Spill
Everyone writes on their own for five minutes. Notes stay private until the facilitator reveals them, so nobody anchors on the loudest idea.
for retros, planning days and workshops
One shared wall for every remote workshop.
Muster is a multiplayer whiteboard. Your whole team writes, sorts and votes on sticky notes together, with a timer and a facilitator who can bring everyone back to the same spot.
Free for three boards. Guests join with a link, no account.

how a session runs
Spill, sort, settle. Ninety minutes, not a week of threads.
Every Muster template follows the same three moves, so people who have never used it know where to look.
Sort
Drag notes into clusters together and name each one. Muster draws a loose loop around a group as soon as three notes touch.
Settle
Three votes each, counted when the timer ends. The top cluster gets an owner and a date before anyone leaves the call.
the whole room, on one screen
Built for the person running the session.
Facilitators get the controls a good room gives you: a clock on the wall, a way to call everyone over and a quiet moment to think.
Follow me
One click and every screen jumps to the frame you are on. No more “which bit are we looking at?”
Private writing
Notes are blurred for others until you press Reveal. Quiet people write as much as loud ones.
Wrap-up page
Muster turns the top clusters, owners and dates into a short summary you can paste anywhere.
the facilitator's kit
Everything on the wall, nothing in a menu.
A timer everyone can see
Set five minutes for writing. It sits on the board, turns coral at the last thirty seconds and plays a soft chime.
Dot voting
Hand out three, five or ten votes. Totals stay hidden until the round closes.
Private mode
Write alone, reveal together.
Follow the facilitator
Bring 40 people to the same frame at once.
Breakout frames
Split the board into groups of four, each with its own frame and timer. When time is up, one button pulls everyone back to the main wall.
Send actions on
Owners and due dates go straight to your task tool, chat channel or doc. See integrations.

Small numbers that add up to shorter meetings.

What facilitators say
Our quarterly planning used to be two days in a hired room. Now it is one afternoon on Muster, and the notes are still there in March when someone asks why we chose what we chose.
