May I ask you what were the reasons you abandoned visual tools?


Hi there,

I’m the developer of Diagrams, a native Mac app for creating structured diagrams that lets you visualize your thoughts, processes, and systems. No matter whether you want to draw a simple flowchart or describe a complex software architecture, Diagrams will support you with that.

We’ve recently announced Diagrams 2.0, a major update that brings a bunch of new functionality as well as optimizations for the latest Apple technology (macOS Big Sur, Apple Silicon). Currently, we’re actively looking for new testers to join our beta program and help us polish this update before the public release. If you’re interested in participating in the beta, please request a seat: https://links.diagrams.app/beta-signup

Cheers! Lukas


Hi Lukas,

Will people (like myself) who just bought Diagrams today get 2.0 when it comes out of beta?


Hi, Diagrams 2.0 will be a free update, so yes, you’ll get it automatically once it’s released.


Hi, the developer of Diagrams here. I think your point is very valid and we’ll consider adding this information. We can think of online tools like LucidChart and draw.io. What desktop Mac apps would you include in this category?



Hi! Here is Lukas, the founder of Diagrams. We launched our website on Monday and announced it on Twitter only. I must say I’m astonished to see us on position three of Hacker News today!

At this time we’re in the middle of the development. However, this week’s support really encourages us to work even harder on a perfect product. And we’re also very happy to have several offers from developers and designers who offered collaboration!

It’s great to read your feedback in form of ideas, expectations and questions. You can be assured we read them all attentively. Please keep on posting. We will try to give as many answers as possible in future blog posts.

We also got several requests for beta testing - we will announce the opportunity to apply for an upcoming beta phase via our mailing list, which you can enter here: https://diagrams.app/

Have a good time. Lukas
