The Best Open Source Alternatives to Miro
Looking for a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Miro? Here are 2 apps you can run on your own infrastructure: draw.io and Excalidraw.
draw.io as a Miro alternative
draw.io is an open-source alternative to Miro built around structured diagramming, flowcharts and technical diagrams rather than freeform brainstorming.
Excalidraw as a Miro alternative
Excalidraw is a lighter open-source alternative to Miro, with a hand-drawn sketch style suited to quick brainstorms and whiteboarding sessions rather than Miro's full workshop toolkit.
