For the past few months, we’ve been working hard on the next big update for Diagrams, and today we’re announcing Diagrams 2.0 Macaw! Read on to learn more about the upcoming changes.
Diagrams 2.0 is a new milestone for the app in terms of functionality. The update takes its name from the macaw, a beautiful parrot with vibrant, colorful feathers. Just as macaws come in a variety of colors, you’ll be able to apply an extended pool of colors to your diagrams. And in addition to the introduction of new color variations and text formatting options, we rethought the customization workflow from the ground up.
With Diagrams 2.0, you’ll be able to use different palettes. When creating a diagram, you can start with one of the preset palettes or create your own palette from scratch. Each document will have its own set of types in the palette, which can be edited, allowing you to create as many different element and relationship combinations as you need. You’ll no longer be limited to four colors of each shape!
Whether you want to do some simple brainstorming with just a few boxes, or create complex technical diagrams with dozens of different shapes, colors, and arrows, the new document palettes offer the flexibility you need!
Lastly, Diagrams 2.0 will be ready for the next generation of the Mac ecosystem. In addition to a shiny new app icon and an overhauled UI specifically tailored for macOS Big Sur, it will include support for the Apple M1 chip.
This update is free for all existing users, and we can’t wait to share more details with you! Follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our newsletter to be notified as soon as the update goes live early next year.
