OmniGraffle for Mac

7.18.5

7.18.5

See all Versions

I am using Sierra on my iMac and OmniGraffle will not open on it.

Love this app. I use it every day and it is one of the most user friendly graphics apps I have on my mac!

Nice program but way too powerful and complex for my needs. I used to work with Diagram! on a NeXt station, then that became OmniGraffle frankly I miss the old versions. It is as if my bicycle had become a Jumbo Jet with the years !!!

Maybe Omni could add the option/preference of a simple program/interface, a bit like TextWrangler was to BBedit. I do not mind paying OG price but I want simplicity : no layers, few options, etc. The *** rating is for too much complexity.

Bring back Diagram!

Yeah! Dark Mode support!

Upgraded to High Sierra and the older version I already bought and paid for no longer works.

Still using OmniGraffle v4.2.3 from 2008 on macOS Sierra! It works amazingly well on Sierra and supports the Sierra tabbed window interface. Unbelievable for 9 year old software and I tip my hat to Omni Group for making their software future proof.

Now version 7.3.0. I do not know release date.

tryout noting, direct or Mac App Store only ?

Love the capabilities, and they're probably worth the price. But the UI is as counter-intuitive as any application I can think of. Unless I use it regularly I spend a lot of time looking up how to do things. Went back to the reincarnation of Canvas. Much easier to use.

https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle ver.6.5.1 now.

As to the price, everyone should think about the benefit in a long run. Think about these cheap, so-called easy to use apps that actually make things not easy and disturbing to go before this one, they are not pricey, but you know what? They can’t even be used when needed.....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, that’s something you should remember about. Now back to the app, it almost covers everything in my work that I have to get done with, mainly the flow charts and org charts. Previously a crash problem happened when canceling an export while the Font Panel was showing, now that the bug has been fixed then things went pretty good I think. Overall, it’s worth a try and a pretty much reliable one.

Use OminGraffle everyday for work. Version 6 totally sucks. Hate the UI. Back to version 5.

I use this for drawing flow charts and it is a breeze to use. No other app comes close. But it is very expensive imo. A price tag for around $25 would be more acceptable.

price is ridiculous in typical Omni Fashion otherwise good software but price makes it a no go. Also templates and objects are design wise fairly outdated could do with some nice web 2.0 templates to create graphs

Since Snow Leopard OmniGraffle is very very slow to launch ... the colored wheel turn and turn... Unfortunately, I love this software ;)

It's amazing. A little bit pricey, but worth every penny! the best software that I have used these days. Stable, full of features, easy to use. I also use it to design spaces in my courses in college. Fully recommended.

Nice at what it does BUT version 5 really add practically nothing to previous version (4.2.3).

So you gave OmniGraffle 5.x a 1 star rating in every category because there wasn't a curly bracket stencil. Reported for being an ass.

I was looking for a Visio-type program for the Mac and was very excited to find OmniGraffle. The program appears to be an excellent solution for Mac users needing diagramming tool. However, don't be fooled. After one hour of pleasant use, I needed a curly bracket/brace {} stencil. For the next hour I scoured the entire program looking for this basic stencil to no avail. This is one of the most basic of tools in Visio and is even easy to find in PowerPoint. A simple web search indicates that users have complained about this on OmniGraffle's own blog since 2006. Thanks, OmniGraffle for including a country map of Botswana but for leaving out a bracket. 1 star for the wasted time caused by the idiocy of this omission.

Haven't used OG since v2, but just downloaded and subsequently bought v4. So far, it seems to rock.

I own a copy of OmniGraffle 3. If I read the 'what's new' list I find mostly bug fixes, which should be made available also to old customers. Now, if I want a fix for the bugs I also need a new license. It looks like Microsoft has taught a good lesson to many small software houses. I have also learnt a lesson and I doubt I will buy anything more from a small software house.

I really don't like the new layout. When I first tried OmniGraffle 3 I instantly understood the app. Very intuitive. The same cannot be said with version 4. The new tools layout puzzled me for a long time until I quit the app. I will not upgrade! Sadly! Omnigraffle 3 was perfect, why this big change?!

For this version (4.0rc2) you need to enter a license key you can found here http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/4/

A great little versatile program to create flowcharts, org charts etc. Drag and drop intutitive and so easy to use! Highly recommended

I recommend everybody this product. the best feature of it is the easiness and the availability for Mac users. Comparing with other products for Mac, like ConceptDraw, this product is easier in usage and it's not so complicated. Although advanced user would probably look for something with advanced features like ConceptDraw V.

I am a network designer and I am amazed at how good this product is. After struggling with and cursing at Visio for years, Omnigraffle is refreshing. The fact that it can use Visio XML format is great. Now I can export to my struggling, cursing colleagues!

Omni really have done something great with the way they handle graphics. This is simply amazing and breathtaking. If there could be a way to close lines and create a polygone with it. Have Fixed size text zones with text wrapping around pictures! Why not have an internet image lookup system for the stencil, like in appleworks?! They have made the ground-up for a user-friendly page creation application!! (Maybe apple could copy them and do something great with appleworks...

I'm a programmer, and use OmniGraffle extensively to diagram object classes. I showed my boss what I had done with little ol' OG, and he cursed that he couldn't run it. (Linux user). Download a copy, and you'll curse that you don't own it. This is a flagship for products that do precisely what they are designed to do, and do it well. For counterpoint, look at Opera Communicator 7.5, or any Microsoft product. And while you're at the moni web site, grab a copy of OmniWeb 5. You'll wonder how you ever got along without browser workspaces.

I love omnigraffle - it is possibly my favourite piece of software - inline with photoshop. It allows me to very easily create DTP or diagrams quickly that look visually very impressive, with out needing time and experience like with indesign. I use it extensive for all my electronics diagramming as the lines "connect" to objects - so when an object moves all the joining lines move with it this is also very handy for producing mind maps - and virtually everything. It is extremely mac like and intuitive and functions more like the mac OS than any other prog i know (its only made for mac). I highly recommend you giv this a try - its still functional with out registering - you are just limited to 20 items per document fantastic program - thanks

Seems like a nice program - lots and lots of options. My only comment is that it seems very *slow*, even on my 667MHz G4 machine. That's not good.

buggy, buggy, buggy I have too often problems with import and export. Some graphics yield a white page when exported, some exported jpegs have a strange border line, importing jpegs with "place picture" does not work at all. If it worked properly it would be a great piece of software, but meanwhile I regret to have bought it.

There has to be invented a new verb to describe the efforts of omnigroup. expacially omnigraffle! I never had so much pleasure in working out mind maps, flow charts, schedules and many more. sixth star for compatibility with visio, seventh star for the low price for educational institutes! it's just - omni!

What's not to like about this wonderful piece of OS X software? Beautifully executed my only grievance is that OmniOutliner is not integrated into this program. I do not like that it is a separate application.

A replacement for MacFlow under OSX was my last missing peice to keep me out of classic. OmniGraffle is very intuitive, very OSX. Great for building ER charts and network topography charts.
