Use tool ↗About DGM
DGM is a web diagramming tool built by MKLabs, the South Korean company behind the UML modeler StarUML. It offers smart shape libraries for UML, ERD, and flowcharts, a sketch mode for freehand notes, real-time multiplayer editing, and a Vision AI feature that reads a diagram or sketch and generates matching code. Local files are free forever, including image export and access to public shape libraries; using DGM's cloud storage adds document limits and version history. A paid tier is announced as coming soon but is not yet purchasable.

Pros & cons of DGM
DGM is worth a look for anyone who wants a free diagramming canvas with real-time collaboration and doesn't mind that cloud storage is capped until a paid plan ships. The Vision AI code-generation feature is the differentiator versus older diagram tools, though it is unproven at scale since the product is still in beta.
Pros
- Free forever for local files with export to images
- Real-time multiplayer editing
- Vision AI turns sketches into starter code
- Built by the team behind an established UML tool
Cons
- Cloud storage is capped at 3 documents until a paid plan launches
- No pricing published yet for the announced paid tier
- Still labeled beta
Best for
- Developers who want to turn UML sketches into code stubs
- Teams that need a free real-time diagramming canvas
- Users who prefer local-first files over forced cloud storage
Not for
- Teams that need more than 3 cloud documents today
- Anyone requiring guaranteed long-term version history now
Watch out: Cloud documents are limited to 3 with 7 days of history, so back up anything important separately until a paid tier exists.
