ExcalidrawZ is a native Excalidraw client for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS built with SwiftUI. It wraps the familiar Excalidraw canvas with native file management, iCloud sync, file history, encryption, export, and optional AI/MCP features.

Use cases

• draw diagrams with excalidraw on mac natively
• sync excalidraw drawings across iphone and ipad via icloud
• restore previous versions of my whiteboard sketches
• convert mermaid diagrams and pdfs into editable excalidraw files
• encrypt and lock sensitive drawings with touch id
• export excalidraw sketches as vector pdfs and images

When to choose

• you use Excalidraw daily on Apple devices and want native file management and iCloud sync
• you need file history, search, and locked/encrypted drawings
• you want Apple Pencil support and system-level integration instead of a browser tab

When to avoid

• you need Excalidraw on Linux, Windows, or the web
• you only need occasional quick sketches, where the free web app suffices
• you require deep customization or plugins beyond what the native app exposes
