What it does
Milanote is a visual note-taking and planning workspace where notes sit beside images, links, files, and tasks on flexible boards. Its official pages describe nested boards, comments, web clipping, templates, and the option to expand a note into longer-form writing. The Free plan allows 100 notes, images, or links and 10 file uploads; Pro is listed at $9.99 per person per month billed annually or $12.50 billed monthly.
Milanote puts notes on a visual board rather than separating every idea into a text-only notebook. A board can hold short notes beside images, links, files, and to-do items, making it useful for a creative brief, research collection, or an early project outline where relationships are easier to see spatially. The help center describes nesting boards inside other boards, while the product page lists templates, web clipping, comments, and longer-form writing.
The Free plan allows 100 notes, images, or links and 10 file uploads. Pro removes those content limits and is listed at $9.99 per person per month when billed annually or $12.50 billed monthly. This is a helpful way to test the visual approach, but the free tier has a concrete content ceiling. I reviewed official product, help, and pricing pages; I did not test a shared board or import files.
