UMLet is a lightweight UML tool designed for rapid diagram creation. Instead of presenting large property dialogs for every element, it uses a text-based property panel to alter labels, relationships and appearance.
It is suited particularly well to UML sketching rather than heavyweight model management. Alongside the desktop application, UMLet technology is available for browser-based use and integration with development environments.
This is free and open source software.
