About Milanote

Milanote is a hosted visual workspace where creatives collect and arrange ideas on freeform boards. Designers, writers, filmmakers and agencies use it to build mood boards, plan projects and keep references in one place instead of scattered across folders and chats.

Boards typically hold notes, images, links, files, to-do lists and sub-boards that can be dragged around and grouped, so a project can move visually from early inspiration to a more structured plan. The vendor site could not be read when this entry was prepared, so confirm the current features, templates, collaboration options and plans on the Milanote website.

Milanote is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service with web and mobile access. It is relevant to freelance creatives and small teams who think visually and need a lighter alternative to full project management software.
