A 12ft x 8ft workspace. Zoom out to see the architecture of your system; dive in to write a line of code. Space is no longer a constraint.
Designed for the Deep Work session
Think in Space.
FlowShow isn't just a whiteboard—it's a spatial environment. A massive, paper-like canvas where live browser panes, editable files, and Apple Pencil sketches coexist on one plane.
Stop bouncing between apps. Aggregate your entire context in one place and move from a spark of an idea to a mapped system without losing the thread.
iPad-only. Apple Pencil-first. Local-first privacy.
Bring the web and your filesystem onto the board. Live browser panes and editable .py, .rs, and .md files mean your references are exactly where your notes are.
Your thinking is your own. Everything stays local on your device. Export a polished PNG or an editable package only when you're ready to share.
Zero Friction Research
Keep the source beside the synthesis.
Why switch tabs when you can just move the window? Place live web panes directly next to your sketches. Read the documentation, highlight the key points, and map the logic—all on one surface.
- Live browser panes for instant reference
- Edit supporting files without leaving the canvas
- Map connections between disparate sources
- A continuous surface for continuous thought
The research stays live. The thinking stays visual.
High-Bandwidth Development
Map the system while you build it.
FlowShow transforms the iPad into a spatial cockpit. Open multiple code files, a browser for API docs, and a sketch pad for logic flows. See the relationship between your files and your ideas in real-time.
- Editable .py, .rs, .js, .ts, and .md files
- Visual tracking of complex system dependencies
- Spatial organization of project assets
- Low-friction "Scratch" boards for rapid prototyping
Code is linear. Thinking is spatial. Now they match.
Pure Expression
Structure the chaos.
Use the Apple Pencil to draw the connective tissue. Shapes, arrows, and freehand ink allow you to organize complex data without forcing it into a rigid template.
- Tactile, satisfying ink for Apple Pencil
- Dynamic shapes and connectors for system mapping
- Readable overlays on top of live materials
- An open environment that evolves with your project
Open enough to imagine. Clear enough to execute.
The FlowShow Ritual.
Start with a blank board and a loose sketch. Let the first pass be messy.
Drop in the browser panes, the code files, and the images that define the problem.
Use the Pencil to draw the relationships. Zoom out to see the big picture; zoom in to refine the detail.
Keep the board alive as long as you need. Export a PNG or a project package when the thinking is done.
