Introducing tldraw offline

Hey, it’s Steve from tldraw.

Today we’re launching tldraw offline, a file-based desktop application that brings our popular infinite canvas experience to your computer. You can get it for free at offline.tldraw.com.

The application has no accounts and no server, meaning that you can diagram, whiteboard, and organize your thoughts on tldraw’s canvas while offline or perhaps underwater. If you’ve ever wanted to just work with tldraw using files that live on your computer, then you’ll love tldraw offline.

There’s another reason you might love tldraw offline: your AI can use it, too.

Hey Claude, do it in tldraw

Specifically, it works incredibly well with the AI agents that also live on your computer. If you use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Pi, then you’ll be able to ask your agent to access, edit, and add scripts to your tldraw offline files.

Scripting brings a whole new dimension to the tldraw experience. Using latent features of the tldraw SDK, agents are able to drive the canvas to create shapes, import assets, listen to changes, and much more. In addition to one-off scripts, agents can also write persistent scripts that change tldraw’s behavior, respond to external data, or communicate with other software. These scripts load whenever the file loads, allowing each tldraw file to operate as a little app of its own.

What exactly can you do? You can do a lot of things. Ask your agent to create illustrations for your slide deck, ask Codex to build applications based on your wireframes, or create a working user interface for your smart home. If your agent can do it on your computer, then it can do it with tldraw offline.

Remember that AI agents are better at writing code than drawing pictures.
