The canvas

Fast enough to keep up with thinking.

Tools should disappear under your hands. The DesignBrain canvas is built for speed and precision: place, connect, and rearrange as fast as ideas arrive, on a board that never runs out of room.

System architecture shapes example
A DesignBrain board showing a system architecture diagram: a public API gateway, load balancer, auth service, and core app server wired to databases, a session store, a search index, and an analytics pipeline, connected by labeled arrows across grouped tiers.

  • Shapes that behave.

    Sticky notes that size themselves, sixteen geometric shapes, rich text, freehand ink with a highlighter, images, and frames with paper size presets. Snapping and alignment guides keep everything tidy without you thinking about it.

  • Connectors that stay connected.

    Straight, curved, or elbow: arrows bind to shapes and reroute themselves when things move. Label them, restyle them, bend them. Delete a shape and its arrows land gracefully instead of dangling.

  • Import your files.

    Paste Mermaid source and it becomes real, editable shapes. Live embeds drop straight onto the canvas too: YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Spotify, Figma, and Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Maps.

  • Pages, presentation, export.

    One board holds multiple pages, each with its own camera. Present straight from the canvas with a laser pointer, then export any page in whatever format it needs to leave in: PNG, SVG, PDF, Google Slides, or PowerPoint.
