Although Microsoft has never released Visio for Mac, the good news is there are some superb alternatives in 2018 that can do everything Visio can on macOS. In some cases, we think the software featured here are even better than Microsoft’s product.

Another important point to remember is that none of these apps offer true Visio file compatibility without importing or exporting the Visio XML file back and forth. Until MS decides they want to do a Mac version of Visio, this is the best way to interoperate. I've used ConceptDraw V for a while now and it's not a bad app. Very easy to use and one that produces some nice output. And importing of Visio XML files is good and they also have a seperate program that can concert Visio VSD files to Visio XML for importing into ConceptDraw. As with OmniGraffle, the Pro version is needed for Visio importing.
One more comment on ConceptDraw PRO One more comment on ConceptDraw PRO. With the release of the most recent version of the product they now have introduced ConceptDraw Solution Park. On a regular basis they release new objects and templates and I just need to update my product to pick up the changes.
They recently introduced an extensive UML update, that we use frequently at work. We have a few PCs in our work environment and as we transition from a PC to a Mac we just move the license over to the newer platform. Makes it dead simple. I also go back to the old Shapeware days.
They had a great product, culminating in the excellent Visio Technical. Another product that Microsoft bought and slowly destroyed through the years. 2010 (in Fusion) is so sluggish as to be almost unusable if you work with anything with any complexity. I use it for Electrical One Lines. I am still looking for an alternative on the Mac side.
Yes I do many of them in AutoCad LT, but I can't do the nice snaps and links the same way. Of course 2010 doesn't handle them like the old Technical version did either. At this point it is just a Block Diagramming tool. It used to be sooooo much more!
I will certainly look at the ones mentioned, though Omnigraffle didn't work well for my use.
