One way would be to use emacs’ artist-mode to draw ascii lines and boxes then use ditaa[1] to transform them into images. It’s not a pretty packaged GUI app but it’s certainly an option [1] https://ditaa.sourceforge.net/ https://ditaa.sourceforge.net/

emacs artist mode also suitable for something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JZ6ljIRGus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JZ6ljIRGus

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver). While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

  DrawIO feature to save editable PNGs (embedded diagram source code) is absolutely magical. The tool is quite basic, until you realize, you can create reusable blocks (in scratchpad) with predifened style. From that point on you just publish editable PNGs to git and draw them rather quickly by dropping in predefined blocks.

I've been using PlantUML, having come from using GraphViz. I can't tell is has any relation to this. I use it to generate SVGs in Maven documentation site builds.
