Designed mainly for programmers and web designers, Runway is a smooth-running and user-friendly macOS diagramming and vector design tool. This said, the application is recommended for developing flowcharts, creating wireframes and for model relationship visualization.
Intuitive and user-orientated UML design utility
The first thing you’ll probably notice once you start up Runway is how easy it is to work with. Everything feels right at home on OS X and is exactly where it should be, no surprise then that dragging and dropping elements from one place to another is accompanied by smooth and natural transitions.
What’s more, because Runway has support for “connected” lines and for “smart” paths, you will find that connecting shapes and elements for your diagrams will be a very easy task. The lines will automatically snap to other shapes and adjust themselves according to the position of the element.
Comes with a large collection of UML design tools, without being intimidating
Noteworthy are Runway’s built-in Bezier Path tool that will help you effortlessly create vector graphics, its support for OS X features like QuickLook, Full-Screen mode, Autosave, and Version Browsing. What’s more, Runway makes it possible for you to export your compositions to common image formats like PNG, JPEG, TIFF or multiple-page PDF.
Needless to say that you have full control over every element of your projects and by right-clicking them you can copy, cut, duplicate, copy their style, bring to front, send to back, hide, lock, edit text, or insert image just to name a few.
Design flowcharts on your Mac with the help of this simple yet powerful app
Taking all things into consideration, if you are looking for a comprehensive diagramming and vector design tool that isn’t very complicated and bundles a macOS native user-interface, then Runway is a very good choice, and you should give it a try.
