Excalidraw Reviews

Reviewers see Excalidraw as a simple, fast whiteboard for diagrams, wireframes, user flows, presentations, and especially interviews. They repeatedly praise its clean, distraction-free interface, strong keyboard shortcuts, useful libraries, dark mode, and support across desktop and tablets. Some also value its end-to-end encryption, even if the app feels less polished than heavier design tools. The main complaints are gaps in built-in elements, like tables or standard system-design icons, and one notable frustration: live collaboration work was not saved automatically as expected.
