RetroDraw: Real-time Collaborative Drawing & Brainstorming
RetroDraw is a high-performance, real-time collaborative whiteboard designed for agile teams, designers, and anyone looking for a fast and secure way to brainstorm ideas visually. With an infinite canvas, you can sketch, diagram, and collaborate without borders.
Collaborate in Real-time
Built for teams of up to 20 people, RetroDraw offers zero-latency drawing, shape creation, and live cursor tracking. Every stroke and shape is synchronized instantly across all connected participants, making remote collaboration feel as natural as being in the same room.
Secure & Private by Design
Your privacy is our priority. RetroDraw uses in-memory storage via Redis for extreme speed and ensures that all board data is encrypted at rest. There is no account required, ensuring a completely anonymous and private experience for your sensitive brainstorming sessions.

Why use a Redis-backed Whiteboard?
Unlike traditional whiteboards that rely on slower database technologies, RetroDraw is built on Redis. This means every action is processed in-memory, resulting in unmatched performance. Combined with our encrypted storage model, we provide a playground for creativity that is both fast and secure.
