Causal

Causal is a free Mac app that gives creative projects an infinite canvas for moodboards, notes, files, images and links, with an AI agent that reads the whole board as context. Its makers argue that early ideas suffer on linear pages, so references sit and connect spatially, and the agent can produce briefs, plans and research from what is on the board. Open it at the start of a visual project, when app flows, brand research or a storyboard need to sit together before anything is designed.
