Sketch, diagram, and whiteboard directly inside your notes with tldraw, an infinite canvas that lives in the note itself. Nothing leaves your account: the drawing is stored with the note, not on a third-party server.

Two ways to draw

1. Inline in a note (permanent). Type the evaluation brackets {tldraw} in a note to drop a canvas in at the cursor. Whatever you draw is saved back into the note, so it is waiting for you the next time you open the note, on any device.
2. Quick Open (scratch pad). Press Cmd-O (Ctrl-O on Windows & Linux) to bring up Quick Open, type "tldraw," and pick the plugin action to open a canvas in the Peek Viewer. A Peek Viewer drawing survives minimizing the window, but is discarded when you close it — handy for a quick sketch you do not intend to keep.

What you can put on the canvas

1. Freehand drawing, with pressure sensitivity for stylus users, plus a highlighter and an eraser.
2. Shapes, lines, and arrows that snap to each other and stay attached when you move things around.
3. Text and sticky notes, for labeling a diagram or laying out ideas.
4. Images, pasted or dragged straight onto the canvas.
5. Frames and multiple pages, to keep a sprawling drawing organized.
6. Styling — color, fill, dash style, size, and font — from the style panel beside the toolbar.

The usual tldraw shortcuts apply: V to select, D to draw, E to erase, T for text, N for a sticky note, and Cmd-Z to undo. The canvas is infinite — scroll or pinch to pan, and hold Cmd while scrolling to zoom.

Saving: edits save automatically about a second after you stop drawing. A small "saving…" indicator sits at the bottom of the canvas while a save is in flight; let it disappear before navigating away from a big change.

Limitations: the drawing is stored as data alongside the embed rather than as a picture, which means a very large or very detailed drawing can run into size limits, and the canvas will not render in a published (public) note. In either case, use tldraw's menu in the top-left corner → Export as → PNG or SVG to place a flat image in the note instead.
