For the thinking
that isn't a doc yet.

Docs are for finished thinking. Studio holds everything before that: a list of ideas you might write, and open canvases to work them out. When an idea is ready, it becomes a doc in one click.

Ideas

A list of what you
might write next.

Give each idea a type, a status and the place it will live, like your blog or your newsletter. Sort it as a list or group it on a board. It is deliberately simple: a place to keep ideas from getting lost, not a content calendar.

Turn into Doc

When it's ready,
it becomes a doc.

One click creates a real doc from any idea and moves it to In progress. The two stay linked: rename the doc and the idea updates, rename the idea and the open doc updates too, live.

How it works

01

Jot the idea

Add it to Ideas with a title. Type, platform and category are optional.

02

Work it out on a canvas

Pin the docs and notes it touches, add colors, shapes and images, draw the connections.

03

Write it as a doc

Turn it into a doc, then open your canvas notes beside it in split view.
