About ExcalidrawZ
ExcalidrawZ is a native Excalidraw client for macOS, iPadOS and iOS, powered by SwiftUI. It keeps the familiar Excalidraw canvas and adds native file management, iCloud sync, history, export, AI assistance and MCP integration around it.
It is for people who sketch diagrams and notes in Excalidraw and want those drawings to behave like real documents on their Apple devices, with options for locking sensitive files.
Highlights
- Organize drawings with groups, and open or edit .excalidraw, .excalidraw.png and .excalidraw.svg files
- Sync app-managed files across macOS, iPadOS and iOS with iCloud, with history checkpoints to restore earlier versions
- AI drawing assistant that can read, create and revise drawings, with proposal previews before changes are applied
- Insert LaTeX formulas and function graphs, and import PDFs or Mermaid diagrams
- Lock files with local authentication and encryption, and keep them hidden from AI
- Export images, editable Excalidraw files and PDF
