Visually organize what you see, think and want to remember.
Notes
There are two types of notes in Spatial. Short ones like lists, phone numbers or wifi passwords are represented as resizable sticky notes. Longer ones like essays, articles or meeting summaries are represented as sheets of paper.
Visuals
Most popular media files are supported, so you can add photos, graphics, motion, animation, gifs and clips. Useful for keeping notes together with visual references, building an inspiration library or mood boarding.
Webclips
Create magazine-style snapshots of any website, in full desktop class layout. Useful for saving a collection of visual references of websites you find inspiring, or just as beautiful bookmarks.
Stacks
Stacks is an organic, lightweight way of grouping things together - without all the structure. Bunch stuff together, click to expand and open to view what’s inside. They’re messy in just the right way.
Scratch Pad
Similar to opening Spotlight, option + space brings up a panel for capturing thoughts that you don’t want to forget. In the moment and without switching context. The shortcut itself is of course customizable.
Built on Markdown
All notes are formatted and stored as Markdown, so you can export and move any note to any other notes app. Markdown is an open format that all text editors support. For that same reason, markdown is also what AI models prefer as input.

Import bookmarks from X
Since a lot of folks browse X for inspirational content like ui or brand design, and, a lot folks want to use Spatial for organizing that same type of inspirational content - it makes sense to be able to browse bookmarks from X right in the app itself. And from there simply drag them in to a space to start laying them out in a nice way.
Introducing -> Spatial for macOS
Spatial started as a concrete idea back around Christmas of 2024. After spending about a month putting the interface and the design together in Figma, I shared some simple screens on Threads. Just some mockups and a short description of what I was going for. The response I got seemed completely outsized to what I was expecting. 800 likes on a simple post before anything was even built felt like it wasn't just me wanting this app to be made.
This kickstarted development in January 2025, and the beta was launched in October the same year. After running the beta with a couple hundred users, the app finally launches publicly in March 2026. I'm super happy to have made it this far, now let's see what 2026 has in store.
May 2026
Labels on Spaces
Labels will be a simple way to group things together on a space under a common title. Similar to dropping in a text on a Figma canvas. Coming soon.
Summer 2026
Syncing and backing up
At the moment all files in Spatial are stored in a local database only. There is no server that your documents and assets are synced to. But, the app has been prepared for syncing through iCloud, and you'll see this added to the app during the summer. It's a highly prioritized feature.
2026
Foundational writing features
The vision for Spatial is to be a fully featured note taker + task manager embedded into a visual canvas. For that to become a reality, there are some glaring text editing features still missing, notably dividers, numbered lists, tables, internal links, font selections, inline images/video and slash commands. These features will be added throughout 2026.
Summer 2026
Search on spaces and in notes
Being able to quickly find what you're looking for is of course a foundational feature of an app that does organization of your things. The good news is that all content in Spatial is stored in an ultra fast local database right on your Mac. This means that once the search feature is available, it will be capable of finding what you're looking for fast and across all your notes and spaces. No network delays needed.
Summer 2026
Import and view .pdf
Being able to import and view PDFs has been a popular request from folks running the beta version, and will be coming up pretty soon. Editing PDFs will come at some later time.
Summer 2026
Sidebar layer view
Spatial layouts are great, but sometimes what you really need is a structured layer list to find what you're looking for. This will be coming in not too long.
2026/2027
iPhone / iPad
An iPhone companion app to reach your content wherever you are, and an iPad app with pencil support would be great additions to Spatial, and they'll be coming.
