Small related problem I am having, wondering if there’s an existing solution for it:

I draw a lot of software diagrams on Mac. Lots of rectangles, arrows, and free text. I’m wondering if there’s anything that clean up my freehand boxes and potentially even text into something a little nicer? I want the boxes to snap to a nicer rectangle, the arrows to look cleaner, and the text to be more legible.

I could send the whole thing into an LLM and maybe that would work, but I also fundamentally feel like that’s overkill and less reliable.

I tried Freeform which apparently has that functionality on iPad, but wouldn’t you know the one thing you cannot do with Freeform on a Mac? Draw free form.

Doesn’t seem to have free-form available either.
