InspireNote: Creative Prompts

What is InspireNote?

InspireNote: Creative Prompts is a brainstorming idea generator app for iPhone and iPad. It provides a set of 100+ creative cards to help you explore problems from different perspectives and turn those prompts into lightweight notes.

The app also lets you create your own brainstorming cards and capture ideas in a note-style workflow so you can review and refine them over time.

Key Features

• 100+ creative prompt cards: Use the built-in cards as hints to generate new ideas and look at a topic from multiple angles.
• Create your own brainstorming cards: Add custom prompts during your brainstorming process, including using cards you create yourself.
• Lightweight note capture: Record ideas in a simple note format so you can develop thoughts gradually rather than only in a single session.
• Idea Review widget (upgraded): Review ideas through an on-screen widget that has been upgraded and supports configurability.
• Project Review widget (upgraded): Review projects with an upgraded widget that supports configurability.

How to Use InspireNote

1. Open InspireNote and start a brainstorming session using the built-in creative cards.
2. Capture the ideas that come up as notes while you work through the prompts.
3. If you want more targeted guidance, create your own cards and add them to the session.
4. Use the Idea Review and Project Review widgets to revisit and refine your stored ideas and projects.

Use Cases

• Solo ideation for a problem: When you’re stuck on a topic, browse the 100+ cards to try different perspectives, then capture the best leads as notes.

• Team brainstorming preparation: Collect participants’ insights in a structured way by using the app’s review workflow to keep ideas accessible and easier to revisit.
