Twenty kinds of block, one canvas
Thinking, planning, tracking, writing and presenting are the same activity split across half a dozen products that do not talk to each other. Umbra collapses them onto a canvas that lives on your own disk.
- Local before anything elseBoards are files in a folder you chose. Open the app on a plane and everything works, because nothing was ever fetched.
- Plan, track and present in one placeThe same canvas holds the thinking, the board that tracks it, and the deck you show it with. Nothing is exported between them.
- Your AI account, not oursAsk for a change in plain English and Umbra works through the assistant you already pay for. We never see a prompt or mark up a token.
Think out loud. Connect cards and the lines follow them, however far you drag either one.
Ten jobs, one canvas
Plan it, map it, track it, write it up and present it — without exporting anything from one tool into another. Every screenshot below is the running application, not a mock-up.
Ask it in plain English. Umbra works through the AI account you already pay for — we never see a prompt or charge for a token.
Priced like software, not like a seat
Ten tools' worth of app, free on the machine you install it on. There is no per-seat AI cost, because you bring your own account. Sync is the only part with a marginal cost to us, so it is the only part that costs anything.
- Infinite canvas — planning boards, mind maps, nested wikis
- Kanban with work-in-progress limits and swimlanes
- Presentations drawn on the board, and deck export
- Word processor and spreadsheet, over real .docx and .xlsx
- PDF reader with highlights, comments and page editing
- Notes that compute, typeset formulas, voice notes
- The AI assistant — through the account you already pay for
- Markdown, PDF, SVG, PNG and HTML export
- Back up to your own Google Drive
- Works fully offline, forever
- Everything in Solo
- Your boards across all of your own machines
- Shared boards with end-to-end encryption
- Private boards that never enter the sync set
- Live cursors and presence while two people are in
- Backup we host, restored from any machine
Annual billing only — there is no monthly plan. The licence gates sync and nothing else: no feature your own machine can provide is ever withheld, and the app keeps working offline whether or not it can reach us.
Start with one board and see how far it stretches
Open a blank canvas, drop in the notes you already have, and add the column, the document or the spreadsheet when you need it. Nothing has to be set up first, and nothing has to move between apps later.
Track the work
Columns are regions on the canvas, so a card's status is simply where it sits.
Present from the plan
Draw frames around what you want to show. The board is the deck, and it exports to one HTML file.
Write it up properly
A word processor and a spreadsheet in the same app, editing the .docx and .xlsx themselves.
