What is Milanote?

Milanote is a combination between a project management software & organizing tool. It helps you to plan projects, build visual workspaces for ideas, helps you collaborate with others & help keep checklists of things to do.

What does Milanote do?

Many people tend to use this

  • Allows you to add notes, boards, checklists next to images or documents.

  • You can use the canvas to help build an idea, or project canvas.

  • Bring in inspiration from the Milanote web clipper via Chrome.

  • Collaborate with your team using the annotate mode which is like Miro & Apple Freeform.

Who uses Milanote?

People who get on best with it:

  • Creative individuals or visual thinkers.

  • Those who want something that combines notes, images & tasks.

  • People who want to collaborate together on a project.

Is Milanote worth it?

It is one of the best visual collaboration tools out there.

A strange combination between projects and organizer, it feels like Pinterest had a baby with Miro. You don't have to use this with others, but you can. The team functions work very well for those teams who are visually led and like to see how projects are mapping out. It won't be good for those who find Gantt charts effective for roadmapping, but more for those who want to see the iterations of each project build towards the final masterpiece.

If you're in a creative sector, like a designer, group of illustrators, or validate your work through visual consolidating ideas. It is a good personal alternative to Miro. It is recommended most for those who want something clean, minimal and works well on both web & mobile devices. People tend to get on well with Milanote as it keeps things organized whilst allowing you to fan out ideas, without getting it out of hand which some whiteboard apps can do.

Pros

  • Great set of templates for jumping into items.

  • Good features for structured project work like "unsorted"

  • Mobile apps work well for capturing on the go.

  • Used by so many popular creative focused companies & individual

  • Perfect for using with work & life in unison.

Cons

  • Not designed for those who want structured organization like a to-do list app layout.

Really love everything about this app but ...

I absolutely love this app the way it looks it's templates its extremely easy to use features it customobility how smooth it is and how easy it is organize ideas. I wish it had a local based option for privacy and was a little bit more affordable and more options to make a task table where you can set customizable options like assigning each task a priority level. Also a standard board look where you can just save images and videos in a set equally spaced grid All in all it is great good-looking looking easy-to-use app.
