Countingup

Open a blank canvas and drop your first card—title a goal, jot a question, paste a link. In Countingup, ideas grow as you connect cards, draw relationships, and cluster themes. Use quick-add and keyboard shortcuts to capture thoughts as fast as they come, then tag, color, and group them to reveal structure. When you’re ready to share, send a view or edit link with the right permissions. Need a record of where the plan started? Roll back with version history or branch a copy. You can present directly from the canvas, or export to PNG, PDF, SVG, or CSV for decks, docs, or spreadsheets. The complimentary plan lets you work with up to 250 cards, so you can start mapping without friction.

Run live sessions without juggling tools. Invite teammates to the same board and watch their cursors move in real time. Open a template—strategy map, service blueprint, ER diagram, user journey, sitemap, or flowchart—and begin. Use comments and mentions to discuss specifics, turn a sticky into an action item, and dot-vote to set priorities. Timebox a round, snapshot the state, then commit the decisions. Lock frames that are done, leave a “parking lot” frame for later, and share a read-only link with stakeholders who only need visibility. When the session ends, export a CSV of prioritized items for import into your task system.

Tailor the canvas to your role and workflow. Strategists can frame outcomes, break them into initiatives, and link dependencies to expose risk. Educators can storyboard a lesson: objectives, activities, checks for understanding, and materials, all cross-linked. Technologists can sketch a data model with entities, attributes, and relationships to align engineers and analysts before any code is written. Designers can map user flows, capture edge cases, and attach artifacts, while marketers chart customer journeys across channels and identify moments that drive conversion and retention. Web managers can whiteboard traffic paths, entry points, and fallbacks to plan smoother navigation and reduce drop-off.

Turn maps into motion. Convert clusters into a backlog and push them to your project tracker with an export. Create a single source of truth by embedding the board in your wiki or sending a live link that always reflects the latest state. Use frames as slides to present without leaving the canvas, and annotate decisions so context never gets lost. During weekly reviews, tag progress on each card, archive finished sections, and spin off a fresh board when a new workstream emerges. Countingup helps you move from scattered notes to clear structure, from structure to consensus, and from consensus to action—on one canvas built for thinking together.
