# Coppice

> Mac app for linking notes together on a spatial canvas

Coppice is a Mac app for arranging thoughts as pages on a canvas and linking them together. Each page holds rich text or an image, and following a link opens the linked page beside it, so a train of thought spreads out as a branch that can be closed and reopened later. Originally built by M Cubed Software, it has been published by High Caffeine Content on the Mac App Store since the 2026 version, as a free download with a Coppice Pro subscription.

## Key features

- **Canvases:** A canvas is a space for laying thoughts out visually and seeing how they connect. It expands in every direction as more pages are added.
- **Pages:** Each thought is a page of text or an image, at any size. A page can sit on several canvases, or fill the window when one thought needs the focus.
- **Links and branches:** Pages link to other pages, and clicking a link opens the linked page on the canvas as a branch. A closed branch is remembered with its pages and their arrangement.
- **Auto-linking:** Coppice can connect thoughts by automatically adding links between pages. Image links can use oval and polygon hotspots for more precise targets.
- **Drag and drop:** Text and images can be dragged onto a canvas from the sidebar or from other apps.
- **Folders, colors and Open Quickly:** Pages can be kept in folders and given any color to stand out on the canvas. Open Quickly finds a page by name.

- Coppice Pro is sold only as a subscription, at $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year; no one-time purchase is listed.
- The app changed hands with the 2026 version, and M Cubed Software's site has purchases of the earlier direct-download version disabled.
