FreeOpen sourceSelf-hosted

What to know▼

How it works: Gives a class one shared link where notes, slides, and past papers live; anyone can add or grab files with no account needed. PDFs preview in the browser, a whole section can be downloaded as a zip before exams, and the link can be shared via QR code in a lecture hall.
What's different: Self-hostable and open source, and requires no accounts for anyone using it.
Pricing: Free.
Best for: Students who want a single shared place for class materials instead of digging through group chats before exams.

Live

An open-source infinite canvas that combines notes, diagrams and an AI agent that writes results directly onto the board — built to replace juggling Notion, Excalidraw and a chat window.

Open sourceSelf-hosted

What to know▼

How it works: An open-source, real-time collaborative canvas. Notes, hand-drawn diagrams and interactive mini-apps live as nodes on one board; an AI agent reads the board, searches the web, and writes results back as new nodes instead of a chat reply.
What's different: Replaces switching between Notion for notes, Excalidraw for diagrams and a separate AI chat window — everything, including the agent's output, lands on the same canvas.
Best for: Teams and individuals who think visually and want an AI agent's output to live alongside their own notes and diagrams, not in a separate chat log.
