After announcing the split of the KOffice developer community in 2010-06-11,[5] the Kivio code was imported into the newly formed Calligra project and picked up by a new maintainer who renamed the application to Calligra Flow. When KDE community had announced the start of Calligra Suite in 2010-12-06,[6][7] a flowchart programme named 'Flow' was part of the announcement.

Flow was shipped with the first Calligra Suite Snapshot Release.[8]

A stable release was made along with the rest of Calligra Suite 2.4.

Since Calligra 3.0, Flow was removed from Calligra Suite,[9] then was retired and replaced by Karbon in Calligra 3.2.0.[10]
