Here’s a quick breakdown of Cosmos’ core features and how they work together to help you stay inspired and organized:

  • Elements: These are the individual pieces of content that inspire you, such as images, links, videos, and articles.

  • Clusters: These are personalized collections where you can organize and categorize your saved elements.

  • The Combination: The mix of elements and clusters allows for both structured organization and the flexibility to add new inspirations as they come.
