Features
Everything you need for notes and ideas
Tools for writing, drawing, and organizing – all in one place, right in your browser.
Real-time collaboration
When you share a board, other people’s cursors, drawings, and notes appear instantly. You can also follow another person’s view.
Share with a link
Choose whether people with the link can only view the board or edit it too. Guests can join without an account.
Precise tools
A pressure-sensitive pen, shapes, arrows, text, and sticky notes. Alignment guides help you place items evenly.
Layers
The layers panel shows the stacking order of all items and lets you change it by dragging or with a keyboard shortcut.
Organized boards
Folders and boards organized like files on your computer, with search and thumbnails. All changes are saved automatically.
Access control
Grant edit or view access, revoke it at any time, and block people who shouldn’t see the board.
Geometry tools
The ruler, set square, protractor, and compass work like the real thing – measure angles and draw circles and straight lines in class or tutoring sessions.
Function graphs
Type a formula like x^2 or sin(x) and the graph appears on the board. Plus a coordinate plane and a number line.
Photos and shape recognition
Paste a photo, like a textbook exercise, and write on top of it. Hold at the end of a hand-drawn circle or rectangle and it turns into a clean shape.
