About Loose Thought
Loose Thought is a paper-like mind mapping tool designed for visual thinkers who want a simple way to explore, organize, and develop ideas. The platform lets users type anywhere on a blank canvas, arrange notes into topic cards, and connect related concepts visually. It supports images, highlights, rich typography, text sizing, embedded links, and cross-linked notes to help users build deeper understanding around a topic. Loose Thought is built for active thinking rather than passive information storage, encouraging users to form connections and shape knowledge in their own minds. The app also includes offline functionality, fast performance, real-time collaboration, mobile access, full keyboard support, and markdown import and export. Loose Thought helps students, writers, researchers, creators, and deep thinkers turn scattered ideas into structured visual knowledge maps.

Capacities
Capacities is designed as “a studio for your mind,” offering a space where everything you think, learn, and create can live in one connected system rather than scattered across apps and folders. It replaces traditional file-based organization with an object-based approach, where ideas such as people, books, projects, or notes become structured objects that can be linked together, forming a living network of knowledge. Instead of navigating complex hierarchies, users can connect anything to anything, with bi-directional links, backlinks, and a graph view that reveals relationships and patterns across their notes. It combines simple note-taking with structured data, allowing users to create templates, define properties, and view information in multiple formats such as lists, tables, or galleries. Daily notes act as a central inbox for thoughts, automatically organizing content into a timeline that reflects how ideas evolve over time.
