Every capability, in one place.

Pull in YouTube videos, PDFs, web pages, audio, images, and documents; IdeaM reads them for you.

Drop in an email or a whole thread → a clean outline of the key points, decisions, and to-dos.

Photograph a whiteboard, a sticky-note wall, or a hand-drawn mind map — IdeaM turns it into a structured branch you review before it lands.

Import many sources at once and IdeaM does the research and the synthesis: one coherent, structured outline of what matters.

Everything you gather becomes a private, searchable library you can question in your own words.

A passing thought lands in your Second Brain inbox from anywhere, in seconds — auto-tagged, and findable later with free, instant, offline search.

A document that stays current. Live Books checks any outline against the live web. Every proposed change comes with citations and a side-by-side preview — you accept or reject each one.

Generate a sub-outline from any topic, write or expand content, reformat with plain-English instructions — or just tell Quick Command (AI menu, or ⌘K) what you want done.

The prompt techniques that circulate as insider tricks — “be blunt with me,” “poke holes in this,” “explain it simply,” “give me the 20% that matters” — as one-tap chips under the question field. Combine a few; they guide the answer without changing your words. No extra cost.

One click turns a dense outline into the essentials.

Change its structure, length, or style on demand.

Teach IdeaM how you write, then every draft sounds like you.

AI shows you every edit before it happens; you approve, adjust, or discard.

Type or dictate what you want to see — the outline folds to just the matches, with visible filter rows you can edit by hand and save as named living views. Works fully without AI.

Right-click a section to see it as a board — sub-sections become columns, items become draggable cards, and dragging a card genuinely restructures the outline. Undoable, free, no AI.

Turn any outline into a working plan: task items with statuses, priorities, due dates, and prerequisites — with “blocked by” warnings and five instant no-AI reports. Opt-in via Settings.

Search that unfolds just the matches, zoom into one branch, filter by tag, multi-select for bulk edits, link outlines to each other, and dictate anywhere you can type.

Pick a workflow, answer a few questions, and a finished branch appears in your outline — a business plan, an SEO audit, a literature review, a client engagement, or a whole book, podcast, video or website. A workflow is an ordinary outline, so you can open one, change it, and write your own.

Turn a chapter into a two-host conversation that plays the moment it’s done.

Turn a chapter into a finished, branded narrated slideshow video.

Optionally render real AI-generated footage for every scene of your video — on your own Google key, typically about $1–2 per scene (estimates only), with unchanged scenes cached and never re-billed.

Add a themed instrumental under your video’s narration — it automatically ducks beneath the voice. On your own Google key, typically about 5–10 cents per video, estimates only.

Regenerate a podcast or video you’ve made before, and only the sections you edited get rebuilt — “2 of 4 changed” — faster, and cheaper on paid voices and scenes.

Turn a branch into a shooting sheet for an animated video — every scene with its image prompt, its animation prompt and its spoken dialogue, ready to paste into free tools.

Turn an outline into a branded slide deck that opens in PowerPoint or Keynote — with your data auto-charted.

Draw a mind map or flowchart straight from your outline’s structure — free, instant, no AI used.

Produce your work in 21 languages.

Turn any branch into a ready-to-send email (Gmail, your mail app, copy, or download).

One idea → ready-to-post content for X, Instagram (branded carousels), LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, and YouTube, in your voice.

Not a text dump: on the Mac app, a title page, a table of contents, and an index, generated from your outline and ready to share.

Turn an outline into a polished multi-page website — pick from 8 professional templates and customize the look.

Publish any outline as a clean, read-only web page on our domain and send the link — update it anytime, and unpublish whenever you like.

Your work leaves in whatever shape you need: documents (PDF, and Word with a cover and navigable table of contents), e-book (ePub with cover and chapters), slides, outliners (OPML, Obsidian, Notion, and more), mind maps, and data formats. Never locked in.

On-device AI and bring-your-own-key; your thinking stays yours.

Mac, iPhone, iPad, and web.

Every AI draft runs an automatic check that flags possible errors before you send.

Every AI operation that could cost real money tells you who pays and what it typically costs — and asks first. A private on-device ledger records your AI activity for your eyes only.

Automatic backups with restore snapshots, an auto-snapshot before every AI transform, results saved as new outlines by default, and one Undo that reverses anything.

Outside AI assistants — like Claude Desktop — can read and search your outlines, but only suggest changes. You approve everything, in IdeaM.
