Create flowcharts (and mind maps) without worrying about layout in QuikFlow. With our innovative interactive layout algorithms, you can work as if you were using a mind mapping application while creating flowcharts. Define your structure and the app handles the layout! CREATE FLOWS, NOT JUST MIND MAPS Creating flows is just like creating mind maps. But without the restrictions. Let flows converge or loop back around. All while retaining the same intuitive workflow. FOCUS ON YOUR CONTENT, NOT ON THE LAYOUT Define your flow and the relationships between different elements. The layout happens automatically while you are working. To adjust the layout, you can reorganize elements using drag-and-drop. MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE DETAILS No matter what you change, the layout will automatically adapt. Paste a whole subflow into the middle of the flow. Delete any part of the flow, no matter how intertwined. You won’t have to spend most of your time fixing the layout. EXPAND YOUR FLOW A node is simple. But every node can expand into a full rich-text document with headlines, lists, images, links, dividers and more. On canvas or in off-canvas notes. There can even be interactive tasks and checklists, allowing you to do flow-based task management. FIND YOUR STYLE Style each node and connector. Quickly reuse styles across your graph using the automatically generated library. Find the right look for new files using our premade templates or your own custom templates. SHARE AND EXPORT WITHOUT SURPRISES Easily share your creations in popular file formats (PDF and PNG). In high quality and without fuss. It is that simple. INPUT BEYOND THE TOUCH We think we built the qui(c)kest way to create a flow using touch. But QuikFlow started on desktop. And we brought all the mouse and keyboard support over to iPad. USE FOR FREE. UPGRADE IF YOU WANT TO QuikFlow gives you access to many features, including all of our innovative layout features, for free without any strings attached. You can upgrade to QuikFlow Pro to access expanded node content, styling, templates, and additional export features. Try QuikFlow Pro with a free 7-day trial.

Most productivity apps are built for today's to-do list. Chekhov is built for the long game — the book you're writing, the degree you're finishing, the business you're building. It connects your daily effort to your biggest ambitions, so you can see your progress adding up and keep going. PLAN BIG, WORK SMALL • Organise your ambitions into projects, broken into phases and tasks • Add subtasks and tags to keep even sprawling projects manageable • A "Today" view surfaces just what needs your attention right now BUILD HABITS THAT STICK • Track habits on the cadence that fits — daily, weekly, monthly, and more • Three ways to complete: a simple check-off, a quantity (pages written, kilometres run), or time spent • Streaks, totals, and a 90-day history grid show your consistency at a glance LOG THE WORK, SEE THE PROGRESS • Time-track work sessions and link them to your projects • Record custom units of progress — words drafted, problems solved, whatever you're measuring • Keep journal-style notes attached to each project, so context never gets lost STAY FOCUSED • A built-in Pomodoro timer structures your work into focused sessions • Start a session from anywhere and get notified when it's time to break KNOW WHERE YOU STAND • Get assessments for your tasks, projects, and habits — and advice on what deserves attention next • Productivity scores and stats turn scattered effort into a clear picture MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • A layout that adapts from phone to iPad, including split view and multitasking • Your data syncs across devices, so you can plan at your desk and check off on the go Five-year plans fail one ordinary day at a time. Chekhov makes the ordinary days count.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chekhov at none against QuikFlow's 3. Chekhov also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). QuikFlow's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
