draw.io Desktop is an open‑source, cross‑platform diagramming application built with Electron. It provides a full‑featured offline editor for creating flowcharts, network diagrams, UML, and more.

Use cases

• Create technical diagrams and flowcharts without an internet connection
• Design network or architecture diagrams for documentation
• Export diagrams to PNG, SVG, PDF, or other formats for reports
• Store diagram files locally or on cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive
• Embed diagrams in Confluence, Notion, GitHub, or other collaboration tools
• Collaborate on diagrams with shared cursors via integrated cloud storage
• Use a privacy‑first diagram editor for sensitive or confidential data

When to choose

• You need a secure, offline‑first diagram editor that never accesses your data
• You want a free, open‑source tool that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• You require integration with multiple cloud storage providers while keeping data local
• You prefer a desktop application with no sign‑up or subscription

When to avoid

• You need real‑time multi‑user editing with advanced collaboration features beyond shared cursors
• You require specialized CAD or 3D modeling capabilities not provided by draw.io
• You need a lightweight web‑only solution without installing a desktop app
