What Scribble Together is
Scribble Together is an online whiteboard for handwriting equations, drawing diagrams, and annotating PDFs. You can import a PDF, mark it up, and export the document with your annotations. The board has an infinite canvas, and you can create unlimited whiteboards. Owners can invite guests to draw and navigate on a shared board; guests join by link or temporary four-digit code without registering or using a password. Backgrounds include graph, lined, dot-grid, and music staff paper. A Zoom app gives meeting participants access to whiteboards created in the meeting. The Free plan includes an offline personal notebook for iOS, unlimited whiteboards, and guest joining. Member costs $4.16 a month and adds web board creation, access across devices, and unlimited guests. First-time web sign-ins receive a three-day trial; memberships include 14 or 30 free days depending on billing frequency. The project began in 2017.
