PUBLIC BETA · FREE

See how everything connects.

Silkscreen maps your IT and operational landscape on one canvas: applications, interfaces, flows and the buses between them. Select a system and its connections light up. Then play the night back on the timeline to see when every job runs and every hand-off lands.

Timeline

The map shows what connects. The timeline shows when it flows.

Give each system its jobs and each connector its timing, then play the night back. Every system gets a lane, like tracks in a video editor. Running jobs glow on the map, messages in flight light up their connectors, and a late batch shows what it holds up downstream.

  • Step through it like a runbook. Playback moves job by job and hand-off by hand-off, or runs the clock at 15 minutes, 1 hour or 3 hours a second.
  • Follow one flow. Limit playback to a single journey, such as a client margin call, and see only its steps.
  • Delays ripple. A job can wait for its inputs, so moving one batch shows what it holds up.
  • Timing checks. Late hand-offs, missed cut-offs and tight buffers show up in Validate.
  • Bring your schedule. Import and export jobs and messages as CSV or Excel.

Why Silkscreen

Built for landscapes, not just drawings.

General diagram tools draw boxes and lines. Silkscreen knows what a system, an interface and a flow are, so a map with two hundred systems still reads at a glance.

Select a system, see its connections
Call-outs light up only the connections of the shape you select. Everything else steps back, so you can follow one system through the whole estate.
Clean routing
Orthogonal connectors with rounded corners, line jumps where routes cross, and snapping to a 24 px grid. Tidy without hand-nudging.
Pins on every shape
Name the points where systems connect, with a side, direction and protocol, and attach connectors where they belong rather than to the four sides of a box.
Flows and buses
Name a business journey that runs across many interfaces, such as trade capture and booking, and model the shared backbones that systems tap into.
A Key built from your page
The Key lists only the connector kinds, statuses and shape types on the page you are looking at. Click a row to show only that kind.
Validate before you share
The Validate view flags loose ends, missing protocols and timing problems, and says how to fix each one.
Library and sharing

Keep your work in a Library. Share it as a page anyone can open.

Library

Folders, files and pages, with live thumbnails, search and a bin that keeps deleted files for 30 days. Everything is saved in your browser; download a library backup whenever you like.

Interactive page export

Export one self-contained HTML file that opens in any browser, with call-outs, flows, search, the Key and timeline playback. Attach it to an e-mail, put it on SharePoint or a Confluence page. Nobody needs an account to view it.

How it works

From blank canvas to a map you can follow.

  1. 01

    Place your systems

    Start from a template or a blank page and drag in applications, databases, vendors, regulators and batch jobs from the shape library.

  2. 02

    Connect them

    Draw connectors, name the pins, group interfaces into flows and add timing where it matters.

  3. 03

    Follow the flow

    Select anything to light up what it touches, play the timeline, then validate and share the interactive page.

Teams use it for

Privacy

Your landscape stays with you.

Silkscreen has no server holding your diagrams, so there is nothing of yours for us to store, see or lose. Read the privacy notice.

Diagrams stay on your device
Silkscreen runs in your browser and saves there. Nothing you draw is sent to us, and there is no account.
Nothing can leave the page
The app ships with a security policy that blocks every outgoing connection. Your security team can check it in the browser's developer tools.
Works fully offline
Download the single file and run it with no internet connection at all.
What this website collects
Our host keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security. If you join the waitlist, we keep your e-mail address only to tell you about Pro. No cookies, no analytics.
Keep a backup
Clearing your browser data deletes what is stored there, and browsers hold about 5 MB per site. Download a library backup regularly.

PLANNED

Timeline, next steps

Import your real schedule from Control-M or Autosys instead of retyping it. Delay a batch in what-if mode and compare against the baseline. See the critical path, add holiday calendars and a second time-zone ruler, and compare planned runs with actual ones.

Work together

Cloud saving, share links that viewers open for free, team libraries of shared systems and interfaces, and a PowerPoint export with one slide per page or flow.

Pricing

Free while in beta.

Everything in the app today is free. Paid plans add what needs a server: saving, sharing and working as a team.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Silkscreen free?

Yes. During the beta everything is free. When paid plans arrive, the features you use today stay free.

Where are my diagrams stored?

In the Library, in your own browser, on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us. Clearing your browser data deletes it, so download a library backup to keep a copy.

How do I share a diagram?

Export the interactive page: one HTML file that opens in any browser, with call-outs, flows and timeline playback. To hand over an editable file, send the JSON backup to a colleague who uses Silkscreen. Pictures, draw.io, Excel and CSV are there too.

Can we edit the same file together?

Not yet. Pass the JSON backup back and forth and keep one master copy. Shared editing comes with Pro.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Download Silkscreen as a single file and open it in any modern browser, with no internet connection needed.

Can I bring my batch schedule?

Yes. The timeline imports and exports jobs and messages as CSV or Excel, matching systems and connectors by name. Direct imports from schedulers such as Control-M and Autosys are on the roadmap.

How do I give feedback?

E-mail feedback@silkscreen.studio. The beta is shaped by what you tell us.

Every system. Every connection. One map.

Open the beta now, or join the Pro waitlist to hear when it is ready.
