Gaphor is a modeling application for UML, SysML, RAAML and C4. It aims to make standards-based modeling approachable without reducing models to collections of unrelated drawings.
The software uses a UML 2 data model and supports both straightforward diagrams and larger structured models. Its interface keeps the emphasis on graphical modeling while offering facilities for documentation and reporting.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
