Kiteloom presents
The story of an idea, told on one board.
Kiteloom is an infinite canvas on one document model. A rough sketch, a measured wireframe and a working diagram share the same file. Scroll and watch one idea grow up.
01the tour
One board, four acts
One checkout, worked out end to end, on one file. No export to a wireframe tool, no handoff doc, no second app for the diagram — rough thinking, exact spec and payment logic sit on the same canvas.
Skip the tour- act i · rough
Argue with yourself in ink
Three candidate checkouts, drawn as fast as they were said. Strike one out, circle the winner, draw the arrow that elects it — freehand ink sitting right beside the real objects it's deciding between.
- act ii · exact
Turn the winner into a spec
The elected idea becomes a 250-wide frame with a button selected at 218 by 44, radius 4, 16px gutters — measured on the same board it was sketched on. Every numeric field takes arithmetic: type 120+8, get 128.
- act iii · wired
Wire the button to its logic
A connector runs from Pay now to the flow it triggers: charge, approve, receipt, plus a dashed retry loop. Connectors bind to a shape's edge, so moving a box re-routes the arrows instead of orphaning them.
- act iv · live
Ship it with someone else, live
Your cursor holds the button. A teammate holds the retry node. Cursors, selections and edits sync in real time, and the work is kept locally too, so a dropped connection reconciles instead of losing changes.
02the cast
Three tools. One document. No conversions.
Draw freely
Freehand strokes, text, images and a shape library that runs from a rectangle to a decision node. Switch the board to hand-drawn and every object on it renders with a sketched line — it is a board setting, so a rough board stays rough for everyone on it.

- D
Build interfaces
Frames, reusable components and instances, auto layout, align and distribute, and a properties panel with exact geometry down to the corner radius.
- F
Map systems
Connectors attach to a shape's edge and re-route as it moves, so rearranging a diagram does not turn it into a pile of loose arrows.
- L
03house rules
Sharing is loud on purpose.
Real-time collaboration only works if you control who is in the room. A board has three states, and moving between them is never quiet.
- Private only people you have added
- Every board is private the moment it is created. Templates, imports and duplicates are no exception, and widening access always asks first.
- Anyone with the link whoever holds the current link
- A link can carry a password and an expiry. Editing through one requires signing in, so every change belongs to an account — and resetting the link disconnects everybody still using the old one rather than waiting for their tab to close.
- Public anyone with the address
- Public boards are read-only, with no setting that can grant editing. They are excluded from search engines unless you separately opt in, and the owner is emailed whenever access changes.
Free while it is just you. $15 a month when 3 boards stop being enough.
Every tool is on every plan. They differ on how much you store, never on what you can draw.
04questions
Before the curtain
No. Every board is the same kind of board. A freehand stroke, a component instance, and a connected flowchart node are all objects in one document, so you can put them side by side without converting or importing anything.
