About Limnu
Limnu is an online whiteboard designed to feel like drawing with markers on a real whiteboard. Its pen strokes and colours look natural with a mouse, trackpad or stylus, and boards can be shared with anyone by link for real-time sketching, which makes it popular with engineers, teachers and remote teams who think by drawing. It supports images, PDFs and sticky notes, team boards and admin controls, and has built-in video conference calling so you can talk while you draw, along with Slack integration. New accounts get a two-week trial of the paid features and then drop to a free plan; Pro is a low-cost plan for individuals working with many clients, and Team is priced per team member with shared boards and admin controls. It runs in the browser on desktops and tablets, and drawing on an iPad with a stylus works well. Limnu has no templates or structured workshop features and has changed little in recent years, but for natural sketching it remains pleasant.
Best for: Remote teams and teachers who want a natural marker-board feel for sketching.
