Drawy lets you create ideas, diagrams, and visual notes on an infinite whiteboard with a smooth and responsive canvas. You can draw with pressure-sensitive tablet support, add text, insert images, and use basic shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, arrows, and lines to organise your content clearly. You can choose your own color palette and export your work as image files whenever needed. Drawy is built to stay lightweight and fast, making it easy to capture ideas and work freely without distractions.
