Day-to-day usability
Choose a program to meet your needs.
T he programs in this Roundup have one thing in common: they all support freehand drawing. How advanced they are depends mostly on maturity, but also on the goals of the project. OpenBoard’s developers clearly aim to support the teaching community, because its features include a host of educational tools. Other programs are small and nimble – useful for taking notes and getting started on projects.
Other features you might be looking for include the LaTeX editor that’s built into Xournal++. For the more artistic, you can start with the simpler options and then export your work in your favourite format to continue in a more advanced drawing program. Make sure the whiteboard program’s export options meet your expectations if you choose to go down this route.
