A note-taking system for visual follow-through

Capture anything. Turn it into what happens next.

Record a meeting or bring in a note, PDF, web clip, or sketch. Clarify what matters, confirm the next actions, and review the result later—without forcing every kind of thinking into the same shape.

OmniCanvas — Demo

A system, not another app hunt

The app is only one part. The loop makes notes useful.

Capture in the shape that feels natural, add enough structure to understand it, decide what happens next, and review it before the context goes stale. AI helps with the work; it does not replace the system.

Capture

Start in the shape your thinking actually takes.

Write, draw, paste images, place sticky notes, and connect ideas without forcing them into a document outline first.

  • Infinite canvas with rich text and drawing tools
  • Templates for meetings, planning, and research
  • Web clips, PDFs, images, and calendar-aware text

What if we…

Start from the customer’s existing workflow?

Visual direction

Understand

Turn a conversation into work you can act on.

Record microphone and system audio without adding a bot to the call. Keep the transcript beside decisions, questions, and follow-ups on the same canvas.

  • Live transcription and searchable recordings
  • Structured recaps, decisions, and action items
  • Transcript Q&A and reusable prompt workflows

Act

Close the loop before the note disappears into storage.

Confirm the actions, preserve open questions, and write one sentence that makes the note useful to future you. A weekly Review queue brings edited work back at the right time.

  • Closeout prompts on ordinary notes and meeting captures
  • Actionable Notes template for consistent structure
  • Review, archive, and cleanup workflow built into the library

Your data stays yours

Optional end-to-end encryption and complete exports.

Grows without a rebuild

Folders, tags, views, and links scale with your library.

AI remains optional

Core capture and organization work without an AI workflow.

A companion, not a monopoly

Use the app that fits the moment. Keep one system for what matters.

No single note app has to win every moment. Use a native app for fast handwriting or one-off markup, then move durable project context into a repeatable capture, clarify, act, and review loop.

01

Capture where it is fastest

Apple Notes, Goodnotes, Preview, paper, or any tool already at hand.

02

Clarify the useful context

Bring the relevant PDF, image, web clip, recording, or extracted text together around the idea.

03

Close the loop

Confirm actions and open questions, then write the one sentence future you needs.

04

Review and recover

Use a weekly queue to review, archive, or clean up—then retrieve through search, links, or the graph.

The core canvas, organization, and sync stay free. Paid plans fund ongoing transcription and AI compute.

One source, all the way to follow-through

See the full capture, clarify, act, and review loop before the account ask.

01

Capture the real source

Start with a meeting, note, PDF, web clip, image, or sketch. In the sample, a prepared 42-minute discovery call is already there.

02

Clarify what changed

Keep the context and evidence, then pull out the decision, key insights, open questions, and useful visual extracts.

03

Decide what happens next

Confirm action items and follow-up dates, then add a one-sentence takeaway that makes the note understandable later.

04

Review, archive, recover

Use the Review queue to close or archive the note, then retrieve it weeks later with its original context intact.

Why people switch to OmniCanvas

We're a new, independent app in open beta. Here's what makes OmniCanvas different from the notes app you're using now.

Think the way your brain does

Ideas don't arrive in a straight line. Spread notes, sketches, and links across an infinite canvas and see how everything connects — at a glance.

One canvas for everything

Meeting transcripts, web clips, freehand drawings, and typed notes live side by side. No more scattering your thinking across five different apps.

Private by default

Local-first with optional cloud sync — and I can switch on end-to-end encryption per folder, so not even OmniCanvas can read those notes. My notes are mine, and they'll never sell them.
