Whiteboarding & brainstorming

A whiteboard that lives with your projects

Real-time multiplayer with live cursors — sticky notes, shapes, connectors and freehand on an infinite canvas. Then drop your actual tasks onto it as live cards, because the board and the tracker are the same app. $7.99/user/mo instead of $20 for a standalone board.

Every canvas feature free on every tier • Part of your whole platform

An infinite canvas, built into your platform

Miro and FigJam are excellent standalone whiteboards. Ours isn't standalone — it's part of the same app as your tasks, time, and invoices. That's what lets a real task sit on the canvas as a card.

Your real tasks, as cards

Search your tasks and drop any of them onto the canvas. The card shows live status, priority, due date, assignees and progress — and reopening the board refreshes every one. No connector to configure, because it's the same database.

Real-time multiplayer

Live cursors with names, presence avatars, instant sync, and editing indicators — teammates see every change as it happens.

Infinite canvas

Sticky notes, shapes (rectangle, ellipse, triangle, diamond), freehand pen, and images.

Smart connectors

Arrow and line connectors with straight, curved, or orthogonal routing, labels, and auto-reroute.

Structure your ideas

Titled sections, grouping, z-order, rotation, and lock to keep a busy board organized.

Project-scoped boards

A board lives inside its project, next to that project's tasks, documents, and files.

Org or project boards

Create as many boards as your plan's capacity allows — no per-board fees.

One platform, one bill

The whiteboard is part of Log My Business — not a separate $20 subscription to manage.

Being straight with you

Our whiteboard is real-time multiplayer — live cursors, presence, and instant co-editing, included on every tier. What the specialists still do better is workshop facilitation: voting, timers, private mode, and giant template galleries. Where we win is different: the board isn't a $20 island. It's part of the same platform as your tasks, time, mileage, and invoices.

Where they genuinely beat us

This is the segment where the specialists are strongest. Here's the honest picture.

Workshop-scale maturity

All four specialists have run 50-person live workshops for years. Our multiplayer is new and built for project teams collaborating on their own boards — not yet for facilitating giant remote sessions.

Template & framework libraries

Miro, Mural (with licensed LUMA frameworks), and Lucidspark ship hundreds of professional templates. We include 23 solid layouts — kanban, retros, SWOT, lean canvas, roadmaps, calendars and more — not a giant gallery.

Advanced facilitation

We cover the essentials — comments, dot-voting, and a shared timer. Mural's private mode and summon, Miro's estimation apps, and FigJam's cursor chat and music go further for big facilitated workshops.

Editing tasks on the canvas

Our task cards are a live read-only view: they refresh from the task, and double-clicking one opens it. Miro's two-way Jira sync lets you edit the ticket from the board itself. If that round-trip matters more than avoiding the integration, Miro does it better.

Canvas AI & diagramming rigor

Miro AI, FigJam AI, and Lucid's Lucidchart pairing (4,700+ shapes, data-linked diagrams) go well beyond our core shape set.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Miro or FigJam?

Yes. Log My Business includes an infinite-canvas whiteboard — sticky notes, shapes, connectors, and freehand — on every tier including Free, as part of the wider platform rather than a separate $20-per-month subscription.

Does it support real-time collaboration like Miro?

Yes. Whiteboards are real-time multiplayer: everyone on a board sees live cursors with names, watches items move as teammates drag them, and gets every edit instantly — with presence avatars showing who's on the board and colored indicators on items being edited. It's included on every tier, not gated behind a paid plan.

Can I put my actual tasks on the whiteboard?

Yes — and this is the part standalone whiteboards can't do. Click + Task, search your tasks, and drop any of them onto the canvas as a card showing live status, priority, due date, tags, assignees and progress. Because the board and the task tracker are the same application, there is no integration to authorise and no sync to break: reopen the board and every card is current. Double-click a card to open the task; deleting a card never touches the task itself.

Where does the built-in whiteboard win, then?

In being connected. Boards are scoped to a project and live alongside that project's tasks, time, and invoices — close enough that a task can sit on the canvas as a live card. Everywhere else that costs an integration; here it's a search box. And you don't pay a separate per-seat whiteboard bill on top of your other tools.
