Miro alternative

A simple Miro alternative for meetings

Pinnarium is a lean alternative to large whiteboard platforms such as Miro when a meeting is about one thing only: collecting ideas together, organising them and deciding. Nobody needs an account, there are no cookies and no tracking, and the servers are in Germany.

Features

No account for anyone

Neither the facilitator nor the participants create an account. A code, link or QR code is enough – including for guests from outside your organisation.

Deliberately few features

No infinite canvas, no shapes, no diagrams: notes, sections, sticky dots, timer. First-timers find their way around in seconds.

Data-minimal

No cookies, no tracking, no third-party services, servers in Germany. Boards are deleted 7 days after the last change.

Facilitation built in

Write privately and reveal at once, pause pens, bring everyone to one section, laser pointer and sticky dots – no add-ons needed.

How it works

  1. Start board – Pick a template – no registration.
  2. Share the link – Participants join by code, link or QR code.
  3. Work together – Write notes, group them, vote with dots and export the result.

Frequently asked questions

When is Pinnarium a better fit than Miro?

For short, facilitated formats: brainstorming, retrospectives, pros & cons, topic rounds. When everyone should join instantly without an account and the data should disappear again after the meeting.

When is Miro the better choice?

When you need an unlimited canvas, diagrams, mind maps, integrations or permanently stored boards. Pinnarium deliberately does not do that.

Can I import boards from Miro?

No. Pinnarium is made for a single meeting: a new board is created in seconds, and the result can be exported as Markdown or CSV.

Is Pinnarium GDPR-friendly?

It is built for data minimisation: no cookies, no tracking, no third-party services or AI, servers in Germany, automatic deletion after 7 days. Details are in the privacy policy.
