Planello Canvas
Plan it, map it, make it.
Canvas is an infinite board for your whole workspace. Put live cards, epics and documents next to notes, images and links, connect what belongs together, and create images, video and sound with AI right where you plan.
AI images, round by round
From a product photo to a homepage banner.
Connect a product photo and the card it's for to an AI Image node, describe what you want and generate. Like the result? Press Iterate: Planello adds a new node that uses it as its reference, so every round builds on the last, and the whole history stays on the canvas.

Example images: the product photo went in, and each round used the one before as its reference.
- Connect notes, documents and images, and they go into the prompt as text and references
- Every node keeps its results, so you can flip back to an earlier one and branch from it
- Results are saved in Documents, in a Canvas folder, ready to download or attach
Live from your boards
Plan around the real work, not a copy of it.
Cards, epics and lists of cards on a canvas are live. Move a card on the board and its node shows the new list, the epic's progress moves with it, and a double-click opens the card. Canvases belong to the workspace, so one canvas can bring together any of your boards.

Nodes for everything
Notes, documents, media and more. All on one canvas.
Drag nodes in from the Nodes panel, or just paste: a link becomes a link node, a file becomes media. Draw shapes and arrows, sketch with the pencil, and group what belongs together.

Images, video and sound
The models you choose, with your own key.
Pick a model in each AI node. Planello talks to the provider directly with your key, so you pay the provider's price and nothing more. Connect an image to an AI Video node and it becomes the first frame.
- OpenAI, Google, ElevenLabs and fal.ai, or your own compatible service

Works with your AI
Ask for a canvas, and get it laid out.
Planello AI can build canvases for you: it adds and connects nodes, arranges and groups them, and looks at a picture of the result to check its work. Your Claude or Codex subscription and agents connected over MCP can do the same.

Your keys, your bill
AI nodes use your own provider keys. Planello adds nothing on top, and Canvas itself is free.
Saved in Documents
Files you drop and every AI result land in Documents, in a Canvas folder, next to the rest of your work.
Undo anything
Every change can be undone, including the ones the assistant makes on an open canvas.
On your device
Canvases are saved with your workspace, on your device, like your boards and documents.
Questions
Good to know
Does it cost anything?
Canvas is part of Planello and free. Generating images, video or sound uses your own key with OpenAI, Google, ElevenLabs or fal.ai, at that provider's prices.
Does it work in the browser?
Yes. Canvas works in the browser and in the desktop app. In the browser, your AI keys are kept in the browser. Community nodes from modules need the desktop app.
Where do generated images go?
Each AI node keeps its results, and every result is also saved in Documents, in a Canvas folder, named after its prompt. You can download any of them from the node.
Can a canvas show more than one board?
Yes. Canvases belong to the workspace, so cards, epics and documents from any of its boards can sit side by side on one canvas.
Can I add my own kinds of nodes?
Yes, in the desktop app. Modules built with the Planello module SDK can add their own nodes, which then appear in the Nodes panel next to the built-in ones.
Give your plans some room.
Open Planello, start with the demo board and make your first canvas. It takes a few seconds, and it's free.
