Whiteboard
The Whiteboard is OpenCharts’ infinite, freeform canvas for sketching, sticky-noting, wireframing, and AI-assisted brainstorming — with hand-drawn aesthetics and a community component library.
In depth
Whiteboards complement structured flowcharts: where a flowchart is a graph, a whiteboard is a canvas. Pen, pencil, eraser, shapes, sticky notes, and text live alongside the same node-based diagrams as the editor.
AI Create, Edit, and Ask let Theo generate, modify, or query the canvas. Cross-mode conversion (structural or snapshot) turns whiteboards into flowcharts and vice versa.
Examples
- Sticky-note retro
- Hand-drawn architecture sketch
- Storyboard with a sticker palette

Whiteboard Component Library
The whiteboard component library is a community-driven catalog of reusable shapes, UI kits, icons, and stencils that you can drag onto any whiteboard.
Whiteboard AI
Whiteboard AI is the built-in assistant that can create, edit, or query whiteboard content — generate a retro template, restyle a sketch, or answer questions about what’s on the canvas.
Cross-Mode Conversion
Cross-mode conversion turns a whiteboard into a flowchart (or vice versa) — either structurally (rebuilding nodes/edges) or via a high-fidelity snapshot.
