I use Whimsical as a UX designer to present user flows and information hierarchy to my team members inside of the organization and to clients when pitching ideas.
- Very learnable and memorable.
- Easy to present.
- Ability to comment.
- Ability to share.
- Simple interface.
- Customization of colors would be nice.
- Adding chains can be finicky.
- Moving boxes around is clunky - interferes with connections.

Whimsical is used by the Product, Product Design, and Brand Marketing departments. It used used for live whiteboard collaboration, mind mapping user journeys, wire framing, and other collaborative—early stage—projects. It’s has replaced our reliance on similar tools like Balsamic, InVision’s Freehand, draw.io, and other such tools by offering the same abilities. Not only are these tools in one application, but they are available concurrently allowing for free form collaboration and more complete and complicated projects.
- White-boarding.
- Mind mapping.

- Technical mapping.
- User flows.
- Wire framing.
- Ideation sessions.
- Export.
- Sharing with stakeholders.
- Temporary collaboration permissions.

I've used whimsical for a multitude of projects, however, my favorite to date was mapping out the workflow for our new onboarding system. I was able to present my team with a clear explanation and reason behind each step as well as provide a reference for future team members. We often use Whimsical as a workflow tracker and mind-mapping exercise.
- Mindmapping.
- Workflow.
- Business/department structure building.
- Basic wireframe builds.
- The ability to share is a bit lacking (you can only share the link if the document is public).
- Would be great if we had the ability to make the notes smaller.
We use Whimsical for quick and efficient user flow mapping, sitemapping, and wireframing for our web development clients. It's an amazing tool that makes sketching and thought mapping quick and easy. It's actually quicker than hand sketching, and it's superior in that it allows easy collaboration for our remote team.
- Simple low fidelity wireframing
- Site mapping
- User flow mapping
- Limited design capabilities for more detailed wireframing
