Simple by design, powerfully deep
The simple path is the default: open a link and draw. The depth is there the moment you reach for it, and you never trade one for the other.

Everything in this category
Start in one click
No install, no account, no blank-canvas dread. Land on a link and you're drawing in seconds.
Works on any device
It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install. Open the same diagram on your laptop, desktop, or tablet and pick up where you left off.
Looks simple, runs deep
A clean canvas hides serious range: groups, locks, the format painter, arrows that track, and links across tabs.
Multiplayer, no setup
Share one link and the whole team is on the canvas live, with cursors, presence, comments, and an activity log you can rewind. No seats to buy, no setup.
Import a Markdown outline
Bring an outline in from XMind, Obsidian, or any notes: headings and nested bullets become a tidy, themed node-link tree. Pick Markdown in the import dialog — it builds onto the current tab, and one undo takes it back.
Keyboard shortcuts
The moves you repeat have keys: undo and redo, delete, switch tools, and drop a shape, arrow, sticky, or text without reaching for the palette. Hold Cmd and the palette shows each key. A built-in cheat sheet lists them all, and you can switch them off per device.
