Desktop App for Lucidchart

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!

Hi i agree with above people. i work in the public sector and I cant load certain data into Lucid, while i like this program very much. 

Hi ​@dino, thank you for adding to this thread! We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products.

We encourage anyone else who’s interested in this to upvote this post and share any additional details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience. For more information about how we manage feedback in this community, please take a look at this post:

The large healthcare company I work for as a business analyst recently switched over to Lucid from Microsoft Visio. While there are many great features and improvements over Visio, the fact is that the Desktop Visio version offers significant features that provide significant workflow efficiency and reliability benefits: 

1. EFFICIENCY/REDUNDANCY: Being able to embed the Visio diagrams as an object into Word Documents allowed for a) portability, b) redundancy (I could save multiple versions of a Word doc, and therefore versions of the diagrams), c) very fast real-time creating, editing of diagrams which is very important if you have 50 people on a call, many who are highly-paid physicians or executive stakeholders. (note, I may have up to 30 or 40 diagrams in one Word document). I don’t have time to wait for a browser to open up, make edits, then manually sync the document to make sure it’s got the right diagram.    
2. RELIABILITY: I tried embedding links to the online versions of my Lucid diagrams into my Word documents. For some reason, these links appear to have gotten corrupted and the diagrams in the Word document got out of order and I ended up spending hours trying to troubleshoot and fix it. After this, I didn’t trust the links, and the workflow was too clunky in trying to sync the diagrams, so I converted these back to Visio and my tried-and-true workflow - which by the way, the export of Lucid documents doesn’t exactly create a one-to-one match with the original Visio files, so that took days to fix as well. I brought these issues up to some Lucid support people who were assigned to us, but I never heard back from them. 
3. SHARING AND FUTURE-PROOFING: Even though you can share the access to the online version of the diagrams, again, having the ability to embed the diagrams in a Word document ensures that anyone in the future, should the online version be taken down at some point, OR the owner forgot to open full access for access/editing by anybody in the future (which may result in unintended changes by unauthorized people). 

Please seriously consider a desktop version of Lucid that provides the embedding and editing of Lucid diagram objects into MS Word documents like Visio does. Please feel free to reach out to my email address if you have any questions.

Thanks, Bryan
