Prefer upstream unless you need this exact baseline. This fork shows no unique functionality and is materially behind current upstream, so adopters should expect missing fixes and recent desktop/CLI work rather than a differentiated product.
Choose this fork only if you specifically need its older pinned state or local customization baseline. For most adopters, upstream is the better choice because this fork is stale and likely missing a large amount of recent fixes and features.

significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need an archived 2023 snapshot. This fork has no visible enhancements and is far behind upstream, so it is a weak adoption choice for normal users.
Brainhub24/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Do not adopt this as a feature-rich alternative to upstream. It appears to be an inactive fork with no added capabilities and a large upstream gap, so the main reason to use it would be as a private baseline you plan to maintain yourself.
basiralab/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this stale snapshot unchanged; this fork offers no visible enhancements and is far behind the official desktop build.
asummersgt/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless your goal is specifically to add or study DeepSource-style security analysis on an old snapshot. This fork is too stale for general adoption and offers only a narrow workflow addition.
neuim/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need the fork's installer/packaging changes. This fork appears best for distribution work, not for general end users who want the latest draw.io desktop capabilities.
actstudios3/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if you specifically want its older, customized desktop packaging and integration work. If you want a current, maintained draw.io desktop app, upstream is the better default; this fork looks too stale and diverged for low-risk adoption.
ruohong2018/drawio-desktop
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if you specifically need its legacy installer, update, or macOS packaging behavior. For almost everyone else, upstream is the better choice because this fork is stale, far behind, and mainly useful as an old distribution customization rather than an actively maintained alternative.
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need the March 1, 2026 snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is already behind current upstream work, so adopters inherit lag without any compensating benefit.
