Sketch ideas, draw diagrams, plan visually. Every drawing lives as a plain file in your vault, alongside your notes.
Powerful drawing built into your knowledge workflow.
Hand-drawn aesthetic, multi-cursor support, and the full Excalidraw toolkit — embedded directly into TapoWise.
Each drawing is a plain .excalidraw file in vault/canvas/. Group canvases into folders, sync them with anything that handles files.
Drop images straight into a canvas — they're stored alongside the scene as plain media references.
Canvas follows your TapoWise theme automatically. Drawings stay readable on either side.
Three steps from blank to brilliant.
From the sidebar, create a new canvas group — or open the default Tapocanvas group.
A new .excalidraw file appears in the group folder. Name it whatever you want.
Sketch, diagram, doodle. Changes auto-save back to disk every 1.5 seconds.

Big ideas need a big surface. Canvas gives you space — without losing the safety of plain files.
