A workspace with taste, for people with taste

The thinking layer
around your design file.

Storyflow is the product-thinking workspace for the work that feeds the design file: user flows, journey maps, research synthesis, information architecture, and wireframe planning on a truly infinite canvas. Describe the problem and AI lays out a starting board, then take the decisions into Figma. It is not a hi-fi prototyping tool, and that is on purpose.

Where does UX thinking live before the design file?

Before the design file, UX thinking lives in the research, the flows and the structure, and most of a UX project happens there. Storyflow is an AI visual workspace that holds the thinking around your design file on one infinite canvas: user flows and journeys, research in affinity clusters, information architecture, and wireframe planning. That thinking is the interview notes you have to make sense of, the flows you sketch to understand the problem, the journey map that shows where users struggle, and the information architecture you argue over. That thinking usually ends up scattered across a research repo, a slide of boxes and arrows, sticky notes on a wall, and a doc nobody reads twice, and the reasoning behind the final screens quietly disappears.

Storyflow gives that work one home. On an infinite canvas you map user flows and journeys as connected cards, pull interview quotes into affinity clusters, lay out a site map or IA, and rough out wireframe structure right next to the research that justifies it. Every item is a real card you drag, recolor, and regroup, so the thinking takes the shape of the problem instead of snapping to a rigid template.

To be clear about the lane: Storyflow is not a hi-fi prototyping tool. Figma owns the interface file, the components, and the clickable prototype, and you keep using it to design and ship the actual screens. Storyflow is the flows, research, and planning layer that comes before and beside that work. When the direction is decided, you share a view-only link with product and engineering and carry the approved flows and IA into your design tool with the reasoning intact.

Ultra fast from brief to board

From research pile to agreed direction in four steps.

Start from a blank board or a single prompt. Either way the thinking stays yours to reshape.

01

Open a canvas

Start in the browser. Nothing to install, just an infinite canvas ready for the first flow or research note.

02

Bring in the raw material

Drop in interview notes, screenshots, links, and PDFs, and grab frames from a usability recording on YouTube or Vimeo. Everything lands on one board instead of a research folder.

03

Shape the thinking with AI

Describe the problem once and let AI lay out a starting board of a user flow, a journey map, or an affinity structure, reading your current canvas as context, then drag it into the shape you want.

04

Share and take it to Figma

Send a view-only link so product and engineering can follow the flows and reasoning without an account, then carry the approved IA and wireframe plan into your design tool.

The UX layer your design file has been missing.

Keep designing screens and prototypes in Figma. Do the flows, research synthesis, and planning here, where the thinking belongs.

AI laying out a design planner and user flow on the canvas

AI lays out the thinking

Describe the problem, get a starting board

Tell the AI chat what you are working on and it lays out a full board: a first-pass user flow, a journey map, or an affinity structure for your notes. It reads your current canvas as context, so it builds on the research you already placed instead of a generic template.

Research beside the decisions

Synthesis and personas next to the flows

Pull interview quotes into affinity clusters, distill them into personas, and keep them on the same board as the flows they justify. The insight that drove a decision sits next to the decision, not in a separate repo.

A free UX research board on the Storyflow canvas

Built for people with taste

Built for how UX designers actually think.

Map the flows, make sense of the research, agree the IA, and hand it off clean. All on one board.

A user flow with a journey map and friction notes on the canvas

Flows and journeys, not slides

Map how users actually move through the product

Boxes and arrows that move: Lay out screens, decision points, and edge cases as connected cards, and reroute a path by dragging it. The flow keeps pace with your understanding instead of a redraw in a diagram tool.

Journey map underneath: Line up stages, actions, thoughts, and pain points beneath the flow, so the emotional lows and the drop-off points sit right where the user hits them.

Annotate the friction: Drop a note under any step explaining the problem or the hypothesis, so the flow reads as reasoning a stakeholder can follow, not just a wall of boxes.

Interview quotes clustered into affinity groups and a persona on the canvas

Research that leads somewhere

Synthesize interviews into affinity clusters and personas

Cluster the quotes: Pull interview notes and observations onto the board as cards and group them into themes by dragging. Affinity mapping without buying a wall of physical sticky notes.

Distill into personas: Turn the strongest clusters into a customer persona on the same canvas, so the archetype is built from real quotes rather than invented from scratch.

AI helps make sense: Ask the AI to propose theme groupings or a first-pass persona from the notes you placed. It reads your current board as context, so the synthesis reflects your research, not a template.

An information architecture and wireframe plan on the same canvas as the research

Structure before screens

Plan information architecture and wireframe layout

Site maps and IA: Sketch the sitemap, navigation, and content hierarchy as cards on the canvas, so the structure is agreed before anyone opens the design file to draw a screen.

Rough out wireframe blocks: Block out the sections and layout of a page at low fidelity as cards, enough to argue about structure and priority before committing pixels in Figma.

Reference the real thing: Pin screenshots of competitor patterns and pull frames from a usability recording on YouTube or Vimeo, so decisions are grounded in what you actually saw.

A design planner board shared view-only for team review

Handoff, not a black box

Share the thinking and take it to Figma

View-only for stakeholders: Send a view-only link so a PM or engineer walks the flows, IA, and research in the browser with no account, then signs in to leave feedback you can act on before you design a single screen.

Invite the team free: Bring a researcher, PM, or content designer onto the same board free, so the direction is a shared decision instead of a forwarded slide deck.

Export for the deck: Export the flow, journey map, or IA as a clean image or PDF for a kickoff deck, then take the approved decisions into Figma to design and prototype.

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.

UX designer questions, answered.

Everything UX and product designers ask about working in Storyflow.

No, and it is not trying to be. Figma owns the interface file, the components, and the clickable hi-fi prototype, and you keep using it to design and ship screens. Storyflow is the thinking layer that feeds that file: user flows, journey maps, research synthesis, information architecture, and wireframe planning on an infinite canvas. You do the thinking here, then take the decisions into Figma.

Storyflow is the workspace for the work that feeds the design file: user flows, journey maps, research synthesis, information architecture and wireframe planning share one infinite canvas. Describe the problem and the AI lays out a starting board, and stakeholders open it from a view-only link with no account. Storyflow is not a hi-fi prototyping tool, so you take the decisions into Figma for the screens.

Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only right now, with Plus at $7.99 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly). A Free plan is planned before the end of 2026 and will include unlimited flow, journey, and research boards, basic AI usage, 20 file uploads, and view-only sharing, with no object cap and no time limit. Anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free today.

Both. You can start from a blank canvas and lay out flows, journey maps, and affinity clusters entirely by hand, dragging and grouping cards yourself. The AI is there when you want it, to lay out a starting flow or a first-pass synthesis from a prompt, but the board is always yours to reshape.

FigJam and Miro are strong, general whiteboards, and plenty of UX teams use them for flows and workshops. Storyflow adds an AI that lays out a full flow, journey map, or affinity structure from your current board as context, a truly infinite canvas with no object cap, and the ability to turn the board into a plan on the same surface. It is opinionated toward product thinking rather than a blank canvas.

Yes. Pull interview notes and observations onto the board as cards, group them into themes by dragging, and distill the clusters into a persona on the same canvas. Attach the source PDFs and screenshots beside the clusters, so the synthesis stays connected to the evidence instead of living in a separate repo.

Yes. Share a view-only link and a PM, engineer, or client can walk the flows, IA, and research in their browser with no account and no login. You can also invite collaborators free to build the board with you, and export it as an image or PDF for a kickoff deck.

Yes. The AI reads your active board, so the notes, quotes, and cards already on the canvas shape what it suggests. You can also attach up to five documents and three boards, such as a research report or a PRD, for it to work from.

Yes. Once the direction is agreed, turn the board into a project plan, a content calendar, or a task board on the same canvas, with the AI carrying your ideas across. The flows and research become the start of the build instead of a screenshot you file away.
