Are there any "Whiteboard" apps, programs, or services that will cross-platform between an iPhone and Linux?

My wife is looking for an app that helps her save information from brainstorming, and is visually helpful. Most times, she's using her phone to search out her ideas and save them (pdf's, links, text, pictures) on her iphone's "Freeform app", but wants to be able to open it on our computer for more "in-depth refining"

I'm looking at maybe "Miro" but don't know anything about it. Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or more elegant solutions

A notebook and pen is always a thing she uses, but it's not as streamlined. I appreciate any ideas, or if there's a better community to ask this in

https://cryptpad.fr/ has some functionality that may work for her.

If it’s mind-mapping, Xmind’s free version is cross platform.

If it’s drawing, ios pages can save .docx for Libre office to open.

If it needs to be online (i.e. for collab) there’s some options there, but it depends on how she feels about hosting and/or privacy.

Maybe Joplin? I'm currently selfhosting it, but there are local and cloud sync options. It supports drawing, rich text, and markdown, with plugin support for different extensions.
