A drawing board that opens instantly

Think with a pen, in a browser tab

Sketchloom is for the drawing you do before the real work starts. Block out a layout, scribble the flow, circle the bit that bothers you, then put it somewhere other people can see it.

  • No account, no download
  • Works with a mouse, a trackpad or a finger
  • Your board stays in this browser

Four minutes, one pen, zero meetings

The toolkit

Eight tools. That is the whole thing.

There are no layers, no components, no auto-layout and no snapping. Everything sits one click away, because a rough drawing should not need a tutorial.

  • Select

    V

    Click a shape to move it, press Backspace to remove it.

  • Pen

    P

    Draw freehand. Anything goes.

  • Line

    L

    Drag for a straight line.

  • Arrow

    A

    Drag to point one thing at another.

  • Box

    R

    Drag out a rectangle.

  • Ellipse

    O

    Drag out a circle or oval.

  • Text

    T

    Click, type, then press Enter.

  • Eraser

    E

    Drag across anything you want gone.

Keyboard, if you prefer

Single letters swap tools. Ctrl Z undoes, Ctrl Shift Z puts it back, and Backspace removes whatever is selected.

How it works

From blank page to something worth arguing about

  1. 01

    Open the board

    No sign-up, no empty-project wizard, no template picker. The page loads and the pen is already in your hand.

  2. 02

    Draw it badly

    Boxes for the things, arrows for the order, a circle around the part you are unsure about. Rough is the point. Undo is right there when you go too far.

  3. 03

    Show someone

    Download it for a document, or publish it to the wall with a line of context. Anyone who opens it can take the drawing into the studio and change it.

Ready when you are. Open the studio and put something on the page.

Questions

The things people ask first

Do I need an account?

No. The studio opens straight into a blank board. You only type a name when you choose to publish something to the wall, and even that is just a label on the drawing.

Where does my drawing live while I work?

In the browser you are using. Close the tab, come back later on the same device, and the board is still there. Publishing is what makes a copy that other people can open.

Can I use this on a tablet or a phone?

Yes. The board takes finger and stylus input the same way it takes a mouse. The toolbar wraps down to a smaller layout so the drawing area keeps most of the screen.

Is this a replacement for a proper design tool?

Not remotely, and that is deliberate. There is no export to code, no component library and no pixel grid. It is for the ten minutes before any of that matters.

What happens when someone remixes my sketch?

They get a copy of it on their own board. Your original stays exactly as you published it, and their version only appears on the wall if they publish it themselves.

The blank page is the hardest part

So put one wonky box on it

Nothing to install, nothing to configure, nothing to delete afterwards. Open the board and draw the idea while you still have it.
