A visual workspace for creative work
Spatial is a place to lay out what you are working on: notes, pictures, links, lists, tables and diagrams, arranged the way you think and nested as deep as you like.
Every kind of card you need, side by side, and boards inside boards to keep them in order. Double-click a board to go in; the path at the top takes you back out.
Drop in pictures, paste links and words, and move everything around until it makes sense. Nothing is in a fixed place: that is the point.
Keep the plan next to the ideas. Tables work out totals with formulas, charts draw themselves from tables, and to-do lists take due dates, reminders, repeats and people, with every task from every board in one list.
Shapes for flowcharts, org charts and Venn diagrams, joined by lines that follow them as you move things. Start from a template, or from a blank board.
Invite people to a board and work on it at the same time: you see their pointers, their faces and what they have selected, and can follow their view. Talk things over in comments pinned to cards, with replies, reactions and @mentions, and resolve a thread once it is settled.
Present a board full screen and step through its cards with the arrow keys, in reading order or in an order you choose, leaving out what you like. Or share a read-only link, which opens without an account.
Catch things the moment you find them, move in from the tools you use now, and take your boards with you whenever you like.
The rest, in brief.
Boards you have opened stay on your device, and changes sync when you are back online.
Search every board at once, with phrases, left-out words, and filters for the kind of card, the board, a label or a date.
Your own named colours for cards. Rename one and every card wearing it follows, and a click finds them all.
Put the same note, document or to-do list on several boards: change one and they all change.
Nearly eighty to start from, from moodboards and storyboards to shot lists, sprint boards and wedding plans, or save your own.
Undo covers everything you do on a board, History shows how it was and brings back what you need, and the trash keeps what you delete.
Long notes with a title that open over the whole window, written together, and saved as Word, Markdown or PDF.
Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify or map link and it plays in its card when you press Play.
Give each board an emoji, a colour or a picture as its icon, and a colour, gradient or picture behind it. Star the ones you use most.
Every button names its shortcut as you point at it, and pressing ? lists them all.
A short tour of the controls, and a list of first things to try that ticks itself off as you go.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code to search your boards, read them and add to them, once you allow it.
Spatial follows your system's theme, installs like an app on a computer, tablet or phone, and works with a mouse, a trackpad or your fingers: pinch to zoom, hold a card to move it, double-tap to write. On a phone, List view reads a board from top to bottom, to tick off tasks and answer comments.
Begin with a blank canvas or one of nearly eighty templates, and bring the rest in as you go.
