Mural
Digital workspaces for visual collaboration, inspiration and innovation anytime, anywhere, on any device.
InVision and Mural, in a rather curious twist of fate, both find themselves in the peculiar business of helping teams work together—remotely, naturally, because why not? They both offer cloud-based platforms designed to keep people collaborating in real time, as if time zones and distances are mere inconveniences. Both thrive on visual communication, making sure your ideas don’t just stay in your head, but instead get plastered across a screen like the chaotic brilliance they truly are. They integrate with the usual suspects, like Slack and Microsoft Teams, just in case you need your ideas to take a detour through a corporate chatroom.

Now, InVision, with the grace of an artist and the precision of a clockwork orange, has set its sights on design and prototyping. It came into the world in 2011, born in the land of apple pie and Silicon Valley. If you’re looking to create high-fidelity prototypes that let your designs live and breathe in a mockup, InVision is your trusty sidekick. With features that hand off design work to developers, it’s practically begging designers to get their ideas into the hands of code monkeys. It’s practically built for UX/UI folks, as if the universe conspired to make sure only they get to live in its world of prototypes and pixels.

Then there’s Mural, which, while it shares the same year of birth—2011, also in the United States—decided that it didn’t need to focus entirely on design. No, Mural is a bit more freewheeling, dabbling in workshops, brainstorming sessions and the kind of agile meetings that make your head spin. It’s less about shiny prototypes and more about chaotic, messy, brilliant thinking. Sticky notes, templates and visual thinking galore—Mural is a giant whiteboard for the mind, perfect for any team needing to hammer out a new idea or plan the next world-changing move.
