What Allume's own pages show
Suits
- iPad and Mac users who mix handwriting, text and files on one canvas
- Reading and research: PDFs can be annotated and excerpted onto boards
- Solo thinkers who want their data stored locally and usable offline
- Projects that outgrow a single board and need boards inside boards
Limits worth knowing
- Allume is offered only for Mac, iPad and iPhone; the vendor lists no web, Windows or Android version.
- The Free plan has a small board size and allows 2 workspaces, 100 cards per workspace and 1 other collaborator per workspace.
- The vendor deliberately leaves out drawing brushes, complex text formatting, and endless canvas zooming or rotation.
- Through Setapp the app is limited to 5 collaborators and needs a Mac, against unlimited collaborators on the Unlimited plan.
