About Concepts
Concepts is a sketching and note-taking app built around an infinite canvas. It is used for notes, mind maps, mood boards, plans, designs, and illustrations. Strokes are editable vectors, so elements can be adjusted, copied, or reshaped without redrawing. Files can be imported and marked up, then exported to several formats.
The homepage says pricing varies by region and that current prices are listed through the app stores. A free Basic tier is described, along with a Pro subscription, one-time purchases, team licensing, and free licenses for qualifying educational institutions. Some features are iOS only, and cross-platform parity across iOS, Windows, Android, and ChromeOS is described as still in progress.
