Excalidraw Hosting

Open your pod URL in a browser and start drawing on the canvas. No Excalidraw account is needed for the basic editor. Use the main menu to open an existing drawing or export your work; the project overview describes the available tools.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs Excalidraw for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server.

PikaPods’ setup notes state that drawing data is saved in your browser only. Export an editable .excalidraw file to keep a separate copy or move it to another device. Clearing browser data can remove locally saved work.

This page covers the drawing editor. Excalidraw+ is a separate service, and its cloud workspace features are not included with a pod. Real-time rooms and shareable links require additional services beyond the editor. See the project’s editor and hosted-app distinction.

You can use Excalidraw instead of Miro, FigJam and Lucidchart. PikaPods runs it for you.

Miro is a hosted team workspace with accounts, saved boards and live collaboration. Excalidraw on your pod is a single-person sketching tool that saves drawings in your browser. Files you export can be reopened elsewhere. It's ideal for quick diagrams, but not as a shared team whiteboard.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.
