Layers Flow
A diagram is worth a thousand words
The whole process on one canvas: shapes, labelled arrows and notes right beside them. Drag from the edge of a shape and the arrow is in place.
No card · free for up to 20 people
The pain
How processes usually get described
Without a diagram
- ✗The process is written up in chat paragraphs, and the “if… then…” branches get lost
- ✗The diagram lives as an image: every edit is a new file
- ✗Nobody remembers which version is the latest
- ✗The only way to show a client is a file attachment
01 · Draw
A process on the canvas in ten minutes
Shapes, arrows and labels. The canvas is infinite, so there’s room for any process.
Shapes
Everything you need in one menu
Shapes and lines: lines, arrows, five shapes and ten colors. Pick the diamond, it lands on the canvas — type in your question.
Arrows
An arrow pulls from the edge of a shape
Drag from the edge of one shape to another and a line appears. On its toolbar, add an arrowhead and a label: Yes, No or “If late”.
02 · Add more
More than boxes on the canvas
Text, images, tables, emojis, service logos and a pen — right next to the process.
Text
A warning on the diagram itself
The Text tool puts an alert callout on the canvas: red, with an exclamation mark. Type the condition — “Refunds on request” — and place it next to the right step.
On the canvas
Images, tables, emojis and a pen
Images
An image sits on the canvas next to its step: the banner goes with Banner mockup.
Table
A table as a block on the canvas: channel, date, owner.
Emojis and icons
Two tabs, emojis and icons, with search.
Pen
Circle what matters by hand — in red or another color.
Service logos
Discord, GitHub, Instagram, LinkedIn and more — with search.
Eraser
The eraser wipes out what you don’t need in one pass.
03 · Tidy up
Straight lines without a ruler
Guides, groups, alignment and layers. The diagram stays readable even with many steps.
Guides
A shape lines up on its own
Drag a shape and blue guides appear, so it snaps into line with its neighbor.
Groups
Several steps, one group
Drag a frame around several shapes and group them. You can give the group a name, like Payment.
Order
Alignment, layers, grid and undo
Alignment
Select several shapes and align them by an edge or the center.
Layers
Bring to front, send to back, forward or backward.
Dot grid
Show the grid and turn on snapping to it.
Undo
Changed your mind? One button takes you a step back.
04 · Show it
One link instead of a screenshot
A preview for viewing, a public link with a PIN code, the flow right on a page, and PNG when you need a file.
Preview
Just the diagram, as readers will see it
In Preview the screen shows only the diagram, with no editing tools. Zoom in and move around, then go back to editing with the red Close preview button.
Publishing
Public link and PIN code
Share → Publish, and anyone with the link can open the flow. Need protection? Set a five-digit PIN code.
For guests
No PIN code, just a lock
A guest sees Access secured and five boxes for the code. The right PIN opens the flow, with no editing tools.
On a page
The flow right inside a page
Insert a published flow into a page: readers see it inside the text without leaving the page.
05 · Keep
A flow remembers every save
Version history with author and time, shared and private flows, a copy in one click.
Version history
Every save is a version
Every save lands in the version history: each version shows its date, time and author.
Cloud or your own server
Free for up to 20 people. Your own server when you want it
In the cloud: no card, no time limit. Need full control over your data? Deploy Layers yourself: the same flows, the same pages and projects.
One workspace
Flow is just the start
Is it free?
Yes: in the cloud it’s free for up to 20 people, no card. On your own server it runs under a license — see pricing.
What can I draw?
Shapes (rectangle, circle, diamond, triangle, star), lines and labelled arrows, text with lists and callouts, tables and columns, images, emojis, service logos and freehand drawing.
Can I show a flow to a client?
Yes: Share → Publish, and anyone with the link can open it. You can set a PIN code, and without it the flow won’t open.
Can I insert a flow into a page?
Yes, once it’s published: the page shows it right in the text. An unpublished flow appears as a link card.
Can I go back to an old version?
Yes: “…” → Version History. Pick a version and click Restore or Duplicate.
Can I export a flow as an image?
Yes, as PNG: “…” → Export to PNG.
