Draw it. Diagram it.
Plan it together.
letRetro Canvas is a real-time drawing board for brainstorming, diagramming, and visual planning — way beyond sprint kanban boards. Turn ideation into a drawing canvas, brainstorm, create, and present to your stakeholders.
An infinite drawing surface for ideas of any size. Zoom in for detail, zoom out for the big picture.
Every stroke, sticky note, and shape lands live. Your teammates see changes as they happen.
Canvas is included on every plan — 1 free, 10 on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise.
We are shipping fast and listening. Your feedback shapes what the canvas becomes.
An infinite board for how you think
Kanban tracks the work. Canvas holds the thinking. Start with a blank space and sketch anything — a brainstorm, a flow, a wireframe, a plan — without squeezing it into columns.
Brainstorm your ideas as a drawing canvas, connect them into diagrams, and take the outcome straight into your sprint board when it is ready.
Brainstorm on a blank page
No columns, no structure — just an open canvas for thinking out loud. Dump every idea, then shape it into something your team can build on.
Brainwriting
Capture every thought before it escapes. Sticky notes, sketches, and half-formed ideas all land on the same board — no idea left behind.
Free drawing
Sketch flows, wireframes, and rough ideas by hand. A real pen for the moments a shape is too rigid.
Everything you need to think visually
Sticky notes to use case diagrams — a full kit for turning raw ideas into something your team and stakeholders can see, understand, and act on.
Sticky notes
Drop thoughts fast, color-code them, and regroup on the fly. The raw material of every brainstorm.

Everything you want to know about letRetro Canvas, the beta, and who can use it.
What is letRetro Canvas?+
Canvas is a real-time drawing board inside letRetro for brainstorming, diagramming, and visual planning. It goes beyond sprint kanban boards — think of it as an infinite whiteboard where your team can sketch ideas, build use case diagrams, and turn rough thinking into a concrete plan.
Is Canvas just another kanban board?+
No. Kanban boards are great for tracking work in columns. Canvas is for the thinking before the tracking: ideation, diagramming, flow drawing, and stakeholder presentations. You can start on Canvas and move the outcome into a sprint board when it is ready.
How does realtime collaboration work?+
Everyone you invite sees the canvas live. Cursors, edits, sticky notes, and shapes sync in real time, so your team can draw and discuss together from anywhere.
Can I create use case diagrams for stakeholders?+
Yes. Canvas includes actors, shapes, and connectors, so you can model use cases and system interactions and present them to stakeholders directly from the board.
Which plan includes Canvas?+
Canvas is included on every plan: 1 canvas on Free, 10 on Pro, and unlimited on Enterprise. It is currently in beta, so you can start using it today.
