Infinite Canvas
See the Patterns Hiding in Your Research
Move from scattered sources to clear structure. Synthesize faster with a visual canvas to lay out pages, highlights, and notes.
When Linear Notes Break Down
You just read 14 sources for your research project. PDFs, web articles, and notes scattered across 3 different apps. You scroll up and down, trying to hold it all in your head. You lose track of which evidence supports which claim. This is where linear notes fail.
Studios fixes this. Drag your notes onto an infinite canvas. Cluster the arguments that agree. Put counterclaims side-by-side. Connect evidence to claims with actual lines. Suddenly, the structure you couldn't see in a scrolling document becomes obvious. And because every card stays linked to its source passage, you're not working from memory—you're working from evidence.
Why Studios Work
Non-Linear Synthesis
Think spatially, not sequentially. Bring order to your knowledge by spatially arranging evidence, sources, and notes.
Linked Source Pages
Pull PDFs, articles, and feeds into one evidence map with context intact.
Traceable Highlight Cards
Move highlights freely while keeping one-click access to original passages.
Theme Clusters
Group related cards to expose gaps, overlaps, and weak support early.
FAQ
What can I put on the Studio canvas?
Studio supports files, individual pages, highlights, sticky notes, and notes. Each card keeps a connection to the original passage, so you can validate claims quickly while reorganizing structure.
How do cards stay linked to sources?
Dragging highlights or notes into Studio preserves links to source passages automatically. You can click a card to jump back to context in the original document, which keeps visual synthesis grounded in evidence.
Is Studio included in the free tier?
The free tier includes 1 studio capped at 100 nodes. You can create canvases, add cards, and organize ideas spatially; paid tiers expand limits and advanced capabilities.
How is Studio different from other canvas tools?
Most canvas tools are generic whiteboards. Studio is tied to your reading and writing, so you can synthesize without breaking flow. That means less manual importing and fewer unsupported claims during synthesis.
