Arky

Everything lives on an infinite canvas you can pan and zoom. Drop fragments wherever they make sense, then drag, group, and nest them into shape. Compared with a normal visual note taking app, it's closer to spreading papers on a table than typing into a document. That matters more than it sounds.

Arky's AI works from what's already on your canvas. No re-explaining. Think of it as an AI mind map tool that already knows your material before you ask. Ask for a diagram or a restructure and it responds to your actual material. That context awareness is what separates it from bolting a chatbot onto a note app.

You can turn content into a clear diagram in seconds, or arrange a project into a mindmap for a structural overview, and both of those options save you the slow, fiddly work of drawing boxes and dragging connector lines by hand whenever the structure shifts. It works like an AI diagram generator that reads your canvas first. That speeds up revision more than it speeds up the first draft.

When the structure is set, Doc view gives you a focused space to flesh out the details. It's the bridge between messy thinking and a shareable document. Simple idea, big difference.

Keep a PDF open, highlight what matters, and drag those highlights straight into your draft, which means the source and the sentence it supports stay in the same place instead of drifting apart across a downloads folder and three browser tabs. That's a small thing until you've lost a citation.

Team members can build a work structure together on the same canvas. It's labeled beta, so expect rough edges if you rely on it for daily teamwork.

Arrows show how concepts relate across the canvas, and while that sounds basic, it's the exact thing that turns a pile of disconnected notes into something you can read, defend in a meeting, and hand to a teammate without a verbal walkthrough attached.
