for Windows & Mac

Think in shapes.

A whiteboard that lives on your computer. Rough out an idea, map a system, mock up a screen or draw the art for your game, all on one fast canvas. It's a native app on Windows and on Mac, it works offline, and it opens your Excalidraw and draw.io files.

Coming soon Take the tour

Drag the handle

Messy when you're thinking. Tidy when you're sharing.

Start rough in the meeting, with wobbly lines, hatched fills and handwriting. When it's time for the design doc, switch the same drawing to crisp lines. You don't redraw a thing, and your arrows stay attached.

A proper desktop app

Room to think, with everything a click away.

The canvas fills the window. Panels float over it on frosted glass, slide away when you want the space, and peek back out when you rest the pointer at the edge. Every command has a shortcut, and the ones you use most sit in a quick bar you arrange yourself.

Two apps, not one stretched across both

Made for Windows. Made for Mac.

Most whiteboards that run everywhere are a web page in a window. AtlasDraw is written twice, once for each platform, with the same tools that platform's own apps are built with. So it starts fast, behaves the way the rest of your computer does, and copes with big drawings: both apps are tested on drawings of more than 100,000 shapes, spread out and densely packed.

Windows 10 & 11

Built with WinUI 3 and Win2D

  • Mica, and menus in the title bar, like the Windows apps around it
  • Built natively for both x64 and Arm PCs
  • Drawn on the GPU in tiles, so panning only draws what's coming into view and an edit only redraws what it touched
  • If Windows restarts or the app crashes, your unsaved work is there when you open it again

macOS 26

Built with SwiftUI, AppKit and Metal

  • The real menu bar, ⌘ shortcuts and Liquid Glass
  • Pinch to zoom and two-finger pan, with a haptic tick when a value snaps into place
  • Proper Mac documents: Open Recent, Duplicate, Rename and Revert
  • Sandboxed, and it doesn't ask for network access at all

One file format. A drawing saved on a PC opens on a Mac exactly as you left it, and back again.

Not just diagrams

Draw the art for your game.

Characters, props, tiles, buttons and whole screens, drawn as vectors you can go on editing. Gradients, gel shading, glow and soft shadows are built in, so the art looks finished rather than diagrammed. When it's ready, export a transparent PNG or an SVG and drop it into your engine.

Whole screens, from the backdrop to the HUD
Sprite sheets, exported with a transparent background

Every pose, side by side

Hold Alt (⌥ on Mac) and drag to copy a character, move an arm, and that's your next frame. Frames keep each screen or sheet in its own box.

A kit you build once

Save sprites, props and buttons to your library and drag them onto any screen. As the scene fills up, Layers lets you name, hide and lock every piece.

Ready for the engine

Export PNG at 1×, 2× or 3× with the background switched off, or SVG that stays sharp at any size. Or copy it and paste it straight into another app.

Fly Swat's first level, built up a layer at a time: backdrop, surfaces, scenery, pickups, characters, then the HUD. Every piece is made of AtlasDraw's own shapes, gradients and effects, and the whole game kit is a single file of more than 20,000 shapes.

Straight off the canvas

One canvas, a lot of jobs.

Everything below is made with AtlasDraw's own shapes, paths, gradients and effects. There are no imported images.

Flowcharts with decisions, loops and labelled branches
Network diagrams, from the modem to every VLAN
Screen flows for the app you're planning
Mockups detailed enough to argue about
Workshops with stickies, votes and stamps
Illustrations, just for the fun of it

No lock-in

Your drawings are files on your computer.

Works offline

No account, no tracking and no browser. Every change is autosaved to the file a moment after you make it, so a crash or a restart doesn't cost you your work.

Opens what you have

Excalidraw and draw.io drawings open as they are, custom draw.io shapes included. Libraries from libraries.excalidraw.com drop straight into your library.

  • .excalidraw
  • .drawio
  • .excalidrawlib

Sends it anywhere

Export the drawing as an image or a PDF, or hand it on as an Excalidraw or draw.io file. You can also copy it and paste it straight into excalidraw.com.

  • PNG
  • SVG
  • PDF
  • Excalidraw
  • draw.io

Built in the open

Come and help shape it.

AtlasDraw isn't out yet, but you can already share shapes, tell us what's missing and see what other people are drawing.
