Overview

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.

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of DGM

medium confidence

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.
