What Milanote is
A visual workspace for organising creative projects: boards where you place notes, images, links and to-do lists, and share them with a client or a team.
- Flexible boards that hold anything, from images to task lists
- Real-time collaboration and client sharing
- Templates for briefs, storyboards and moodboards
- A web clipper that saves images from anywhere
Where it stops
Milanote is where you arrange references once you have them. It does not tell you what the references are. Drop twenty images on a board and the board is still twenty images; the style they share, the palette underneath it and the typefaces that go with it are still in your head.
What Omoro is
Omoro is a visual research system: 224 named design styles, each taken apart into its palette, typefaces, materials, history and where it shows up in real work. The library is open to everyone without an account; the Studio, where your own references become one directable style, opens to the waitlist.

Which to use
Keep Milanote. Keep Milanote if your job is running a project: briefs, tasks, client feedback, all in one place. Nothing here replaces that.
Add Omoro. Add Omoro when the board is full and you still cannot say what the look is. Name the style, take its palette and type, then go back and build.
Pricing
Milanote has a free plan with limits on notes and images, and paid plans per person. Omoro's library is free without an account; the Studio opens to the waitlist.
What is coming
Next in the Studio, opening to the waitlist first: image and video generation from a style, collage building, inpainting, reference saving and taste detection.
