Free vs PRO

PRO-Only Features

Autostyles

Transform the look of your diagrams with one-click canvas themes:

• Sketch — hand-drawn, organic look with hachure fills and wobbly lines
• Comic — bold, thick outlines with exaggerated curves
• Blueprint — technical drawing style with crosshatch fills and precise lines
• Fine-tune each style's parameters (roughness, bowing, stroke thickness, fill patterns) in the Theme Style inspector
• Switch between styles instantly — your diagram content stays the same

Mind Maps

Capture and organize ideas in a dedicated mind-mapping mode:

• Grow maps from the keyboard (Tab for a child, Return for a sibling)
• Eight structures (Mind Map, Logical, Org Chart, Tree, Catalog, Fishbone, Timeline, Vertical Timeline)
• Built-in themes, per-node icons and shapes, group frames, and summaries
• Export to Markdown, OPML, and XMind; create a map from Markdown with Edit → Paste Markdown as Mindmap
• See the Mind Maps guide

Custom Styles

Save your own reusable diagram styles alongside the built-in canvas themes:

• Duplicate a built-in style or start fresh, then fine-tune every parameter
