Our 2026 Product Roadmap

CorriDraw in 2026: Building What You Asked For

Every feature on this roadmap started as a request from someone using CorriDraw. Over the past year, we've collected thousands of pieces of feedback through our in-app survey, community Discord, GitHub issues, and direct conversations with teams who rely on CorriDraw daily. We scored every request by frequency, impact, and alignment with our mission of making visual collaboration accessible to everyone. The result is a 2026 roadmap that reflects what our users actually need, not what we think would be impressive on a changelog.

This post lays out our plans quarter by quarter. Some items are already shipped, others are in active development, and a few are still in the design phase. We'll update this post as priorities shift—because they will, and that's the point. A roadmap is a living document, not a contract.

Q1 2026: AI-Powered Diagramming (Shipped)

The two biggest features of Q1 are already in your hands. AI diagramming and the Mermaid converter both launched in February after an extensive beta period with over 400 testers.

AI Diagramming Assistant

The AI assistant lets you describe a diagram in plain language and get an editable result on your canvas within seconds. It handles flowcharts, architecture diagrams, org charts, mind maps, and sequence diagrams. The assistant understands context—you can say "add an error handling branch to the payment step" and it modifies the existing diagram rather than generating a new one. Early usage data shows that teams using the AI assistant create their initial diagram draft 3-4x faster than manual drawing, while still spending the same amount of time on refinement and collaboration. The speed gain is in the scaffolding, not the thinking.

Mermaid-to-CorriDraw Converter

Developers who maintain diagrams as Mermaid code in their repositories can now convert those text definitions into fully editable CorriDraw visuals. The converter supports flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, and Gantt charts. Converted diagrams get intelligent layout applied automatically, and you can export back to Mermaid after making visual edits. This bridges the gap between the "diagrams as code" workflow that developers prefer and the visual collaboration that cross-functional teams need.

Q2 2026: Mobile and Offline

Mobile support has been the single most requested feature category since CorriDraw launched. We've been deliberate about not rushing this—touch-based diagramming is a fundamentally different interaction model, and we wanted to get it right rather than ship a desktop UI crammed into a small screen.

Native Mobile App

The CorriDraw mobile app for iOS and Android enters public beta in May. It's not a responsive web wrapper—it's a purpose-built interface optimized for touch interaction. The canvas supports pinch-to-zoom, two-finger pan, and gesture-based shape creation. Tap a shape to select it, long-press to access the context menu, and use the simplified toolbar at the bottom of the screen for drawing tools. The mobile app syncs with your existing CorriDraw workspace, so diagrams you create or edit on your phone appear instantly on your desktop and vice versa.

We focused the mobile experience on three use cases: reviewing and annotating existing diagrams during meetings, quick sketching for capturing ideas on the go, and whiteboard-style brainstorming sessions where multiple people gather around a shared screen. Full-featured diagram construction is still better on a desktop, and we're not pretending otherwise.

Offline PWA Improvements

CorriDraw has had basic offline support through its Progressive Web App since last year, but the experience was limited to viewing cached diagrams. In Q2, we're upgrading offline mode to support full editing. Changes made offline are stored locally and sync automatically when you reconnect. Conflict resolution uses operational transformation—the same technology that powers our real-time collaboration—so simultaneous offline edits from multiple team members merge cleanly in most cases. When automatic merging isn't possible, you'll see a visual diff and choose which version to keep.

Q3 2026: Plugin System and Integrations

The plugin system is the most architecturally ambitious project on this roadmap. It's also the one we're most excited about, because it transforms CorriDraw from a standalone tool into a platform that adapts to your workflow.

Plugin Architecture

Third-party developers will be able to extend CorriDraw with custom tools, shape libraries, export formats, and canvas behaviors. Plugins run in a sandboxed environment with access to a documented API for manipulating canvas elements, responding to user actions, and adding UI panels. We're designing the plugin API based on feedback from teams who've told us exactly what they wish they could customize—things like auto-generating diagrams from live data sources, enforcing company style guides on shape colors and fonts, and exporting to proprietary documentation formats.

The plugin SDK will ship with TypeScript types, a local development server with hot reloading, and a test harness for simulating canvas interactions. We want plugin development to feel as smooth as building a modern web application, not like wrestling with an undocumented extension system.

Notion, Jira, and Confluence Integrations

Alongside the plugin system, we're building first-party integrations for the three tools that appeared most often in our "what do you use alongside CorriDraw?" survey. The Notion integration embeds live CorriDraw canvases inside Notion pages—not static images, but interactive diagrams that update in real time. The Jira integration lets you attach CorriDraw diagrams to tickets and automatically generates visual representations of issue relationships and sprint workflows. The Confluence integration works similarly to Notion, embedding live canvases in wiki pages with full editing capabilities inline.

These integrations use the same plugin API that third-party developers will have access to, which means they serve double duty as reference implementations for plugin authors.

Q4 2026: Enterprise Deployment

Large organizations have been asking for on-premise deployment since our earliest enterprise pilots. Regulated industries—healthcare, finance, government—often cannot send diagram data to external servers, regardless of encryption. Q4 addresses this head-on.

On-Premise Deployment (Enterprise)

For Enterprise customers, CorriDraw will be available as a managed on-premise deployment that runs entirely within your organization's infrastructure. Our solutions team installs and configures the stack for you — including Kubernetes-ready artifacts, Helm charts, and support for air-gapped networks — with a documented SLA, dedicated onboarding, and a named customer success contact. On-premise includes the full feature set: real-time collaboration, AI diagramming (with the option to route to your own LLM endpoint), and all shape libraries. Pricing is annual and negotiated per-deployment; contact our sales team for details.

Advanced Admin Controls

Enterprise administrators will get a dedicated control panel for managing users, teams, and permissions at scale. This includes SSO integration via SAML 2.0 and OIDC, role-based access control with custom roles, audit logging for compliance requirements, data retention policies, and the ability to restrict which features and integrations are available to different user groups. We've worked closely with IT administrators at several large organizations to ensure the admin experience covers real governance requirements rather than a checkbox list of security theater.

How Your Feedback Shaped This Roadmap

We want to be transparent about how we prioritized. Every quarter, we rank feature requests by a weighted score that combines three factors: how many unique users or organizations requested the feature, the estimated impact on daily workflows (measured through follow-up interviews with requesters), and the technical feasibility within the quarter. Features that score high on demand and impact but require significant infrastructure work—like the plugin system—get scheduled in later quarters to allow proper design time.

Some notable decisions shaped by feedback:

• Mobile was originally planned for Q1 but pushed to Q2 after beta testers told us the touch interaction model needed more iteration. We'd rather delay than ship something frustrating.
• The plugin system jumped from a vague "future consideration" to a Q3 commitment after we received over 200 requests specifically asking for custom integrations with internal tools.
• On-premise deployment moved up from a 2027 plan to Q4 2026 because three large enterprise prospects told us it was a hard blocker for adoption. When the same blocker appears independently from multiple organizations, that's a signal.
• AI diagramming was prioritized for Q1 based on survey data showing that initial diagram creation was the biggest time sink for 68% of respondents.

Keep the feedback coming. The most impactful suggestions are specific: describe the problem you're facing, not just the feature you want. "I waste 20 minutes reformatting diagrams after every Jira import" tells us more than "add better Jira support." Use the feedback button in the app, post in our Discord, or email roadmap@corridraw.com directly.

This roadmap is ambitious but achievable. We've already shipped Q1, Q2 is in active development with a strong beta cohort, and Q3 and Q4 designs are underway. We'll publish quarterly updates on this blog as each milestone lands. Thank you for building with us—CorriDraw is shaped by the people who use it, and that's exactly how it should be.
