Milanote
Milanote is a visual note-taking and project planning app for organizing ideas, research, and creative work on flexible boards.
What is Milanote?
Milanote is a productivity app built for visual note-taking, project planning, and organizing creative work. It helps individuals and teams collect notes, images, links, files, and tasks on flexible boards that can be arranged to match a project’s structure. The Mac desktop app gives users a dedicated workspace for planning design projects, mood boards, storyboards, marketing work, writing, and research without relying only on a browser tab. Milanote also supports collaboration, so people can share boards, gather feedback, and work together across devices. Its desktop and mobile ecosystem is designed for capturing ideas quickly and continuing work later on a larger screen. Milanote is published by Milanote Pty Ltd.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Milanote is a legitimate desktop app for a cloud-based workspace and its network access is consistent with syncing boards and collaboration features. Expect it to store account data, project content, and cached assets locally, and to connect to Milanote services while you use it. If you handle sensitive client work, review what is stored in your boards and make sure the app is signed as Milanote before granting broad file access or sharing content.
Recommendation: Keep Milanote if you use it for planning, notes, mood boards, or team collaboration on your Mac. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app to free space, but doing so may leave local support files and cached data until those are cleaned up separately.
