●MidCozy

Local Miro alternative but Commons Clause blocks commercial use entirely.

Strengths
  • •Plaintext-first storage means boards are human-readable and versionable
  • •Modular architecture allows swapping features without core changes
Weaknesses
  • •Commons Clause prevents any commercial or team deployment scenarios
  • •No Mac binaries and Excalidraw already does local-first better

Post Description

A local whiteboard app with support for modular features. I coded it as a personal replacement for Miro but of course it's absolutely barebones compared to it, I focused on the features that I was actually using (and some unique ones).

A simple, high performance, offline whiteboard app

Low-latency, offline pen input is the product's clear selling point — it emphasizes local auto-save, left/right-hand pen support, and a Fluent-style Windows UI that actually looks native. It won't dethrone collaborative, cloud-first whiteboards for team work, but for solo tablet users who hate input lag and forced online syncs, this is a tidy, focused alternative.
