Map library · AI assistantWardley · EDGY · Cynefin · BPMN · DDD

Document your strategies, map by map.

labre brings your strategic thinking into one space: a whiteboard and a document for the same object — and an assistant that draws with you. Sketch it yourself, or describe it and watch the map take shape.

The frameworks

Five notations, one editor

labre speaks the visual languages you already use. Pick a framework and start mapping — each one is a first-class citizen of the canvas.

What labre does

Four moves, one space

A library for strategic documentation — neither a wiki nor a project manager. Draw, ask, document, find, without switching tools.

Draw

Maps, models and processes on an infinite whiteboard. Every component becomes a documentable card, one click away from the canvas.

Ask

Describe the map you need — the assistant draws it on the whiteboard, shape by shape, and remembers the conversation.

Document

The same map in Document mode: a rich editor, an always-visible property bar, custom fields at will. Properties are content, not a setting.

Find

A faceted collection, free nesting at any depth, and ⌘K search to find any map by name or facet. Nothing gets lost.

The second drawing mode

Describe it. The labre draws it.

The assistant works on the same whiteboard as you: it places shapes, writes labels, links components — real elements you can edit, not a picture. Scoped to your maps, nothing else.

Draws on the canvas.
Its tools create real shapes and text on the whiteboard — everything stays editable by hand.
Remembers the thread.
Each map keeps its conversation: refine, correct, pick up where you left off.
One shortcut away.
⌘K searches your library or asks the assistant — filter maps or start drawing from the same box.

Draw a value chain for online payments.

Here is a first map: customer, checkout, gateway, fraud check. Want the fraud check pushed toward commodity?

Yes — and add a settlement component.

One object, two faces

A canvas to think, a document to explain.

Switch from one face to the other without ever duplicating: the map you draw and the text that tells its story are one and the same.

Canvas.
Infinite whiteboard, linked nodes, evolution / value axes — entry friction tends to zero.
Document.
A rich text editor to describe choices and bets. Everything stays in sync.
Sharing.
Publish read-only via a simple link.

Built in the open

An open editor at the core

Every framework labre draws comes from an open-source editor library — a fork of BlockSuite. The community that maps strategy doesn't just use it; it shapes the notations themselves.

The editor library

MPL-2.0

Every framework on the canvas is a block in our open editor library — a fork of BlockSuite, under MPL-2.0. Add a new notation, fix a behaviour or extend an existing one by pull request, reviewed in the open.
