Affinity.studio
What it does
A focused workspace for turning messy research, ideas, and feedback into structured insight. Think affinity mapping without the workshop theater: drag notes, cluster them, tag patterns, collapse themes, and export the takeaways to wherever work actually happens.
Why it matters
Most teams drown in docs and screenshots of whiteboards. This keeps synthesis visible and fast. Less formatting, more decisions. It favors clarity over chrome, so you’re spending brainpower on patterns, not pixel pushing.
Who it’s for
UX researchers, product managers, and facilitators who live in sticky notes. If you run interviews, brainstorms, or retros, this helps you move from noise to signal without a ritual sacrifice to slide decks.
Where it fits
Use it right after gathering input—interviews, audits, feedback dumps—then ship clean summaries to your wiki, tickets, or roadmap. It’s not trying to be a design suite. It’s a sharp tool for one job, and it does that job cleanly.
