Frames: Thinking Notes

Too many ideas? Unsure what to do first? Weighing a difficult choice?
Frames gives your thoughts a place to take shape. Use 67 thinking frameworks, helpful prompts, and worked examples to organize ideas and find your next step.

FIND A FRAMEWORK FOR THE MOMENT
• Understand a situation with SWOT, 3C, and empathy maps.
• Set priorities with importance/urgency and impact/effort matrices.
• Compare options with weighted comparisons and PMI.
• Explore causes with 5 Whys and logic trees.
• Reflect and improve with KPT, PDCA, and 4Ls.
• Plan goals and actions with GROW and WOOP.
From a work project to a personal decision, choose a structure that fits what you are thinking about.

START WITH A PROMPT, NOT AN EMPTY PAGE
Each framework includes an explanation, questions, and an example. Start fresh or build on a sample. Add, edit, and rearrange thoughts, then switch between the visual overview and a list to see the details. Star the ideas that matter.

TURN REFLECTION INTO ACTION
Capture key insights and your next step alongside your notes. Come back later to reflect, or duplicate a note to explore another approach.

TAKE YOUR THINKING ONTO PAPER
Export your note and summary as a single-page A4 PDF to print or share. Create a blank worksheet for thinking by hand, or share your notes as text. Dense notes use smaller text to fit the page.

YOUR PACE, YOUR DEVICE
No account is required. Notes stay on your device, and the core features work offline. Device-to-device synchronization is not included. Opening reference links and using sharing destinations may require an internet connection.

Available in 12 languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese, Turkish, French, Tamil, Arabic, and German.

Choose one question on your mind, open a framework, and start putting your thoughts into perspective.
