A self-hosted Design & Creative app you can run on your own server.

The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 8.1K stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 8, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Creative tools vary in how much hardware they use, so test with a real project file. Browser-based design tools have closed the gap with desktop software, and self-hosting means your work files never sit on someone else's server.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, draw.io is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
