| App Available? | Browser-based. The current getting-started guide says individual visual generation requires a computer; mobile users can view existing work and create/edit presentations. A native mobile or desktop application, or future app-release plan, was not verified. |
Output and data limits: Review generated diagrams before publication. Napkin’s terms allow use of generated output subject to their conditions, but do not grant separate rights to extract its individual icons, templates or other components. They do not guarantee unique output. Check your data-sharing settings and rights to any imported material.
