About tldraw
tldraw is a free whiteboard that runs in the browser. You can start drawing right away, without making an account, and share a board with others for live collaboration.
What it does
tldraw gives you an infinite canvas for sketches, diagrams and rough notes. You can share a board so others can join and draw together. The site also offers an SDK for developers who want to build a similar canvas into their own product.
Key features
- Infinite canvas for sketches and diagrams
- Online collaboration on shared boards
- No signup needed to start drawing
- SDK for building canvases into other apps
Who it's for
tldraw suits anyone who needs a quick whiteboard for a meeting, a brainstorm or a teaching session. Developers and product teams can also use the SDK as a base for their own canvas features, which is useful when a standard tool does not fit the product.
Pricing and good to know
The whiteboard is described on the site as free and instant, and it works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers. Sharing a board asks you to sign in. The source code is on GitHub, but the licence is not stated in the listing, so check the repository before you reuse any code.
