Work through difficult questions, present your thinking clearly, collaborate when it helps, and keep the next steps beside the drawing.
Open a working board without an account. Nothing to install.
Shape it
Use hand-drawn shapes for the parts that are still in flux, and real screenshots or embeds where detail matters. Start loose, then add precision as the decisions become clearer.
Connect shapes with arrows, label them, and rearrange the flow without redrawing it. The connectors move with the shapes, so trying another sequence takes seconds. Everything stays hand-drawn, which keeps an early idea from looking more settled than it is.
Paste a link to add a working video, post, prototype, or document to the canvas. It plays or scrolls in place, so people can inspect the real source without leaving the board. Keep exact material where it helps and sketch freely around it.
Together
Share a link for a live session, or leave notes and comments for people to pick up later. The board keeps the drawing, discussion, and decisions in one place.
Clients and guests can join from a live link without an account or a paid seat. They choose a display name and appear on the board with everyone else. Choose whether guests can draw or only view, and end the session to revoke the link for everyone at once.
Add questions, options, and reminders without folding them into the drawing itself. Notes come in ten colours and are signed automatically, so you can separate contributions and still know who wrote what when you return later.
Use a stamp for a quick reaction, to mark something that needs attention, or to run an informal vote. Your recent stamps sit in a wheel for quick access; the full picker has 609. Point at any stamp on the board to see who left it.
Pin a comment to the exact shape, screen, or note you want to discuss. Replies stay attached to that spot, so the conversation still makes sense without a meeting or a separate chat thread. Resolve it when the question is settled.
Finish it
Add the next steps to the board and track the work without losing the drawing that explains it. The plan stays beside the decisions it came from.
Add a checklist beside the drawing, nest related items, and move or resize the list as the board changes. Its header shows how much is complete. If the plan already lives in a ticket or notes app, paste the whole list—indentation and checked items are preserved.
A task often makes sense only in relation to the flow, screen, or decision beside it. Keeping the plan on the board means that context is still visible when somebody returns days or weeks later.
Think before you do. Then truly do.
Every board card shows the progress of its checklists. Scan a collection to see what is finished, what has not started, and which board needs attention without opening each one.
Your data
Export a board as an open .kromdraw
file that other editors can read. Export a folder or your account as a ZIP that preserves
the folder structure, rather than a pile of unrelated files.
Import works the other way around: review what Kromdraw found before anything is created. Deleted work stays in the trash until you remove it, so cleanup does not quietly become data loss.

Questions
Totally made up, but ask me questions often enough and they will show up here.
Kromdraw is narrower. It combines a whiteboard with checklists, so the plan stays beside the drawing it came from. It is made in the Netherlands and hosted in the EU.
See the detailed comparisons with Miro, FigJam, and Excalidraw+.
No. Guests join from a live link and choose a display name. You control whether they can draw, and ending the session revokes the link.
Yes. A board exports as a
.kromdraw
file that other editors can read. Your account exports as a ZIP with its folder structure
intact. The export guide lists exactly what is included.
On servers in the EU. Kromdraw is made by Ronkatil B.V., an independent Dutch company. The subprocessor list names every company that can handle your data and what it receives.
There are no AI features in Kromdraw today. I am exploring an MCP server so coding agents can read or add to boards when you choose to connect them.
On a tablet, yes. On a phone it's cramped, and I wouldn't plan a session around it.

Who made this
I’m a software developer from the Netherlands. I built Kromdraw because sketching ideas helped my teams catch mismatched assumptions before we started building. A rough flow or screen often made ten minutes of discussion more concrete.
I wanted one place for rough diagrams, source material, discussion, and the checklist that follows. Most whiteboards handled the first part well, then sent the actual work somewhere else. That became Kromdraw.
I also make Decoy and Kitaso. If you write to Kromdraw, I’m the person who replies.
