Curator is an app that lets you keep all your ideas in a visual grid.

People have different ways of keeping together snippets of ideas before their project is completed. Some of them need to write down all their ideas and thoughts in a brainstorm – like format, and some need a place to just keep random thoughts that later combine to complete a project. There are people who need something more visual to help them plan, create, and develop thoughts and ideas.

Curator is an app created for such people. The app lets you keep all your ideas in a visual grid, along with pictures, text, and web links as well. This way, you can track your ideas to their original sources, and never forget what you were thinking about. It also helps you get back into your chain of thought right where you left it. The app is very simple and clean, waiting for you to clutter it up with your ideas. You can start each new project on a blank board that comes with 25 interactive rectangles. These are called “thought spots”. You can fill each of these spots with links to web pages, images, or text. You can also link your Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, Dropbox, and Google Drive accounts and have complete access to images and ideas that you have saved in other places.

You can see your work taking shape as you fill each spot. Over time, some or all of the spots will be filled with the information you have entered for you to interact with.

Each thought spot has an additional feature that will enhance your labelling and note – taking options and you can email or share images through AirDrop. Various actions can be performed – like reading various web pages, without leaving the app.

The app is quite wonderful, but it has some features lacking. For example, when you are in the app, you cannot bulk export or synchronise your work. You can’t also use it in the landscape mode.

The app is free and lets you create up to five notebooks. After that, you will have pay to get more boards. Know more about the app at their site >http://curator.co
