What this tool does
Drawnix is an open-source infinite canvas for mind maps, flowcharts, freehand drawing, shapes, and text. It runs entirely in your browser here; board data is saved with localforage (IndexedDB / localStorage) and is never uploaded.
How to use
- Open the page and start drawing; a short tutorial appears on first visit.
- Use the toolbar for select, hand, mind map, shapes, arrows, pen, and more.
- Open/save files or export PNG/SVG/JPG from the menu; refresh restores the last local board.
FAQ
Is board data uploaded?
No. It stays in your browser storage only. Our servers never receive canvas contents.
What if I clear site data or switch devices?
Local boards do not sync across devices. Export a backup from the menu before clearing storage.
Mobile support?
Touch works, but complex editing is better on desktop; some tools collapse on small screens.
Open-source credits?
Built on Drawnix (MIT, https://github.com/plait-board/drawnix) and the Plait framework (MIT, https://github.com/worktile/plait). Related deps are MIT or Apache-2.0 — no AGPL/GPL stack.
Difference from drawnix.com?
Same core board. Here it lives inside AppShotMaker’s toolbox with site locale synced into the board UI; still fully local.
