Harness the Power and Simplicity of Plain Text

Plain text has been around for decades and it's here to stay. Monodraw allows you to easily create text-based art (like diagrams, layouts, flow charts) and visually represent algorithms, data structures, binary formats and more. Because it's all just text, it can be easily embedded almost anywhere. Of course, exporting as images is also supported (PNG and SVG).

Diagrams

A picture is worth a thousand words. A diagram is probably worth twice as much. Enhance your technical documentation (code, specs) with easy to comprehend textual art. Visualisation of data structures, algorithms and data formats plays a crucial role in understanding. You will be reading the code more often than writing it, so why not make it much easier to grasp.

Mind Mapping

Combine the simplicity of plain text with the power of mind mapping. Monodraw gives you the freedom to manage your textual data exactly the way you want. Move text around anywhere in the infinite canvas – no need to be constrained by the linear structure of a text file.

ER Diagrams

Do you deal with databases? Then you know how useful entity-relationship diagrams can be. Visually describe your data model with a simple ER diagram. Monodraw supports Crow's Foot notation in three different variants to suit your personal preference.

What are the system requirements?

The app requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later.

If you're running an older version of macOS, you can download Monodraw v1.3 which requires macOS 10.10 Yosemite or Monodraw v1.5 which requires macOS 10.14 Mojave.

Which versions include the command line tool?

Only the versions which you download directly from our website and purchase from our store. Due to restrictions imposed by the App Sandbox on the Mac App Store, the tool cannot be included there.
