Design schematics & wiring harnesses in your browser

Skematiq is browser-based CAD for the electrical side of robots & machines — no install. Instead of scattering it across CAD files, spreadsheets and PDFs, you keep it all in one connected project: block diagrams, pin-to-pin schematics (the label you type becomes the net), cable harnesses with auto connector-pinout tables, and a to-scale panel layout — all kept in sync. A rule check flags conflicts, and wiring lists, BOM and a PDF drawing set fall out at the end. Free to start.
Hey Product Hunt!
I design electrical systems for machines and robots, and the wiring itself was rarely the hard part — keeping it all organized and consistent was. The block diagram in one file, the schematic in another, the harness list in a spreadsheet, the BOM somewhere else… and they'd drift out of sync the moment anything changed. The "proper" tools (Altium, EPLAN) are heavy, expensive and overkill when you just need a machine wired correctly; spreadsheets and generic diagram apps fall apart the moment it gets real.
So I built Skematiq: browser-based CAD where the whole electrical side lives in one connected project. You sketch block diagrams, draw schematics (the label you type becomes the net), and group wires into harnesses that auto-generate connector pinout tables — and it all stays in sync, so changing one wire updates the harness table, netlist and BOM. When you're ready it exports the wiring list, per-harness sheets, a BOM and a full PDF drawing set — the stuff the assembler needs — but that's just the tail end of keeping everything tidy.
Runs entirely in the browser, no install, free to start.
I'd love your feedback — especially from anyone who's wired a machine and hated keeping the paperwork straight. What should it do next?
the sync between block diagram, schematic, harness table and BOM is the actual product here, everything else is just export formatting. the question that matters for a team adopting this over Altium/EPLAN long term - if a project outgrows Skematiq or a customer demands Altium-native files, is there a real export path, or is a project effectively locked in once it's built here and you'd be redrawing from scratch if you ever needed to leave
@galdayan
That is a very valuable question; my goal in creating this app was to bring my entire design process onto a single platform. I am a robot designer, and this app includes the features I need and is constantly evolving. However, as things stand, there is indeed no simple way to transfer your completed design from this app to other applications. That said, I am working on making these export files clean, sufficient, and compatible for all clients. Thank you for your feedback.
@batuhan_deveci appreciate the honest answer, a lot of makers would've just said "export is on the roadmap" and left it there. worth putting that lock-in caveat somewhere visible on the pricing/features page too, since it's the kind of thing a team lead needs to know before committing a real project to it, not something they should have to ask about in the comments first
@galdayan I absolutely agree; thank you for your valuable contributions.
Neat idea! I'm more of a mechanical guy but I've tinkered around with a Raspberry Pi to connect to old alarm clock and this would've been helpful for that. Good luck!
@mjohnson42 Thank you, and I wish you success in your work.
