    Collaborate live with engineers, product managers, and architects to map out new features, refactor legacy schemas, or define event models - right on the canvas.


  2. Internal Wiki
    Replace your static whiteboard with an interactive schema where everyone can contribute. Perfect for brainstorming database structure in real time.

How It Works

How It Works

Open or create a new diagram in ChartDB

  1. Share a Diagram with Your Team
    Invite teammates by email or share a team-wide link. All members on the Team plan (Growth and above) can collaborate in real time.


  2. Edit Together in Real-Time
    As soon as someone joins, you'll see their avatar at the top of the canvas. Every change - moving a table, editing a column, adding a note - is reflected instantly for everyone.


  3. See Cursors and Selections Live

    Each teammate gets a uniquely colored cursor and selection box. This makes it easy to follow who's doing what, just like in Figma or Google Docs.


  4. Auto-Save Ensures Nothing’s Lost

    Every change is saved instantly, so the team can focus on designing, reviewing, or planning—no save buttons or version confusion.


Included in the Team Plan:
Real-time collaboration is available for all teams on the Growth plan or higher.
