The biggest update yet, Diagrams 2.0 Macaw, brings full optimization for macOS Big Sur and the new M1 Macs, along with many new features like palette presets, customizable palettes, and new styling options.
I bought Diagrams 1.0 when it first came out. It was 90% of what I wanted: immediately easy to use, no fluff, clean and simple design. I'd say with 2.0 that 8 of the remaining 10% is now there. Far more options for styling diagrams, still no fluff, and so easy to use. By far my favorite app for quickly sketching our processes with people, which is often.
@brandonhull Thanks for the kind words, Brandon! Great to hear that Diagrams supports you so well at your work. Our clean and focused design is still important for us. Though we don’t have intentions to stop here either. ;)
Hello PH,
Lukáš from the Diagrams team here. 👋
It’s been exactly one year since we launched Diagrams, a fresh take on a diagram editor, and one designed specifically for Mac. While the initial version focused mainly on canvas editing and featured a single fixed palette, version 2.0 comes with multiple palette presets and lets you customize the palette to fit your needs. You can now leverage new styling options — including the highly requested additions of more element colors and text formatting — for crafting your element and relationship types.
Diagrams 2.0 is now available on the Mac App Store as a one-time purchase. It’s $22.99, and existing users get it for free. If you want to give it a try first, you can download a free trial version from our website.
If you want to learn more about the concept behind palettes, please refer to this blog post. We can’t wait to see how you’ll use this unique functionality and what use cases you’ll come up with.
We’d love to hear what you think about this update, and we’re happy to answer your questions!
Thanks,
Lukáš
@jan_mazurek You would miss out on not doing so. ;) You can test Diagrams for free with our 7-day trial once you get your shiny Mac: https://diagrams.app/trial
Congratulations Lukáš!
What a journey. I have been following the development since hour 0, and I can still remember very well the day when we sat on my terrace and talked about the project. Back then in pure theory, without a line of code. And now? Version 2 has been published. 😃
I wish you all the best and much success!
Cheers,
Frank
@phranck Hi Frank, thank you! It's much appreciated. Of course, I remember visiting you. By the way, it's been over seven years now! Back then, I was looking for peer support, and you've been very well known in the Mac developer community… Thanks for all the encouragement in the early days! A lot has changed since then, but we're still on track!
