Excalidraw Reviews

Reviewers mostly praise Excalidraw for being simple, fast, and easy to start using, with a clean, distraction-free interface that keeps attention on ideas instead of the tool. Shortcuts and hotkeys come up repeatedly as a standout advantage over alternatives, especially for interviews, wireframing, diagrams, user flows, and whiteboarding. Users also like its libraries, dark mode, cross-device use, and encryption, though some note it is not the most polished app. A few gaps surface too: missing tables, limited standard icons, and confusion around live collaboration not auto-saving.
