ASCIIFlow is a client-side web application for drawing ASCII diagrams and flowcharts. It runs entirely in the browser at asciiflow.com with no backend required.

Use cases

  • draw ascii diagrams in the browser
  • create flowcharts using plain text characters
  • make ascii architecture diagrams for documentation
  • sketch box-and-arrow diagrams in a readme
  • export diagrams as plain text

When to choose

  • you need text-based diagrams that work in plain-text environments like READMEs, code comments, or terminals
  • you want a zero-install, client-side tool with no account or backend
  • you need to edit or share diagrams as plain ASCII text

When to avoid

  • you need rich graphical diagrams with images, colors, or export to PNG/SVG formats
  • you need real-time collaborative diagramming
  • you need complex UML or ERD tooling with validation
