isketch vs Eraser
Different tools for different jobs. Here is where Eraser is the better choice, and where isketch adds something it does not.
Where Eraser is better
- Diagram-as-code across many syntaxes, with a polished editor and diagrams that look sharp in docs.
- A whole suite around engineering docs: OpenAPI files, release notes, an AI to draft diagrams.
- A company behind it, shipping fast.
Where isketch adds something different
isketch is a sketchpad whose output is agent-ready: the diagram is text a coding agent reads exactly, and can edit back.
- Open and local: your diagrams are `.flow` files in your repo, not documents in a service. A CLI renders them with no browser, and no account is needed.
- The MCP server works on your folder as it is, so the agent you already run edits the diagrams next to the code they describe.
- Sketch when you want to think, structure when you want to build: one diagram, both surfaces.
Try both
Eraser is good at what it does, and you can bring your Eraser diagrams along: the converters run in your browser.
