Miro
Online whiteboard.
What it is
Miro brings the physical whiteboard experience into the digital world through a massive 'infinite canvas.' It enables teams to brainstorm, create mind maps, and visualize complex systems together. With sticky notes, drawing tools, and thousands of templates, it is used for everything from strategy planning to product design. Its real-time collaboration allows dozens of people from around the world to work on the same board, seeing each other's cursors as they move.
