BowTie Risk's AI workflow turns a single hazard description into a complete, structured bowtie — threats, controls, consequences and mitigations — ready to review and refine.
Equipment failure risk assessment — generated in under 60 seconds using the AI workflow.
Most legacy bowtie software comes with dense interfaces, per-seat pricing, sales calls and weeks of onboarding — whether you're a solo consultant or a risk team of twenty. BowTie Risk is built the way a good Apple app is built: clear enough that a site supervisor, a safety officer and a risk manager can all open it and understand what they're looking at, with minimal training.
Built for teams and procurement processes that need real answers, not a vague privacy policy.

Bowtie risk software is a digital tool for building bowtie diagrams — a visual risk assessment method that maps a hazard event from its causes on the left to its consequences on the right, with controls shown in between. Bowtie risk software replaces manual drawing tools and spreadsheets with structured, exportable diagrams, risk registers and reports.
Yes. BowTie Risk is free to download with no account required, and lets you create fully editable bowtie diagrams and export them to CSV, PDF and JPEG. A premium subscription unlocks unlimited diagrams, the customisable risk matrix, compliance reports and the AI workflow.
Nothing functionally — "bowtie risk software" and "bowtie app" describe the same category of tool. BowTie Risk is software in the traditional sense (it manages structured risk data, matrices and reports) delivered as a native app rather than a website, which is what lets it work fully offline.
Most cloud-based bowtie software does. BowTie Risk doesn't — it's designed to work fully offline, so you can build and edit diagrams in the field, on site, or anywhere without a connection. All data stays on your device.
Yes. BowTie Risk exports diagrams to PDF, JPEG and CSV, and can import structured data from CSV or text — including AI-generated content from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini using the built-in AI workflow.
No. Many teams keep their existing system of record for enterprise reporting and use BowTie Risk alongside it — as the fast way to actually build and share a diagram with the people who need to understand the risk, whether that's a toolbox talk, a new starter, or a board briefing. It works well as a lightweight companion, not just a replacement.
Yes — including risk teams. Most bowtie software comes with per-seat licensing, a sales process and a learning curve regardless of team size. BowTie Risk is designed with the same clarity as a well-made Apple app, so it works just as well for a solo consultant as it does for a risk team or across a whole workforce — a site supervisor, a safety officer and a risk manager can all open the same diagram and understand it intuitively, with minimal training. Download it, open it, and start your first diagram in seconds, with no account and no procurement process.
Yes. BowTie Risk's risk matrix, ratings and reporting structure align with ISO 31000 risk management principles, and the bowtie methodology itself is widely recognised under HSE, NEBOSH and OSHA frameworks.
