The open-source diagramming studio for builders
Paste a public GitHub repository and OpenFlowKit reads its files in the browser to draw modules and connections, with every arrow cited to the source line it came from.
29 diagram tools for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or any MCP client, so an agent can draw on the diagram you have open, one undo away.
Write or paste Mermaid, D2 or Structurizr; the text and the canvas remain the same diagram, so you can round-trip between syntax and visuals.
Move from system context to containers to components in linked views that all stay grounded in a single architecture model.

The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
