About OmniGraffle

OmniGraffle from The Omni Group is a long-running native diagramming and layout app for Apple devices. It handles flowcharts, network diagrams, org charts, wireframes and page layouts, with fine control over styles, layers, Bézier shapes, artboards and automatic layout. Stencils (shape libraries) can be downloaded from the Stenciltown community, and JavaScript automation and plug-ins work on both Mac and iOS. It reads Visio files, templates and stencils, which helps when exchanging work with Windows colleagues. The app comes in Standard and Pro levels, with Pro adding features such as shared layers, subgraphs and advanced export, and you can buy it outright or subscribe. A 14-day trial is included. It is a single-user, file-based tool rather than a collaborative cloud canvas, and there is no Windows, Android or web version, so it mostly appeals to Mac-based designers, consultants and engineers who value polish and precision.

Best for: Mac and iPad users who want precise, polished diagrams and layouts in a native app.
