업데이트 이후 느려졌어요

작성된 코드의 Redering 때문인지, 코드작성시 지연현상이 있습니다.

Last update (8.1) broke it for me

I can’t open complex diagrams anymore after the last update. When I do (after the app passes the loading phase), I can’t export to PNG. The button is grayed out. Trying to share via AirDrop also doesn’t work. 8.0 was working fine.

Great product

I’m enjoying Markchart, it’s simplicity of use is a plus. Full mermaid markdown language support for all diagram styles. Syntax checking and error text a great feature. One of Payment for Pro definitely worth the cost. Inline help and syntax guide extremely useful.

Almost perfect

This tool works great and would be perfect with just some UX tweaks to allow zooming and dragging when using a mouse.

More of a Mermaid Viewer than an Editor

As far as I can tell it allows you to edit the Mermaid text in one pane, and see the results in another. Not any different from editing the mermaid text in your favorite editor and then firing up a viewer in another window.

Impressed

Purchased the pro in app purchase about two months ago. Have emailed support with two feature requests and they were added. Also the dev puts out updates regularly and I’m happy it’s a once off charge and not a subscription. 5 stars. thanks

Excellent

A great tool to create all sorts of Mermaid diagrams. Fits great into Apple‘s apps. The new syntax highlighting feature is especially helpful.

Diagrammes et organigrammes rapides

Un éditeur mermaid efficace, désormais mon éditeur du quotidien pour formaliser les organigrammes et modéliser des infrastructures.
Il y a d’autres outils pour faire du mermaid, notamment dans des éditeurs markdown, mais là on a un outil indépendant et rapide à utiliser.

Great tool, though not clear what version of Mermaid it supports

This is exactly the kind of tool I was looking for that allows me to write diagrams with my text editor of choice with all its features and shortcuts that I'm used to, and see the diagram rendered immediately on saving the file. It also has some nice export options for the rendered diagrams. Overall, worth the 9 bucks for the full version.
My only issue so far is that it does not specify anywhere what version of the Mermaid standard it supports. The help and FAQ link to the official Mermaid site for reference on Mermaid syntax which implies it should support everything documented there, but I have noticed it doesn't support newer features such as central connections and half arrows on sequence diagrams, and it also does not support combining aliases with participant type configuration on sequence diagrams either.
It would be useful if the Mermaid version the app supports was listed somewhere (such as the FAQ or Release Notes), to make it clear what features should be expected to be supported.

Best Mermaid Image Export

I wish these tools could do more. I wish I could click on anything and change its properties and colors without typing any code. To be clear, I do not want an AI prompt, I want a WYSIWYG editor.
However, MarkChart gets image export, theme, and background color right. Nice looking rendered diagrams!

Convenient implementation of mermaid.js for making charts

This is a convenient implementation of mermaid.js for making charts. It includes new features such as the ELK renderer. The developer is responsive. I asked: "I don't know the official way to just bring up the editor to paste in code and then save it where you want." The response: "For now, the simplest way to create a new diagram by pasting code is to launch MarkChart on iOS, choose the Blank template, and then paste your code directly into the editor. From there, you can save it wherever you like."

Useless

Basicly this app is completley useless because you can write faulty Code and it renders it. Also the first thing happens is a popup where you can buy it for10€! For? Mermaid Syntax that did not work anywhere else. You can use the basic online mermaid.live Editor from web and install it via browser as an app. Works well in iOS and iPadOS

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience, and thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. MarkChart always aims to use the latest version of Mermaid. Some online editors may run older versions, which can lead to differences in supported syntax or features. If you ran into specific code that didn’t behave as expected, we’d really appreciate the chance to take a look and help. You can use MarkChart for free. The Pro version is optional and adds deeper integration into iOS and iPadOS, including Quick Look previews, Shortcuts integration, and PDF/SVG export. If you’d like to share more details or examples, please feel free to reach out anytime at support@markchart.app. We’re happy to help. – Alex

Does what it says.

Dead simple and nimble. No complaints.

Sein Geld nicht wert

Eigentlich bekommt man wirklich überall mermaid Programme umsonst. Jedoch habe ich es für den Export für SVG gekauft. Dieser Export produziert fehlerhafte SVGs. Das ist nicht nur peinlich, sondern macht das Programm vollkommne unnütz.

Looks great and works as expected

Using this for school. Would like to see “tabs” implemented. Currently each one is opened in its own window.

Intuitive and Geared for Success

I am pretty jazzed. I have been wanting an app like this because Mermaid is a very handy, portable, and powerful way to visually show how something should work, be in time, perform, and flow. The challenge, similar to markdown itself, is learning the syntax. This app helps you with this by providing templates that you can start with and direct links to documentation where a specific detail is needed. For someone exploring Mermaid, these features built in to the foundation of this app are valuable. I have already learned several new things thanks to this feature. The UI is clean and easy to use. For the price it is a no brainer to get.

Great experience so far with one caveat…

It’s a great app that delivers on what it promises. The only missing feature: when first opening the app, please add a “Recents” view (macOS version) with the last opened diagrams — so it’s quicker to resume working on a particular diagram. Having that would be a 5 star for me.

Broken

Anytime I try to make a new file it just says cannot import file type and it won’t open any files I have saved in the cloud or on device. I’ve uninstalled multiple times.

Fits in my workflow perfectly

Although I could do the same using VSCode this is so much lighter and flexible. I am really glad I found this applicaton.

Pinch zoom does not work as expected

A useful tool for working with Mermaid diagrams on the desktop. Unfortunately an improperly working pinch zoom spoils the overall positive experience with this tool.
