Desktop App for Lucidchart

I have seen many people asking here and in other forums about Lucid Chart and a desktop app version. So far the responses have been but its browser based and therefore not needed.

No. That's incorrect.

People who use softwares tend to like having a clickable icon on the desktop of their computers - and secondly not have a cluttered environment with other distractions such as opened tabs pinging messages and popups and updates also distracting the user experience.

There are many BROWSER BASED platforms but they also have a dedicated desktop app that looks and feels like using offline software.

The user experience is much much cleaner as well.

Can Lucid just get their head around the concept that many want a dedicated desktop experience that can integrate into eg. google drive drop box or local machine? But sure have the functions interact with the web -

These are pretty much browsers in their own right - but for the points above - mentioned eg. clutter free dedicated etc - thats all you need.

Look at your competitors or other software's e.g.. Miro has a desktop app. so do many others.

I used to be able to use LucidChart via Mac’s web app functionality and have it on my dock as a standalone “app”. However something changed and now I’m unable to use the web app because it cannot get past the login flow without switching over to Safari. Even after completing the log in on safari and trying to open the page in the LucidChart web app, it continues to display the login page. Please fix this, it used to work

Totally Agree!

I used Webcatalog (https://desktop.webcatalog.io/en/download/windows) to install a desktop version of Lucid(charts).

i love desktop apps, reason is to maximize a workspaces for small screens such as 13inch laptops. desktop versions should be clean thin frames like a Macbook’s frameless window.

Thank you @khulan for adding your feedback to this thread!

Just another point for Miro.

Lucid has made a lot of progress by simply copying Miro — maybe they’ll do the same on this one.

Hi @Bryan S, thank you for the recommendations and sharing your use case. We appreciate your insight!
