A desktop app that gives you an infinite canvas for your notes, research and references, with an AI agent that reads what is on the canvas and acts on it. Instead of a scrolling document, your material sits in front of you at once — cards, images, links, tables and sketches, connected to each other so that over time the connections, not the folders, are how you find things again. Because the agent can read that canvas, you never re-explain your material: you point at a card and ask, and it answers by proposing edits you review and then apply or undo as a single batch.
A chatbot starts from an empty box every time, so you have to describe your context before you can ask anything. Lino AI Canvas starts from the canvas you have already built. You can say "connect this line to that reference" or "based on these notes, what am I missing?" and the agent already knows what "this" and "these" point at.
Those are surfaces you arrange things on. Lino AI Canvas is a surface an agent can work on with you: it reads the canvas as structured context, edits cards, draws connections and builds interactive mini-apps in place. Connections here are typed and reusable rather than decorative, and the same card can live on several canvases at once — edit it in one place and it updates everywhere.
Interactive mini-apps that Lino AI Canvas generates from your notes and runs on the canvas — a physics simulator, a drum kit, a slide deck, a small custom tool. They are built from the material already in front of you, so knowledge does not only get recorded; it can run. Sparks are available on Pro and above.
Yes. Lino AI Canvas syncs bi-directionally with local Markdown files, which covers Obsidian vaults, Logseq folders and Bear exports — edit in your own editor and the canvas follows, and the other way round. Web pages, images and documents can be dropped straight onto a canvas.
macOS and Windows today, as a desktop app. One account syncs your canvases between them.
In a single database file on your own computer, with your images and other files beside it — an ordinary SQLite file, not a format locked to us. Signing in adds sync, which copies your work through our servers so your devices agree. Export all writes the whole library out as one zip whenever you want a copy that does not depend on us.
Yes. Every change is written to a database on your own computer before anything else happens, so the app is fully usable with the network off. Changes made offline queue up on disk, not in memory: closing the app or losing power does not drop them. They go up the next time you are online.
For 30 days, yes. Deleted cards, images, links, tables and sketches sit in the Deleted filter of the artifacts gallery with their previews intact. Drag one back onto a canvas and it returns, along with the connections it had to things that still exist. Separately, cards, tables and sketches keep a version history you can open from their right-click menu.
The later edit wins and becomes what you see on both devices — but the edit that lost is kept as a version of that card, and the device that lost tells you once that it happened. You open the version history, compare the two, and keep the one you meant. This holds whichever device reconnects first.
Three ways. Lino keeps a daily backup on your own machine and keeps the last seven, and Restore to this day puts your whole library back to any of them. Export all writes everything out as one zip at any time. And if you are signed in, your work is on our servers too, which are backed up daily with seven days kept.
Your account moves to Free. Nothing is deleted and nothing locks — every space and canvas you made stays open and editable. What stops is new creation past the Free limits: 1 Space and 100 total Artifacts.
A month of model work — every reply, every agent run, every autocomplete draws from the same pool. It refills on the first of the month, and unused credits do not roll over.
Not yet — checkout is still being built, so no card is charged today. While Lino is in beta you can claim a free month of Pro from the button at the top of this page, and we will open paid plans before it runs out.
The price, not the plan. Paying for a year up front takes 20% off the monthly rate; what you get is identical either way.
