Whimsical

Whimsical is a visual workspace for product teams to design, document, and collaborate on an infinite canvas. It combines boards, diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, and wireframes in one tool, with real-time multiplayer editing, comments, version history, and templates from product experts.

Whimsical AI adds text-to-diagram generation: prompt a flowchart, mind map, or wireframe and get editable output in seconds. The platform targets product builders who need to capture ideas quickly, shape UI before development, and share implementation docs with engineering. Features include drag-and-drop wireframe components, Loom and YouTube embeds, Slack and GitHub integrations, and desktop apps for macOS and Windows.

Pricing starts free with unlimited workspace members and viewers, scaling to Pro and Business tiers with unlimited boards, SSO, and enterprise security controls. Whimsical is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and supports GDPR and CCPA requirements.
