Spoor (雪泥) — local-first canvas for thinking, writing, and creative work

Spoor is a local-first infinite canvas for thinking, writing, research, and creative work. The Chinese product name is 雪泥. Official website: https://spoor.ink.

An idea should not disappear into a chat transcript. Notes, screenshots, documents, web research, and AI replies become editable cards on one board, so a rough thought can be connected, rearranged, and rewritten until it becomes a complete piece. The user stays the author.

雪泥是什么

雪泥是本地优先的思考与创作画布：把一个想法从一点逐渐做成完整的东西。笔记、资料和 AI 回复都留在同一张可编辑的空间里。数据默认在你的设备上；私有画布 https://spoor.ink/app 不对搜索引擎开放。

What it is not

• Not a chatbot. Replies live on the canvas as material for thinking.
• Not a notes app of folders and pages, and not a generic workshop whiteboard.
• Not an auto-writer that emits a finished article in one click.
• Not the old Netlify demo host. Use https://spoor.ink as the canonical site.

Phone — open records on the go

On a phone, Spoor opens a memo list so you can open records and catch a thought before it leaves. Memos stay on the device first. Sign in to sync; on a desk, place them on the canvas. 手机上打开的是备忘记录，不是缩小版画布。

Workflow

Capture → Gather → Think → Connect → Develop → Rewrite → Create.

1. Start with a rough idea; drop notes, PDFs, images, or links onto the canvas.
2. Ask personas (Mirror of Insight, Weaver, Smoothing Iron, Star-Gazer, or your own) to look at the same material differently.
3. Keep replies as cards; connect them; grow clusters into longer drafts.

Plans

The canvas is free on your device. Hosted AI allowances and Pro (cloud backup, uncapped hosted AI, card and WeChat) are listed on https://spoor.ink/pricing — use that page for current prices.
