About This Software

KimuNote is an infinite canvas for planning your game.

Put your design doc, level layouts, concept art, tasks, references and music on one board, and see the whole project at once. Made by an indie game studio for developers who are tired of jumping between ten different apps.

Tools made for the way games are actually designed:

• 2D Level Design: paint tile maps on 3 layers, place spawns, enemies and checkpoints, and draw notes right over the layout.

• Greybox: block out 3D spaces with cubes, cylinders, pyramids and custom shapes before you open your engine.

• Color Palette: build harmonies, check contrast and color-blind previews, and export to HEX, CSS, Tailwind or JSON.

• Your GDD, alive: pitch, characters, castles, sprints and soundtrack side by side, linked with arrows.

Paste screenshots with Ctrl+V, drop in concept art, and import video, audio, PDFs and 3D models. Group them, connect ideas with arrows and frame whole areas. Groups rearrange themselves while you drag.

To-do lists with tags and progress bars, kanban columns, calendars, spreadsheets with formulas, charts and focus timers, right next to the work they are about.

One board per project, per level, per character. Double-click to dive in, use the breadcrumbs to come back, and open the minimap so you never get lost. Tabs keep your favorite boards one click away.

Write scripts and lore in the book editor, storyboard your cutscenes, map character relationships, and sketch on any board with the drawing tools.

11 interface styles, from Standard to Neon, Pixel art, Retro terminal, Frosted glass and Hand-drawn. Each one has light and dark modes, and you can also set your own colors and fonts.

• Real-time co-editing: host a board and build it live with your team. Each participant needs their own copy of KimuNote.

• Steam Cloud: your boards, images and media follow you to every PC.

• Steam Workshop: publish templates or import boards made by the community.

• Offline first: your projects are always saved on your own computer.

Students, artists, writers and anyone with a busy week use KimuNote too: study plans, habit trackers, budgets, journals and mood boards.

• Built-in web browser, calculator, clocks, timers and stopwatch

• Image cropping, PDF viewer and 3D model viewer

• Export boards as images or files
