FOR DESIGNERS
The visual workspace
built for designers.
Storyflow is where designers plan the work on one board: the moodboard, the brief, the references, and the project, side by side. Gather visual direction, plan the project, and let the AI draft the brief, all on one infinite canvas. Free forever, no credit card.

What is the best planning tool for designers?
For a designer, the best planning tool keeps the moodboard, the brief, the references, and the project on one visual board, not scattered across apps. Storyflow is an infinite canvas built for that, with an AI that drafts the brief and reads the whole board. It plans the work; you design it in your design tool. Free plan; paid from $9.99 per month.
Used by creative professionals at:
Artlist
Pixar
Nike
Red Bull
The North Face
Porsche
Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.

What designers need from a planning workspace
Design work does not start in the design tool; it starts before it, in the brief, the references, the moodboard, and the plan. That thinking layer is where a project is won or lost, and it is exactly the part most designers do in a scatter of tools: references in a browser, a moodboard in one app, the brief in a doc, the plan in a spreadsheet. By the time the real design starts, the direction is spread across five places.
What a designer needs is one visual place for the pre-design thinking, where the moodboard sits beside the brief beside the references, so the direction is one coherent thing the client and the team can see. Design is visual, so the planning should be visual too, not a document that fights the work.
Storyflow is that workspace. Gather references, build the moodboard, draft the brief, and plan the project on one infinite canvas, with an AI that drafts the brief and reads the whole board. Then you design in Figma or your tool of choice with a clear, agreed direction, instead of starting from a scatter of half-formed ideas.
HOW IT WORKS
Plan a design project in four steps.
Gather the direction, draft the brief, and plan the project, all on one board before you open the design tool.
01
Open a free canvas
Start in the browser with a free account. No app to install and no card to enter, just one infinite board for the project.
02
Gather references and build the moodboard
Pull references onto the board and group them into a moodboard, so the visual direction is clear before you design.
03
Draft the brief with AI
Ask the AI to draft the design brief from the moodboard and your notes, so the objective and direction are agreed up front.
04
Plan the project and hand off
Lay out the project and deliverables, share view-only with the client, then design in your tool with a clear direction.
The pre-design thinking, all on one board.
Not a scatter of references, docs, and moodboard apps. One canvas where the direction and the plan live together.
Visual direction
Moodboards with references on the board
Pull references onto the canvas and group them into a moodboard, so the visual direction is one thing the client and the team can see and agree on before you design.

The brief, drafted
A design brief the AI writes
Ask the AI to draft the design brief from the moodboard and your notes, so the objective, audience, and direction are agreed before the first pixel.

Explore ideas
Map concepts before you design
Sketch directions and concepts as cards you can move and cluster, so you explore the space before committing hours in the design tool.

Brand direction
Develop the brand direction
Build the brand direction, its voice and visual world, beside the moodboard, so the design serves a clear strategy rather than a vague vibe.

BUILT FOR DESIGNERS
Made for the thinking before the design.
Keep the moodboard, the brief, and the plan together, and let the AI draft the parts you would rather not.
Visual, like the work
A canvas the design thinking fits
Everything together: The references, the moodboard, the brief, and the plan live on one board, so the direction is coherent instead of scattered across apps.
References beside the plan: Pin images and references right next to the brief and the project, so the direction and the reasoning stay connected.
Infinite canvas: Zoom from the whole project down to a single reference. The board grows with the work, not a rigid template.
Plan, then design
Agree the direction before the pixels
Client-ready moodboards: Share a view-only link so the client signs off on the direction before you design, which protects the hours you are about to spend.
The brief on the board: Keep the brief beside the moodboard, so the objective and the visual direction never drift apart during the project.
Hand off with clarity: Design in Figma or your tool of choice with an agreed direction, instead of starting from a scatter of ideas.
The AI drafts the words
An AI that reads the board
Draft the brief: Ask the AI to draft the design brief from the moodboard and your notes, so the least-fun part of a project is done in seconds.
Reads the whole board: Because the AI sees the moodboard and the references, the brief it drafts reflects the actual direction, not a generic template.
@-mention your context: Bring in up to one Blueprint and three documents, brand guidelines or a spec, and the AI works against them.
Explore templates for your project
Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.

What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay

“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”

Designer questions, answered.
Everything designers ask about planning in Storyflow.
For a designer, the best planning tool keeps the moodboard, the brief, the references, and the project on one visual board, before the design tool. Storyflow is an infinite canvas built for that, with an AI that drafts the brief and reads the whole board. It is not where you design (that stays in Figma); it is where you plan the direction so the design starts clear.
Plan the direction before you design. Put it on one board.
