A real InkThink canvas: handwritten ideas arranged and connected by the person thinking them through.
A Handwriting Mind Mapping App for Your Ideas
Ink Canvas is a whiteboard and mind-map space where handwritten ideas can be arranged freely, like index cards on a corkboard. You create the content and decide the connections.
Think with your pen
Capture a phrase, a question or a rough thought in your own handwriting.
Arrange ideas freely
Move handwritten ideas around the canvas to explore groupings and relationships.
Make connections
Draw out relationships between your ideas and shape a map that makes sense to you.
A Visual Brainstorming App for Open Questions
Start before you have a tidy outline. Use the space to explore possibilities and find a useful direction.
Plan a piece of writing
Put possible themes on the canvas. Arrange supporting ideas around them until a direction begins to emerge.
Explore a project
Lay out questions, constraints and possibilities. Move related ideas together as you think through the work.
Connect what you learn
Write key concepts in your own words and draw the relationships you notice between them.
Brainstorm with a stylus
Use Apple Pencil or a compatible Android or Windows pen to get ideas out of your head and into a visual space.

Yes. Write your ideas on Ink Canvas, arrange them freely and draw connections. It is a way to build a handwritten mind map using your own pen input.
