FAQ
Is the ecomap maker free?+
Yes — every signed-in user gets free ecomap canvases. Paid plans add more canvases, longer version history, Clinical Mode for HIPAA work, and unlimited AI generations.
What line styles does it support?+
Every Hartman-standard line: strong, normal, weak, stressful, stressful-and-strong, conflictual, and broken. Plus directional energy flow (toward-center / from-center / mutual / none).
Do I need to install anything?+
No. The ecomap maker runs entirely in your browser. Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPad, and Chromebook. A native desktop app is available on Unlimited plans.
Can I export to PDF?+
Yes. Export to PDF with the legend embedded, or share a published link with optional password protection. PDF export is page-frame accurate so it matches the on-screen preview.
How does this compare to Canva or Creately?+
Canva and Creately are general diagram tools — useful but not clinical. Our system categories (mental_health, recovery, healthcare, etc.) match what social workers actually document, and the AI knows clinical line-style conventions out of the box.
