| Best for | Open-source sketches and early architecture ideas | Quick free whiteboards and canvas apps for developers |
| Main use | Hand-drawn sketches | Infinite canvas whiteboard |

Open-source MIT whiteboard with a hand-drawn style that suits early sketches. It has fewer templates and workshop features than Miro or FigJam. A free, sign-up-free whiteboard that runs in any browser, plus a React SDK for developers. Its code is under tldraw's own license rather than an open-source one, so it ranks below the open-source tools.
