Why we made it
Working on more than one laptop means logging in to WhatsApp Web or Gmail just to move one note or file — and remembering to log out. Here you just type your username and PIN. Everything is already there.
See It Live
1. Ravi logs in on his office laptop — just a username and a 6-digit PIN.
Step by step: log in with a username and PIN, create a board, share its QR code, a friend scans it on their phone and joins, then notes, files and drawings sync live between both devices.
Unlimited Devices
Log in on as many phones, laptops and PCs as you like. Notes, drawings and files — PDFs, photos, sheets — are pinned once and show up on every screen, live, with who added them and when.
Animation: people on an office PC, a home laptop, a tablet and phones add ideas to one shared board, and every idea appears on every screen within seconds. Any number of devices can be logged in.

How It Works
Takes 10 seconds. That's your account on every device.
One for home, one for office, one for the family — as many as you like.
Share a QR or 6-digit code, or add people by username. Everyone sees it live.
Private by design
Just a username and a 6-digit PIN for you. Behind it, the protections a serious app should have.
Only a salted, peppered hash. Not even we can read your PIN.
Forgot your PIN? Your recovery code resets it and logs every other device out.
Wrong PINs are limited per account, device and network. Your own devices stay trusted.
Every logged-in device is listed. Log one out, or all others, in a tap.
No public links. Owners can remove, block and report anyone.
No phone, email or contacts. Files and text delete themselves after 7 days.
Always served over HTTPS with strict security headers. No app can promise to be unhackable — we keep the doors few and the locks strong.
Good To Know
No. Pick a username and a 6-digit PIN — that's your whole account. We never ask for a phone number, email or WhatsApp.
Log in with the same username on every device. Your boards, sticky notes, drawings and files show up everywhere and update live within a couple of seconds.
Open the board, tap Share, and add them by their username. Only people you add can see the board — there are no public links.
Yes. Drag the corner of any note to resize it, change its colour, make the text bigger or smaller, copy it, or duplicate it. Every note shows who wrote it and when.
Any file — photos, PDFs, videos, documents, zips — plus plain text snippets. Filter by type (PNG, JPG, PDF…), date, or person. Files and text delete automatically after 7 days — sticky notes and drawings stay.
Yes, with the recovery code you got when you made your account: tap "Forgot PIN?" on the login card, enter your username, the code and a new PIN. Every other device is logged out and you get a fresh code. We never ask for a phone or email, so if you lose your username, or both your PIN and your recovery code, the account can't be recovered and you'll need a new one.
For privacy, a device logs out after 30 minutes without any activity. Just log in again with your username and PIN.
Your PIN is never stored — only a salted, peppered hash. Repeated wrong PINs are blocked per account, device and network. You can see every logged-in device and log any of them out from Security & devices, and idle devices log out after 30 minutes. Boards are only visible to people you add.
Yes, hi Boards is free to use. It works in any browser and can be added to your home screen like an app.
Free forever for home, family and small teams.
