Learn more about draw.io Desktop
draw.io Desktop is an Electron-based desktop application that provides offline access to the draw.io diagramming editor. The application wraps the core draw.io web editor in a desktop environment, maintaining complete isolation from internet connections except for update checks. It implements a Content Security Policy that prevents external JavaScript execution and ensures no diagram data is transmitted externally. The application is commonly used for creating flowcharts, network diagrams, organizational charts, and technical documentation diagrams.
Complete Offline Operation
Functions entirely without internet connectivity, with all JavaScript files self-contained and diagram data stored locally. Only connects externally for version updates through GitHub releases.
Security-First Architecture
Implements Content Security Policy to prevent external data transmission and remote JavaScript execution. Designed with isolation as a primary objective to protect sensitive diagram data.
Electron Desktop Wrapper
Packages the web-based draw.io editor as a native desktop application using Electron. Maintains the full functionality of the web editor while providing offline access and local file storage.
