Drawing and Annotation
Use pen, shapes, arrows, text, sticky notes, selection tools, image crop, and object styling for live visual thinking.
Static-first whiteboard for learning, planning, and visual work
Interactive whiteboarding without putting admin controls in front of students.
DrawSplat is a self-contained interactive whiteboard for K-16 educators and students. It runs in the browser, supports classroom and productivity workflows, and can optionally save boards, templates, collaboration rooms, and turn-ins to Google Drive and Google Sheets.

Rich Content
Add images, audio notes, emojis, GIFs, mosaics, collages, word clouds, and Mermaid diagrams.
Flexible Persistence
Autosave locally, use Google Apps Script with Drive and Sheets, or prepare for a MySQL or standalone storage backend.
Session Cleanup

Choose Your Path
One front door, separate workspaces
Students get the whiteboard. Teachers and facilitators get setup, share links, and storage controls.
Students and collaborators
Open Whiteboard
Draw, add content, interact with panels, and work in the room or assignment configured by the teacher.
Teachers and facilitators Open Teacher AdminConfigure Google, choose storage behavior, test the backend, create share links, and keep settings off the student screen.
Single users and small teams Use Productivity ModeWork without classroom-specific controls for planning, diagrams, notes, facilitation, and shared visual work.
Storage Choices
Pick the level of persistence you need
Google Apps Script + Drive
Saves boards, rooms, templates, and turn-ins through Google Drive and Sheets. This is the current cloud-backed classroom path.
Browser-Only Timed Session
Keeps autosave in the browser and expires it after the selected time. It works now, but it is local to each browser profile.
MySQL Backend
Planned self-hosted option for schools that want SQL-backed rooms, users, submissions, and session expiration while keeping Google Apps available.
Standalone Folder Storage
Requires a small backend API because static pages cannot write files into a server folder. The admin UI is ready for that future endpoint.
