Visual Nerve
A local-first workspace for diagrams, data, code and process simulation
A browser-based workspace for creating diagrams, analyzing data and code, simulating processes, and collaborating on visual models with local-first encryption.
Overview
The Visual Nerve homepage
Visual Nerve is a local-first visual workspace that runs in your browser, designed to help you understand connected systems and processes. You can build editable diagrams from ideas, data or code; explore CSV files and SQL queries as visual models; simulate work, capacity and economics; and collaborate on diagrams in real time with approved team members.
The workspace stores your diagrams locally in encrypted IndexedDB using AES-256-GCM encryption, with no mandatory account or cloud database required. It supports multiple diagram types including mind maps, flowcharts, HIPO, data flow diagrams, UML and BPMN notations. You can analyze up to 200,000 rows of CSV data, visualize SQL queries and source code across 50 programming languages, and model shared resources and queues using the Process Simulator.
Optional features include realtime collaboration through encrypted messaging (RFC 9420), time-series and signal analysis, local API and MCP integration for AI agents, and export to video presentations. The product is free to use with no account needed, and runs entirely in your browser with complete control over your data.

Buyer questions
What happens to my diagrams if I clear my browser data?
Diagrams are saved in your browser's local storage. Clearing site data will delete them, so you should export a full backup regularly before clearing your browser profile. There is no automatic cloud backup unless you enable optional realtime collaboration.
Can I share my diagram with others?
Yes, you can invite approved people to collaborate on a diagram in real time. The owner approves each device as either an Editor or Viewer, and all messages are encrypted using MLS (RFC 9420). Each person keeps their own local workspace; shared messages are relayed encrypted.
What data sources can I analyze with Visual Nerve?
You can import CSV, XLSX and JSON files for data analysis, visualize SQL SELECT queries and table definitions, import source code across 50 programming languages, and import existing draw.io and Visio diagrams. All analysis is performed locally in the browser.
How does the Process Simulator work?
The Process Simulator lets you model work arrivals, queues, shared resources and economics. You can run a baseline scenario, then compare what happens when you change capacity or demand. The same seeded simulation engine ensures reproducible results whether you run an animated simulation or a MAX run.
Can I use Visual Nerve on mobile?
Yes, Visual Nerve works on phones and tablets. On smaller screens, Projects opens the diagram list, Edit opens object properties, and Diagram actions brings tools into reach. However, large imports and detailed configuration are best done on desktop.
