Adjust colors, fills and corners, and format individual words within a text block. FROM IDEA TO DIAGRAM Start with templates for mind maps, Kanban, weekly planning, retrospectives and more. Import Mermaid flowcharts and edit them as native elements. Search your board, align objects and use the minimap to navigate larger projects. MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL ON IPAD Sketch with pressure-sensitive strokes. Shape recognition helps you draw regular shapes. Convert selected handwritten strokes into text using recognition that runs on your device. PRESENT AND SHARE Organize your board into frames and show them in presentation mode. Export a board, a selection or individual frames as PNG, SVG or PDF. Excalidraw files and HTML export are also supported. YOUR FILES, YOUR WORKSPACE Save boards as .draw files locally or in iCloud Drive. Files saved in iCloud Drive are available across your devices.
