Description

Shapes is a simple, elegant diagramming and vector graphics app. Shapes gives you all of the most important features you need in a diagramming and vector design tool without all the extra cruft, at an affordable price.

Shapes has support for "connected" lines. When resizing lines, the lines magnetically snap to other shapes. Then, as you drag the connected shape around the canvas, the connected lines adjust themselves as well.

Shapes offers "smart" paths which can be used for connecting boxes and shapes with smooth, curvy lines without requiring lots of fussy fiddling.

Shapes also includes a powerful Bézier Path tool for creating vector graphics of nearly any shape or description.

Additionally, Core Image Filters like "Pointillize", "Pixellate", "Gaussian Blur", "Sepia Tone", "Twirl Distort", and more can be combined and applied to any vector shape or image on the canvas.

Shapes is great for Programmers and Web Designers looking for a simple tool for rapidly designing flowcharts, laying out wireframes, or visualizing model relationships without getting lost in a sea of extraneous and confusing features.

Shapes is also a swell vector graphics tool for designing icons and other graphics using bézier paths.

Shapes lets you get to work quickly by giving you just the basic tools you need in a slick, single-window user interface. Shapes is a thoroughly Mac-native app offering QuickLook support, Fullscreen Mode, Version Browsing and iCloud Document Storage. Export your compositions in common image formats like SVG, PNG, JPEG, TIFF or multiple-page PDF.

Five stars PLUS

I love this program. It made diagramming flow charts so easy. And it was so inexpensive. Plus they keep updating it and making it better! I just willingly and unnecessarily bought a new copy just to support them. I am a software developer and I really appreciate this company (product). Seriously, it’s a great program, continues to be improved, and should cost more.

Still Buggy

I came back and bought this app (again), and it’s still buggy. The text boxes in certain circumstances will move as you change the font size (slide the size up and down and watch the textbox move across your screen). Also, can’t print to PDF. Gives the error “Error while printing.” The workaround is to choose “Mail PDF, then save the PDF from there.

Still waiting for the bugs to be worked out with this software, because it has potential to be really cool (and flexible), but it’s just not there yet.

I use Shapes everyday

Shapes has the right amount of easy to use and useful. I use Shape all the time for invention drawings and the like. It is easier than the other apps for illustrating and drawing.
