Real-time collaborative whiteboards
This cluster comprises 22 products for real-time collaborative whiteboarding on an infinite canvas, with features like drawing tools, sticky notes, shapes, and live cursors. Dated entries before the index start appear sporadically from January 2025 to May 2026, peaking at three in January 2026, though no clear growth pattern is evident. Among traction leaders, Mesh leads with 4 stars, followed by draw-buddy (2 stars) and nexcanvas (1 star).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
