What it does for you

An infinite canvas where your team brainstorms visually: sketch product ideas, map out process workflows, diagram system architectures, or prioritize sprint backlogs. Every participant sees changes in real time, and the finished whiteboard saves directly as an encrypted file inside company cloud storage on a server in Egypt.

It is a module of Asas by FoundationCX, working seamlessly alongside company file storage.

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Miro?

Yes, for team visual sketching: an infinite canvas with geometric shapes, connectors, text, and freehand drawing where teams collaborate simultaneously. The difference is that whiteboards are stored as private files on your server in Egypt.

Can we draw together during video meetings?

Yes, open the whiteboard alongside video meetings to sketch collaboratively in real time.

Can external clients view the whiteboard?

Yes, via a public sharing link generated from file storage, configured with view-only or edit permissions.

Our limits

  • It is a conceptual brainstorming canvas, not a high-fidelity UI design prototyping tool; for UI prototyping, see interface design.
  • The software is from its developer (Nextcloud); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
