Features

Why use this flowchart tool

Purpose-built for dependency diagrams

Auto layout

Arrange nodes automatically for a clean left‑to‑right or top‑to‑bottom flow. Adjust vertical and horizontal spacing anytime.

Typed nodes

Use Start, Process, Decision, and End nodes with distinct colors for instant readability.

Labeled arrows

Show clear connection labels (e.g., Yes/No, depends on) and control arrow size and line width for clarity.

Smart editing

Drag to reposition, zoom to inspect details, and snap to grid for tidy alignment.

Readable styling

Set font size, node size, and contrast-friendly palettes to improve accessibility.

Real-time preview

See updates instantly as you tweak direction, spacing, and labels—no guesswork.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a dependency diagram creator?

It’s a flowchart-focused tool that visualizes what tasks, components, or decisions depend on each other. You add nodes and labeled arrows, and the tool arranges the diagram for clarity.

How does the AI build my dependency flowchart?

Describe your system in plain language. The AI generates nodes, decisions, and connections, selects an orientation, shows labels, and proposes colors by node type. You can tweak everything instantly.

Can I change orientation and spacing?

Yes. Switch between left‑to‑right or top‑to‑bottom and fine‑tune vertical and horizontal spacing. Use auto-layout to reflow the diagram as you edit.

How do I label connections like Yes/No or Depends on?

Turn on connection labels and type short, descriptive text. Labels stay attached when you move nodes or re-run auto-layout.

Is this suitable for dependency maps and graphs?

Yes. Whether you call it a dependency map, dependency graph, or dependency flowchart, the tool supports the same clear, labeled flows with typed nodes and arrows.

Can I customize colors and sizes?

You can set colors for Start, Process, Decision, and End nodes, adjust font and node size, and control arrow size and line width for readability.

How do I export or embed my diagram?

Download PNG or SVG for documents and slides, copy a share link, or embed the live chart on your site to keep it updated.

Does it support zoom and dragging?

Yes. Enable drag to move nodes and zoom to inspect large diagrams. Grid lines help align elements neatly.

What about accessibility?

Use larger fonts, high-contrast palettes, and descriptive labels. These settings improve readability for more viewers.

Is my data private?

Your diagrams are yours. You choose what to share, and you can delete your work at any time.
