Whiteboard widget for Windows

A full Excalidraw canvas in a tile. Boxes, ellipses, arrows, freehand lines and text, with the familiar hand-drawn look, pan and zoom. Everything you draw is saved as you go, so it is there when you come back. Resize the tile to give it more room, switch it to light or dark to match your theme, turn on a grid for neater layouts, or use zen mode to hide the toolbar and keep only the drawing.
