Idea management app

An idea management app that starts with the mess.

Write first, structure later, develop the parts that deserve it. Nothing has to be filed before you have worked out what it is, and nothing you build later replaces what you wrote.

Opens the app as a guest. Nothing leaves your device until you ask.

Finding it again

Search reads everything you wrote.

Not just the titles the app derived for you: the whole dump. A word you typed once, halfway through a ramble, still brings the idea back.

Ideas have a status, not a folder

Every idea sits in one of five stages, so you can see what is moving and what is stuck.

Find it again in one search

Full-text search across every dump and plan, with colour-coded folders on Pro.

Nothing quietly goes cold

Review surfaces the ideas you have not touched, so the good ones get a second look.

One library, three platforms

Questions

About managing ideas in ideaboxd.

What makes an idea management app different from a to-do list?
A to-do list assumes you already know what to do. ideaboxd holds the stage before that: a raw thought you have not decided about yet, which you develop into a goal, a risk or a next step when you are ready. Each of those keeps a link back to the words it came from, so the finished list can still be read back to the thinking behind it.
How many ideas can I manage for free?
Three active ideas, on every platform, with all four steps of the workflow. Pro removes the cap for €7.99 a month or €59.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, and one-off credit bundles start at €2.49 for 5 if you would rather not subscribe.
Can I group ideas into collections?
Yes. Pro adds colour-coded folders you can filter by, alongside the status filters and full-text search that everyone gets.
What happens to an idea I finish?
Mark it Ready and export it as Markdown, plain text, a checklist, a project brief or a PDF. Archiving keeps it searchable without it counting against your active ideas.
