InfraCanvas is built for people who need to reason through systems: platform workflows, network diagrams, cloud services, identity paths, dependencies, handoffs, and the operational details that are easier to understand when the pieces are visible.

Canvas

Build system maps quickly.

Add devices, services, networks, identity elements, process blocks, data stores, and notes to a freeform board.

Connectors

Show the relationships clearly.

Use straight or elbow connectors, labels, arrows, and link types for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VPN, fiber, power, and dependency paths.

Files

Keep diagrams local and portable.

Save boards as `.infracanvas` files, then export snapshots as PNG or PDF for tickets, notes, documentation, or review.

Requirements

Built for current Mac releases.

The downloadable DMG is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. That means macOS can verify the release before opening it, while the source remains available for review on GitHub.

Open source
