SketchMind is live: describe an idea, get an editable board, present it and turn it into a document. What it does, what it costs, and what changed since.

  • SketchMind is an AI whiteboard that launched in August 2026 at app.sketchmind.app and is free to start without a credit card.
  • You describe an idea, optionally with a PDF as context, and get an editable board: Frames, a designed Presentation, a Flow or a Checklist.
  • You can present straight from the board and turn it into a document you download as PDF (Pro and up).
  • Free includes 5 boards, 2 editors per board, unlimited viewers and one-time AI credits; Pro is $19 a month and Pro Creator $49 a month.
  • Since launch, the AI dialog became Create with AI, Plans moved to its own tool, and a Team plan was added.

SketchMind is live. After months of building, anyone can sign up at app.sketchmind.app and turn a described idea into a structured, editable board, with the first frames appearing while the AI is still working.

Short answer: SketchMind is an AI whiteboard that turns a written description into an editable board you can present and turn into a document. It launched in August 2026, is free to start without a credit card, and has paid plans from $19 a month. This post is the launch announcement; what has changed since is listed at the end.

Why we built SketchMind

Whiteboard tools are powerful and almost universally underused, because they all start the same way: with an empty page. The people who get value out of them are the people who already know how to structure their thinking spatially. Everyone else stares at the blank canvas, drags out three boxes, and gives up.

We flipped the order. You describe what you're working on; SketchMind, an AI whiteboard, draws the first version. You spend your time reacting, rearranging and improving, which is the part people are actually good at.

What can you do with SketchMind?

Four things, end to end.

  1. Create: describe an idea, optionally with a PDF as context, and get a structured board. Today the options are Frames, a designed Presentation, a Flow or a Checklist.
  2. Edit: everything the AI makes is a normal element you can move, rewrite and restyle, and the AI can rewrite a single frame on request.
  3. Present: walk through your board frame by frame, straight from the canvas, with no export needed.
  4. Finish: write a clean, sendable document from your board and download it as a PDF.

One board, from first description to something you can send.

Around your boards sits a workspace: your boards and folders, the documents you made from them on the Documents page, plus Agenda, Goals, a Focus timer and Plans for the working day. It works on desktop and has dedicated layouts for your phone.

What does SketchMind cost?

SketchMind is free to try, without a card. The Free plan gives you five boards with up to two editors on a board, unlimited viewers, and one-time trial credits for the AI: five AI boards, five frame rewrites and ten handwriting conversions. Editing and presenting your board are not metered.

What's changed since launch

  • The AI dialog is now called Create with AI. It offers four outputs: Frames (4–8 editable frames), Presentation, Flow and Checklist. Read how Create with AI works.
  • Presentation now means a designed deck: 6–8 slides with speaker notes, played in a deck player with chapters, rehearse mode and auto-play. It is part of Pro (3 per month) and up.
  • Plan is no longer a board type. Plans is its own tool: start from a board and SketchMind drafts the steps, which you can move to your Agenda or a Focus session.
  • Documents can be refined after they are written: rewrite a single chapter from the board, or answer fact questions that are written back to the board.
  • There is a Team plan at $39 per seat per month (minimum 3 seats, $36 from 10 seats), with shared team folders and an admin console.
