tldraw alternative

A fast canvas that builds the product, not just the sketch.

tldraw made the browser canvas feel effortless, and Make Real showed a sketch can become code. Builderii is built for the whole product loop on that kind of canvas: describe it, get linked screens and the flow behind them, press Play, test it with people, and turn a screen into code.

Phone screens for a dog-walking app that Builderii’s AI built from one prompt.

In short

Builderii is a tldraw alternative for product teams. Like tldraw it’s a fast, friendly infinite canvas, and like tldraw’s Make Real it turns a screen into working HTML (plus a React and Tailwind component). It adds structured flowcharts and mind maps, a wireframe kit, clickable prototypes with user tests, and an AI that draws and edits nine kinds of diagram. tldraw is the better pick if you want its SDK to build a canvas into your own product.

Questions

Good questions.

Does Builderii have something like tldraw’s Make Real?

Yes. Make it real turns any screen into a live HTML preview and a React and Tailwind component you can copy, placed next to the screen on the board.

Is there an SDK to embed Builderii’s canvas?

No SDK, but you can embed a live board on any website with an iframe, optionally starting in the prototype. To build a canvas into your own app, tldraw’s SDK is the tool.

Is Builderii free?

Yes. Builderii is free while it’s new, with every feature on and 200 AI jobs a month per person. Viewers and commenters will always be free, and paid plans will publish their AI allowances.

Can my team work on a board together?

Yes. Everyone on a board sees live cursors and edits as they happen, can follow someone’s view, chat at their cursor and leave comments with @mentions that send a notification and an email. Invite people as editors, commenters or viewers, or share a link.

What do you want to build?

Start with a prompt, a template or a blank board. It’s free.
