# What is Whimsical?

Whimsical is the whiteboard for thinking and planning. It’s built for teams to move from chaos to clarity and turn ideas into action with [**Boards**](https://whimsical.com/learn/boards/using-boards) for diagramming, wireframing, and whiteboarding.

It’s faster than heavy design tools built for high-fidelity prototyping and simpler than complex diagramming software tailored for formal documentation, so you go from 0 to 1 in record time.

Whether you’re collaborating with your team, external stakeholders or clients, Whimsical lets you communicate high-level ideas without worrying about the pixels. Turn abstract concepts and messy thoughts into “aha moments” of shared understanding, and keep everybody aligned and moving in the same direction.
