Shape ideas.Connect everything.

Zketchly is one workspace for diagrams, database schemas, documents and whiteboards. Each has its own editor, and they stay linked: embed a schema in a spec, open the doc behind a table, pin both to a board.

Free, no account. Your work is saved in this browser.

One Booking System, four views

Drag the shapes. Every view shows the same project. Focus a shape and use the arrow keys to move it.

Three editors, each built for its job

A schema is not a sketch, and a spec is not a sticky note. Zketchly gives each its own tools, then lets them refer to each other.

Diagrams with meaning

Flowcharts, mind maps, ERDs and architecture diagrams are separate modes, not one canvas with different labels.

  • Flowcharts: process, decision and start/end shapes; add the next step in one click.
  • Mind maps: real parent and child topics, laid out for you, reorganised by dragging.
  • Architecture: services, data stores and queues inside named boundaries.

Schemas that know what a foreign key is

Tables have typed fields with primary and foreign keys. Relationships connect fields, carry crow’s foot cardinality and can be previewed as SQL.

Documents for the explanation

A focused writing surface with headings, checklists, tables and code. Embed a live diagram instead of pasting a screenshot that goes stale.

Whiteboards for the messy part

Sticky notes, freehand ink, shapes, images and frames on an infinite canvas. Drop references to your diagrams and docs next to the ideas they came from.

Separate editors, connected work

Every item has a stable identity, so links and embeds point at the original. Edit the source once and every place that shows it is up to date.

  1. 1

    Model it

    Draw the Booking, User and Venue tables and relate them.

  2. 2

    Explain it

    Write the schema doc and embed the live ERD. Link the Booking table to its section.

  3. 3

    Plan it

    Pin the ERD and the doc to the planning board, next to open questions.

Each item lists what refers to it, so nothing becomes an orphan by accident.

Your work stays in your browser

Zketchly runs entirely on your device. There is no account and no server holding your content.

Because data lives in this browser, clearing site data or using a private window removes it. Export backups for anything important.

  • Diagrams, documents, boards and images are stored in this browser’s IndexedDB.
  • Nothing you create is uploaded. No analytics or tracking scripts are loaded.
  • Export a backup file at any time and restore it on another browser.
