Out of the box features
Deep engineering primitives built for architecture diagramming — from steganographic PNGs and private client-side encryption to multi-page vector exports.
Camera teleport bookmarks & visual fast-travel deck
Bookmark crucial canvas viewports into 9 visual slots. Open the Apple-style fast-travel deck modal or hit Alt+1..9 to glide smoothly across large architecture diagrams with cubic ease-out camera teleportation.
Inline @stencil mentions & autocomplete engine
Type '@' followed by any keyword directly inside any text box or shape (e.g. '@resend', '@postgres', '@redis') to summon a floating fuzzy-search popover. Navigate with arrow keys and hit Enter to instantly swap the query into a production architecture vector stencil.
Topological Dependency X-Ray Focus Mode
Select any service, database, or component and press 'X' to dim unrelated background elements to 14% opacity. Traces connected upstream callers and downstream dependencies with 1-Hop and Full-Chain depth expansion while dimming isolated nodes.
Editable PNG exports
Save a complete Sketch scene inside a standard PNG. Reopen it later and continue editing shapes, connectors and canvas objects.
Monospace ASCII & Unicode box art
Export whiteboard shapes, arrows, and tables into monospace-aligned Unicode or strict 7-bit ASCII box art for GitHub PRs, markdown READMEs, and codebase architecture comments.
Encrypted link sharing
Encrypt a board in the browser before upload. The decryption key stays in the URL fragment and is never sent to the server.
Drop-on-wire insertion & shake-to-detach
Drop any shape or stencil directly onto an active connector to automatically splice it in with auto-spacing. Shake a node 3 times to detach and heal the wire back into a continuous line.
Multi-page vector PDF
Export selected frames as crisp vector pages, with precise layout and print-ready A4 or Letter sizing.
Responsive text auto-wrap & handle reflow
Side handles adjust box width and dynamically reflow lines at constant font size, while corner handles scale typography. Long pasted text auto-caps into a 650px card with preserved paragraphs.
Clipboard Smart Paste for cURL & JSON
Paste terminal cURL commands to instantly synthesize visual API request flows, or JSON data to generate type-inferred relational tables. Includes an instant 1-click fallback to our 650px text card.
Interactive database schema modeling
Model database tables as first-class whiteboard entities with typed columns, key badges, and automatic type coloring.
Conflict-free smart canvas ingestion
Drop or paste templates without overwriting your active workspace. Detects the canvas perimeter and appends new content safely below (currentMaxY + 80px).
Portable .sketch files, without lock-in
Your whiteboard data stays in a clean, version-controlled JSON (.sketch). It's sanitized with DOMPurify and a strict schema to prevent XSS and keep files safe and portable.
