What YourERD is

YourERD is a browser-based tool for drawing entity-relationship diagrams. When a relationship is created, it adds a foreign-key column based on the parent entity’s primary key. The editor supports Barker notation, including identifying, non-identifying, and optional relationships, with one-to-one and one-to-many cardinalities. Tables and columns can have physical and logical names, and logical names can appear as comments in generated DDL. Diagrams can be exported as MySQL 8 DDL, PNG, or JSON; MySQL 8 is the listed DDL target. Drawing and exporting do not require an account. Signing in enables cloud storage and share links, where visitors can see updates in real time but only the owner can edit. An MCP server connects to Claude Code to create diagrams from natural-language descriptions. The Free plan is free and displays ads on the site. The maker says the tool was designed in part for data-modelling practices that use Barker notation and pair technical names with human-readable ones. The privacy policy says diagrams are not sent to the server when used without signing in.

Good

  • Drawing and exporting require no account.
  • Relationships automatically add foreign-key columns.
  • Exports include MySQL 8 DDL, PNG, and JSON.
  • Share links show updates in real time.
  • Unsigned-in diagrams are not sent to the server.

Who it suits

YourERD suits people drawing entity-relationship diagrams in a browser, especially those using Barker notation or both technical and human-readable names. It can also suit users who need MySQL 8 DDL, PNG, or JSON exports.

Verdict

YourERD offers browser-based diagramming with Barker notation, automatic foreign keys, and several export formats. Its database export target is limited to MySQL 8, and shared diagrams remain owner-editable only.
