CanvasFlow is a visual workspace for the projects that refuse to sit in rows. Drop 23 kinds of card anywhere, connect them, draw over them, and bring your team in live.
No credit card. 50 cards free, forever.
Every feature here exists because a board felt wrong without it — not because a competitor had it on a slide.
Pan, zoom and spread out as far as the idea goes. Boards nest inside boards, so a sprawling project collapses back into one tile when you are done with it.
Notes, images, links, tasks, code, tables, shapes, callouts, quotes, progress bars, countdowns, embeds, audio and more — every one of them editable in place.
Live cursors, presence and instant updates. Invite people as owner, editor, commenter or viewer, and the interface adapts so nobody is offered a button that does nothing.
A pressure-aware pen with colour and width control, for the arrows and circles that no card type will ever quite capture.
A command palette, a full shortcut map, multi-select, alignment, distribution, grouping, z-order and rotation — all reachable without touching a menu.
Export a board to PNG, SVG, Markdown or JSON. The JSON re-imports cleanly, so a backup is a real backup rather than a screenshot.
That is the whole creation gesture. A menu opens where you clicked, and the card lands exactly there — not in the middle of the screen.
Drag, snap to grid, group into zones, connect cards with lines. Comment zones carry their contents with them when you move them.
Send a link with the role you want them to have, or hit present and step through the board full-screen.
