## What is Grapholite Diagrams Maker?

Draw flow charts, floor plans, network layouts, uml, sketches & illustrations

Grapholite is an all-in-one diagrams designer aimed to create all types of business graphics and technical drawings from simple drafts and sketches to complex professional looking documents.

Despite the fact that app was designed with tablet devices in mind it contains all features that can be expected from the mature state-of-the-art diagramming solutions: a rich set of built-in themes and styles, sophisticated connection auto-routing algorithms, dynamic snap grid and integrated spline editor. The unique “sketch” mode allows single-click styling of any figure as if it is sketched by hand.

You can create basic shapes and connections very quickly thanks to the freehand drawing recognition. For complex drawings, there are hundreds of ready-to-use stencils on the toolbox that can be easily dragged to the canvas. Most of these stencils are not just static images, but complex objects with plenty of properties setting up their appearance and behavior in the designer.

 Grapholite can be used for:

• Flow charts;
• Swimlanes;
• Organizational charts;
• Uml diagrams;
• Web site structures and wireframes;
• Application’s interface sketches (ui mockups);
• Computer network layouts (including Cisco networks);
• Floor plans (office layouts, building plans, home plans etc.);
• Business process models (both bpmn 1.2 and bpmn 2.0 notations are supported);
• Mind maps and brainstorming diagrams;
• Venn charts and set charts;
• Data flow diagrams;
• Process flow diagrams;
• Workflows;
• Chevron and circular diagrams;
• Swot analysis;
• Scientific illustrations;
• Graphs, algorithms, schemes;
• Planograms;
• Infographics.

The app provides a unique set of shape behaviors for each diagram type. For example, windows and doors will automatically connect to walls in floor plans; shapes support automatic layout of children and collapsing\expanding of the hierarchy levels in org charts and mind maps. Connections auto-routing logic also depends on the diagram type.

Objects tree pane allows you to inspect, select, lock and hide all visual objects.

Print, share, export your diagrams and insert them in your web-sites, blog posts, publications, articles, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other media.

Grapholite supports export to Pdf, Png, Jpeg, Svg and Microsoft Visio (Vdx) formats. You can also import Microsoft Visio files from both Vdx and Vsdx (Visio 2013) formats.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-08-05, version 5.7.9*

Been using it for a while and it’s very helpful for build easy diagrams. Hope they still be adding new functionalities in the future.

### 5/5 — The best app for making graphs

*2025-01-24, version 5.7.9*

Tons of built-in templates.  Extremely User Friendly.  Great Printout Quality.  Fabulous sketchy lines for proof of concepts.  As an engineer, this is an indispensable tool for me for creating diagrams and sketches for client meetings, systems designs, layouts.  Draft it here, and give it to my engineers and drafters to put in CAD or Model in Revit.

### 1/5 — Grapholite

*2024-12-19, version 5.7.9*

I love Grapholite and have been using it for years on various iPads however recently when I leave the app for about a day and go back to my chart either it’s not there or half or it is gone, I would love to continue using Grapholite but this needs to be fixed before I by the premium plan, and when it is fixed I hope to use this app much more frequently.

### 3/5 — Crashes on not that big diagram

*2024-07-05, version 5.7.9*

Seems nice app, but difficult to navigate, some features located in not simple to find places, and most important: crashes when diagram contains a dozen or so elements.

### 3/5 — Приложение вылетело

*2024-02-25, version 5.7.9*

В каких то моментах хорошее приложение, в каких то не очень. Пару дней назад потребовалось создать модель процесса, за пару часов использования, приложение один раз вылетело, нечего не сохранилось. Вывод что лучше использовать бесплатную полнофункциональную версию в Docker.

### 1/5 — Автор софта - пора бы и поработать

*2024-01-25, version 5.7.9*

Автору - 100 лет поноса за такой софт. Мало того, что визио нормально не понимает, так еще и лагает при большом количестве отрисованных объектов.
Но это не конец. Недавно софтина начала виснуть. 

Кароч, жалко бабла, буду искать иной софт для блок-схем.

### 1/5 — Перестал открывать ранее сохраненные файлы!!!

*2024-01-25, version 5.7.9*

Пользуюсь программой, все устраивает, но перестал открывать сохраненные таблицы. Пишет сообщение Oblect reterence not set to an instance of an object.

Потеряны многие часы работы!!!

### 3/5 — The tools tray is not full

*2023-11-07, version 5.7.9*

Why does the tool tray on the left side of the iPad screen only display a small screen? It's very difficult to choose tools. The first time I install the app, everything appears when I tap it. After a few moments of use, only a small window remains.

### 1/5 — Upgraded version drops image files

*2023-03-19, version 5.7.8*

As said: once unlocked, the export function produces imageless, or distorted quality images in pdfs. A fraud.

### 1/5 — Great if you don’t Want to waste your work

*2023-03-05, version 5.7.8*

At the beginning was amazed by it, even bought the full package!

Now, from time to time the app decides if want to save your work (even saving it manually) and when it crashes, just can’t reload y the “saved” work.

Don’t waste your money and use Freeform or anything that preserves your work
