Agreed. I came here looking for a desktop version.
There used to be a desktop version years ago. I didn't run well. I guess they abandoned the idea.
100% agree - must have. My browser windows are already overloaded with tabs so I do not want one more tab for what feels like a separate app
I am a big fan of creating web app through chrome(or Edge) so I installed Lucichart as an app.
I have expected it will behave like a native app which likes many other website apps I have created (evernote slack etc).
However when I open a document from the Lucichart web app it jumps back to the browser deeming the web app useless. If this issue can be solved I won't require a native app at all.
use Vivaldi browser and then right click on the tab - it checks for desktop apps or will create a clean looking desktop app looking browser window for you to work in. Amazing feature on the browser which is chromium based and runs a treat with extensions from edge and playstore. As for LC - have moved on to bigger and brighter pastures.
I also have to adhere to regulations prohibiting cloud based applications and storage of sensitive diagrams. I would need a local client version to use Lucid. I will be in an air-gapped environment for those efforts.
Lucid is slowing down our machines so much that it becomes impossible to use. Many colleagues who are on older machines (we're a public sector org) are really struggling. Desktop app would help. Browser based is unwieldy.

Love lucidchart
but definitely would love this to be a standalone desktop application as well.
hope the team is still working towards this
RHK - USE Vivaldi browser
You can create a nice desktop app.
See file or menu and it's there - I don't have at moment but it's a beaut feature and you'll.get a desktop icon start menu or whatever and a nice clean working window

Like many others I too landed here in search of a desktop app for Lucid.
I use Miro desktop app its quite useful when you want to do few creative stuff on these platforms and have no distractions.
A big YES for the need of a desktop app. Would love to use Lucid on the desktop app for mac. Waiting to shift to the app from using on web browser.
Hi @krishna chethan v and others on this thread thank you for continuing this post and sharing your feedback. I have logged your request with our development team.
If you or any other users have additional details you'd like to add about this request please feel free to comment here and our team will share this with the developers for their consideration. Let us know if you have any questions!
LC is a great tool, but not having a desktop app for Mac? Without any sign of this being seriously considered, I cannot see how I would use this as a solution long-term for either personal or professional needs.

Please please give us a desktop app! :-)
I work in project design on international development projects, topics like health, environment, human rights, rule of law, education, in countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia etc. I need a programme which doesn’t require an internet connection, because in the remote areas of these countries, while the electricity may work well enough to run a computer and a projector, the internet is often unreliable.
Thank you @gregarmstrong and @richardgenett, for continuing this post and sharing your feedback!
Government projects require offline, secure documents. An offline desktop application with user chosen storage is a requirement for many projects.
Absolutely agree. I HATE using browser-based apps. For one thing, like the person above I often have to work offline. And I’d love to have this available on my ipad as well
@Jarrod Sears @Debby Roseman Thank you for taking time to comment - my sincere apologies for the frustration. We appreciate you sharing how this would make an impact in your work. At this time, I’m not able to comment on implementation of a desktop app, but wanted to assure you that we absolutely see and hear your feedback!
