# ARCH App > ARCH is a local-first, browser-based architecture designer for creating cloud and network diagrams with drag-and-drop components, smart routing, and project workspaces. ARCH is a local-first architecture designer that runs entirely in the browser with no backend required. It is purpose-built for creating cloud infrastructure and network topology diagrams using a clean drag-and-drop interface. All data stays on the user's device, making it a privacy-friendly option for teams working with sensitive infrastructure designs. - **Drag-and-Drop Components** — *Place cloud and network components onto a canvas from a built-in library of infrastructure icons and shapes.* - **Smart Connection Routing** — *Connect components with orthogonal (right-angle) lines that automatically route around other elements, keeping diagrams clean and readable.* - **Multi-Project Workspaces** — *Organize diagrams across multiple project workspaces, practical for teams managing several environments or clients.* - **Native Export** — *Save and share diagrams in the .arch format for version control and collaboration.* - **Local-First, No Backend** — *No account creation, no login, no server dependency. The application loads and runs directly in the browser with all data stored on the user's device.* - **Offline Support** — *Works without an internet connection once loaded, making it usable during travel, in secure environments, or anywhere connectivity is limited.* ARCH is suited for DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and infrastructure teams who need to quickly sketch out AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise network layouts without the overhead of heavier enterprise diagramming tools. Its zero-setup approach makes it ideal for rapid prototyping during planning sessions or documentation sprints. ## Features - Drag-and-drop cloud architecture components - Drag-and-drop network topology components - Orthogonal smart connection routing - Multi-project workspaces - .arch file export - Local-first with no backend - Runs entirely in the browser - No account or login required - Offline support ## Platforms WEB ## Pricing Free ## Links - Website: https://archapp.design - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/arch-app
