The best online whiteboard for remote teams

Collaborate Across Time Zones

Remote teams rarely have everyone online at the same time, and Jotboard handles that naturally. A board is persistent — someone in London can add sticky notes in the morning, and a colleague in San Francisco can review and build on those ideas later in the day. When team members are online together, changes appear in real time, making it easy to co-create during a video call. Share a board link and anyone can join instantly without needing to create an account, which removes friction when working with contractors, freelancers, or cross-functional partners.

Run Structured Remote Workshops

The slide-based interface gives remote workshops the structure they need to stay productive. Set up a series of slides before the session: one for introductions, one for each activity, and a final slide for wrap-up and next steps. Participants can use sticky notes to contribute ideas, the pen tools to sketch concepts, and text boxes to add detailed notes. Because each slide is a bounded space, the workshop stays organized and participants can follow along without getting lost on a sprawling canvas.

Keep Your Team Aligned Between Meetings

Jotboard boards are not just for live sessions. Use a shared board as a living document that your team updates throughout the week. Create a board for your current sprint with one slide per workstream, or maintain a roadmap board where priorities are tracked with sticky notes that can be rearranged as plans evolve. Import existing documents as PDFs to annotate together, or export the board as a PDF to share progress with stakeholders who prefer static reports. The free plan supports up to five collaborators per board, and the paid plan at four dollars a month lifts that limit for larger teams.
