Stars Map
A downloadable visual workspace for Windows
Stars Map is a creative desktop app for building your own interactive universe of ideas, projects, memories, tasks, files, links, secrets, and collections.
Instead of keeping everything in plain lists or folders, Stars Map lets you place information as stars on a large visual map. Each star can represent something different: a project, a photo album, a task list, a secret note, a link button, a character, an event, a goal, an idea, a timer, a file archive, or a personal diary entry.
You can connect stars together, organize them into galaxies, switch visual styles, add photos and files, track progress, protect private stars with passwords, and create your own board exactly the way you want.
The app is designed for people who like visual organization, creative planning, worldbuilding, project tracking, mood boards, investigation boards, personal archives, game ideas, writing notes, and chaotic but beautiful idea maps.
