v2.0 — now with AI co-pilot

A workspace for the mind of a founder.

Empty the mental tabs. Drop everything onto an infinite canvas — goals, decisions, half-formed thoughts — then group, connect, and plan until the noise becomes a path.

Why Playbook

Built for the way founders actually think.

Not a to-do app. Not another note tool. A canvas you bend around your own brain.

Clear the mental noise

Dump everything — projects, fears, ideas, deadlines — onto an infinite canvas. Stop holding it in your head.

Plan goals that move

Headings for direction, sticky notes for atoms of action, paper notes for the long thinking. Connect them with arrows.

One project per chapter of life

Keep your company, your launch, your life plan, and your weekend ideas in separate boards. Switch with a click.

Connect the dots

Pull lines and arrows between any two things. Make hidden dependencies visible — the "if I do this, then that breaks" graph.

Build with AI as a co-pilot

Describe a plan to ChatGPT or Claude — paste the JSON back, the board lays itself out. Or copy your board and ask for edits.

Stays out of your way

No accounts, no syncing prompts, no notifications. Open the tab, work, close it. Your mind, your machine.

How it works

Three minutes to clarity.

01

Make a board for what's loud right now.

One per topic — your company, your launch, your year, your move. Boards keep the thinking separate so it doesn't bleed.

0:42 — Creating boards
02

Pour your head onto it.

Right-click anywhere to drop a sticky, a heading, or a long-form paper note. Don't edit yet — just empty.

1:15 — Dumping the brain
03

Group, connect, decide.

Cluster what belongs together. Draw arrows between cause and effect. Pin the next move. Close the tab — it's safe.

1:48 — Making the path
Who it's for

If your brain doesn't fit in a list.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

No. Playbook saves locally to your browser. Open the tab, work, close it. Your boards are yours — they never touch a server.
One payment, every future feature, forever. No renewals, no surprise migration to a subscription. We mean it — that's why the slots are limited.
Notion is a list tool. Miro is a meeting tool. Playbook is a thinking tool — designed for one person dumping a brain on a canvas, not a team collaborating.
Yes. One click exports to JSON, Markdown, or PNG. You can also paste boards into ChatGPT or Claude and ask them to edit, then paste back.
Optional. By default, boards live on your device. Turn on encrypted sync if you want them on your phone too. Off by default, always.
Lifetime goes back to $29. Existing lifetime owners keep everything forever — including features released years from now.

Stop carrying it. Start mapping it.

Open a fresh board, drop in the first thing on your mind, and watch the rest follow.
