Allume

Allume is a visual thinking and brainstorming app that uses nested boards to help users organize ideas, notes, images, and other content on a single canvas. It solves the problem of scattered thoughts and complex information by providing a flexible, non-linear workspace. The app targets designers, product teams, and individual creators who need a tool for ideation, research synthesis, and planning. It is available as a native app for iPad, iPhone, and Mac, with a local-first data approach and optional collaboration features.
