macgram: a live Merise/UML editor
A free browser and desktop editor for drawing Merise/UML data models, with the relational model generated as you work.
- For
- Merise/UML learners and data-modeling teams
- Worth noticing
- Its line-oriented JSON format is described as git-friendly, and it can import Looping .loo files.
Field notes
The editor stores diagrams as readable .mcd.json files, with one element per line; the page says this keeps Git diffs clean and merges conflict-free. It can import Looping .loo files, translating their rules into notes, and offers PNG/SVG export. Keyboard shortcuts cover tools and actions such as search, duplicate, and undo. The desktop download section lists Windows 10/11 and several Linux package formats; account-based online storage and sharing are still described as forthcoming.
