a stray thought could sit next to a to-do list, a sketch, and a flash card, and none of it felt out of place. Idea Board grew out of that: a canvas that keeps up with how thinking actually happens, then quietly turns the useful parts into things you can act on and revisit.

05 / FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need an account to try it?

You can start on a board right away. Creating a free account lets you save your work and sync it across devices.

Does it work on tablets, for handwriting?

Yes — draw with a stylus or finger, and your handwriting is turned into searchable text automatically.

Can I use it for studying, not just planning?

Definitely. Turn any part of your map into flash cards and review them with built-in spaced repetition.

Is my data private?

Your boards are tied to your account and only visible to you.
