A storm of ideas, without the mess
Traditional brainstorming often means chaos. Sticky notes get lost, whiteboards become cluttered, and only the loudest voices are heard.
What should be a creative session can quickly become unproductive.
Wooclap's brainstorming tool brings structure and clarity to the process. Participants submit ideas on digital cards, even anonymously. You can organize these ideas by theme, prioritize the best ones with votes, and display everything live on screen for a truly interactive experience.

Prioritize with 'likes'
Let the group decide what's most important. The "like" feature allows participants to vote on ideas, instantly surfacing the most popular or relevant concepts for discussion.
Keep it focused with a timer
Add a sense of energy and urgency. The built-in timer keeps the session on track and ensures that the brainstorming activity remains dynamic and productive.
