About ExcalidrawZ
ExcalidrawZ wraps the Excalidraw hand-drawn canvas in an Apple-platform app. Drawings are kept as documents that can be grouped, sorted, synced through iCloud and restored from history checkpoints, and it opens .excalidraw files as well as Excalidraw PNG and SVG exports.
It also runs on iPad and iPhone. Mac builds are available from GitHub releases and the App Store; Excalidraw itself remains a separate project.
