Grafly is a free browser-based diagramming tool. In my view diagrams are purpose-driven tools for communication and clarity. I've tried to accomplish this with Grafly. Create flowcharts, generic diagrams for stuff (we all do stuff), AWS architecture diagrams, GCP cloud diagrams and more. No account needed, everything saves locally, you can share diagrams via smart URLs and it's fully open source.

Hi everyone, I'm Nenad. I built Grafly. Honestly this came out of pure annoyance. Every time I had to diagram something at work, an AWS setup, some service topology, whatever, I'd open the usual tools and immediately start fighting them. The general canvas ones don't know anything about what you're drawing, so you're manually placing every box. The code-based ones are great until you want to nudge one thing visually and can't. None of them felt made for the way I actually think about systems or what I want to achieve visually. So I spent a few months building the thing I wanted that combines the best from the tools I've had a lovehate relationship with. It's still early. I'm launching now on purpose because I'd rather put it in front of people who diagram this stuff daily than keep polishing it alone and guess at what matters. It's free and open source. I'll be around all day. If something's missing or annoying or broken, tell me. If you have suggestions, tell me. If you hate it, tell me. That's the whole reason I'm here.

Nice launch!

One thing I'm curious about: how does Graphy handle changes in data schemas over time? In my experience, dashboards often break or become inconsistent when events and metrics evolve as products grow.
