· 001 — In short

Whiteboards that live in someone else's cloud are slow to draw on and hard to keep. Aerial is the opposite: ink, diagrams and PDFs on one fast canvas that stays on your device, with live collaboration when you want it. Built for engineers, teams and classrooms.

· 002 — What it does

  1. 01

    Hardware-Accelerated Inking

    Bypasses standard DOM and browser paint bottlenecks using optimized WebGL2 canvas pipelines for butter-smooth freehand ink and vector manipulation.

  2. 02

    Zero-Latency CRDT Collaboration

    Conflict-free replicated data types allow instant real-time multi-user synchronization across classroom and enterprise networks with zero locking.

  3. 03

    Local-First & Offline Privacy

    100% private. Drawings, architectural diagrams, and handwritten notes persist directly on your device via embedded redb storage. Zero cloud telemetry.

  4. 04

    Technical Vector & Document Suite

    Freehand ink smoothing, calligraphy pens, precision highlighters, geometric snap grids, multi-page PDF import, and native Mermaid diagram parsing.

· 003 — Next step · Teams & classrooms

Put Aerial Canvas to work in your team.

Whether you are an engineering team needing fast, unconstrained system architecture sketches or a classroom that needs a zero-cloud canvas — Aerial Canvas is 100% free and open source.
