Canvas
Show any view as a canvas: lay out live entry cards, add notes, arrows, frames and drawings, then present or export it.
Any view in Ultrathink can be shown as a canvas: a board you can pan and zoom, where each entry is a live card you place where you like. Add sticky notes, text, arrows, frames and drawings around the cards to plan a week, map a project or think something through.
AI tools connected through the MCP server can place cards, notes and arrows too. An open canvas shows their changes as they land, and what you are editing at that moment is kept.
These pages cover making a canvas from a view, the tools on the board, presenting and exporting, the canvas keyboard shortcuts, and what happened to the boards you had on the old work plan.
