Excalidraw Reviews

Reviewers see Excalidraw as a fast, simple diagramming tool that stays out of the way: they repeatedly praise its clean, distraction-free interface, easy onboarding, strong shortcuts and hotkeys, and usefulness for wireframes, user flows, charts, whiteboarding, and interviews. Some also like the libraries, dark mode, cross-device use, and end-to-end encryption. The main complaints are missing basics such as tables or standard icons, and one user warns that live collaboration did not save work automatically. Makers of BUD and Leni also highlight its hand-drawn feel and flexibility for architecture ideas.
