When you run a fresh install of Muse, you’re presented with a login screen. Given that, it’s worth digging in a bit to understand how sync works-not at a technical level, but how it impacts your daily work. This allows you to seamlessly switch between the two, using the one that best suits where you are in the thinking process. The Muse 2 beta includes native apps for both Mac and iPad, and connects them together via the our syncing service. Preferencesįrom the Preferences pane you can manage your membership, see your data size, export debug logs (useful when reporting bugs to us), and see and manage your connected devices. With Mac, you may have multiple Muse windows open and multiple tabs within each of those windows. IPad is, like all touch devices, optimized for a single app onscreen at a time.

Drag and dropĭragging items like text, images, PDFs, and files into Muse should work just as you expect.ĭragging cards or selections out (including to other Muse windows) requires that you hold option before beginning to drag. A context menu on an open board gives you a set of actions possible there as well. Card manipulation Move a card or selectionĬards and selections both have context menus showing actions that can be applied to the single card or cards and ink that are selected. You can move, resize, duplicate, and delete any card regardless of media type in the exact same way. Text, images, links, PDFs, videos, tweets-all are a card. This is your home board.Ĭards are the fundamental unit on the Muse open canvas. Cards and boardsĪfter you log in to Muse for Mac, you’ll be greeted by an open canvas. So for this memo, we’ll break down all the details on Muse for Mac.Īlong the way, we’ll describe all the Muse fundamentals, just in case you’re new to Muse or haven’t used it in a while. If you’re a longtime user of Muse for iPad you’ll be right at home in the Muse 2 beta on iPad, since not much has changed. But it’s optimized for what the desktop does best: focused productivity, heavy research, and bulk editing. Muse for Mac uses the same set of core concepts as its iPad sibling: nested boards, an open canvas, rich media content snippets, and so on. iPad, for example, is relaxed and informal and it’s fun to work directly with your hands.

Each device cues a unique mood and way of working. The vision for Muse 2 is to bring your boards to every computing device you use for work. Free of distractions and structure, Muse boards are a natural and intuitive workspace that help you stay lost in thought. Muse 1 is an iPad app purpose-built for active thinking. Check your Backstage Pass for installation instructions. Muse 2 for Mac and iPad is now available in beta to all of our Pro members.
