DrawMode

Software diagrams that
understand the system.

Create UML, C4, sequence, and data diagrams with an agentic AI assistant that understands the underlying models — not just the visuals.

Beautiful by default

Publication-quality, attractive visuals — DrawMode isn't just substance, it's designed to impress visually. Put C4, UML, sequence and state diagrams straight into an architecture review, paper or slide.

One interaction language

Hold Shift. The palette shows actions that make sense where your pointer is. Learn once, use everywhere.

AI sees the model

The assistant works on the same diagram with you — discussing, changing and improving your design. More →
