neoloopy vs OrgQuick

neoloopy is a local-first tool for systems thinking. Map any system as a causal-loop diagram, let neoloopy find the feedback loops that drive it, simulate it as stocks and flows, grow a Graph: a system map that holds your ideas next to live references to your models, variables, loops, and concepts — and model a process as a Petri net and keep every run as evidence. CAUSAL LOOPS, FOUND FOR YOU • Draw a variable, connect causes to effects, and mark each link same-direction (+) or opposite (−). neoloopy continuously detects every closed feedback loop and badges it Reinforcing (R) or Balancing (B) — the heart of how systems grow, stall, and stabilize. • Recognize the patterns. Classic archetypes like Limits to Growth and Tragedy of the Commons surface when your structure matches them. • Read the dynamics. Mark delays, flag virtuous vs. vicious cycles, and see how much of your model sits inside feedback loops. • Annotate richly. Write a note on any loop or variable to capture what it means and why it matters. STOCKS, FLOWS AND SIMULATION — FREE • When a map is ready for more, draw it in stock-and-flow notation on the same canvas — stocks as tanks, flows as channels — and export the result as SVG. • Give stocks and flows equations and run the model. Compare scenarios, fit it to data, check units, and rank which loops dominate when. GRAPH — YOUR SYSTEM MAP • Put an idea on the canvas and link it to the real thing: a model, a variable, a loop, a concept from your vault. References stay live, so the map is never a stale drawing of your thinking. • Focus on one node and the map re-centers around it. A +N badge counts its hidden relations — tap to bring them in, tap again to prune. • Search the structure. The board lists every node and relation with search and filters, so a hundred-node map is still navigable on a phone. • Plain files. Every graph is a Markdown note in your vault, and graphs import from and export to Cypher for tools that speak property graphs. PROCESSES — PETRI NETS • Draw a process on the canvas: places hold tokens, transitions fire, arcs connect them. • Check a draft's health before you run it. Missing data, disconnected elements and undocumented meanings are listed; the draft tells you when it is executable. • Step the process and keep the run. Every run is immutable, pinned to the exact source revision it ran from, and replays the same way every time. • Document each element's meaning in Process Docs, right next to the drawing. • Export a process with its saved source, runs and analyses, and import it elsewhere with an explicit identity decision — create, replace or duplicate. • Viewing and replaying processes is free. Editing them is part of neoloopy's license for organizations; what you have stays open. ENGAGE — BUILD FROM YOUR INTENT • Tell Engage what you want a model to help you understand or decide. It asks one model-specific question at a time until the next useful increment is clear — not a generic checklist. • Pick a journey up where you left it, or end it and start another. LEARN AS YOU GO • A built-in systems-thinking glossary explains every term — causal link, polarity, delay, reinforcing, balancing — right where you need it. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN • No account required. Download it and work offline. • Your models and graphs are plain Markdown files in a folder on your device — yours to keep, back up, and open in other tools. Export any model to a file and import it on another device. • Obsidian-compatible vault format. Your thinking is never locked in. • Search in English and, per vault, in Korean. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics inside the app. • Optional Cloud sync is end-to-end encrypted: notes are encrypted on your device before they ever leave it, so we relay only ciphertext and cannot read your models. Map a business, a habit, a team, an ecosystem, a policy, a process — anything with moving parts that affect each other. Think in loops, and keep the map.

OrgQuick turns a few lines of text into a tidy org chart that updates as you type. No boxes to drag around: type the names, indent them to build the hierarchy, and the diagram draws itself. HOW IT WORKS You type on the left, the org chart appears live on the right. Indentation makes the levels; a handful of symbols do the rest: • Indentation for the hierarchy — who reports to whom • :: for the role — Mario Rossi :: CEO • # for a group — a box that gathers a department • > for an assistant, placed to the side • ~ for a direct link between any two people or departments, with a label: a cross-team relationship, not a hierarchical one WHAT YOU CAN DO • Watch the chart change in real time as you edit the text • Gather people into groups, laid out over several rows to save space • Add assistants and cross-links that route around the other boxes • Export to PDF, ready to print or share • Sync through iCloud: your charts follow you across Mac, iPad and iPhone MAC, IPAD, IPHONE On Mac and iPad you write and edit, with the editor next to the diagram; on iPhone you read the chart. Everything stays in sync through iCloud, with no account and no setup. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK The free version builds one org chart up to three levels deep. With “Unlock everything”, a one-off purchase, you remove every limit: unlimited charts and unlimited depth. PRIVACY Your org charts are just text and they stay yours: saved on your device and, if you turn on iCloud, in your private iCloud space. There is no server of mine, no account, no analytics, no tracking.
