I’m a big fan of durdraw[1] for crafting ANSI/ASCII art in the terminal, but this takes it to a whole new level, excited to try this especially if it includes color? From the website examples it doesn’t appear to include a color palette, but if it does then game on!

Latest release Apr 2025 introduced a plain text save file format, which plays nicer for source control. Great to see development is still active.

Such an underrated app. I’ve used it for everything from network topologies and storage diagrams and even for my kitchen redesign. Works way better than every pricey specialized tool I’ve tried, and the ASCII outputs look way cooler with their old-school hacker ASCII aesthetic! Highly recommended.

It seems very good, is there anything comparable for Linux?

Good occasion to mention a super nice ASCII/UTF drawing library for Emacs: https://github.com/tbanel/uniline

Will love to buy this once I get my Mac.

Looks great, and also love the perpetual license for $9.99 rather than the host of subscription services, i'll probably end up buying it just to support good practices.

Mac only ?

Yes. Always nice to see good, Electron-free native apps for Mac.
