QuikFlow, but with the Pro In-App-Purchase already unlocked! 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.
