Years ago I made a simple one in OpenOffice (now LibreOffice) Draw for a project.

I have often just used Powerpoint. For a fully FREE solution, you could try Google Drawing - https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308827?hl=en

Back a few years ago when I needed to do a state flow diagram, I used Lucidchart which is free, it is a great program but after spending hours on the diagram I needed to add another page to continue my diagrams; I was informed that the free version was limited to one page. I went on ebay and bought a key for Visio immediately.

When things get complex, a good flowchart or similar diagram will let you see the forest from the trees.

I workout to get big so I can pickup bricks and ****.

You can also use draw.io to draw flowcharts.

I'd use my template, but I see they are now the subject of museums.

Draw.io or Whimsical - I use these for work to do flow diagrams and they're very fit for purpose.

MyDraw or Visio are both very capable tools for drawing flowcharts, although neither is free. But you might have a licence for Visio already with certain versions of Microsoft Office, and there are several ways to get MyDraw free listed on their web site - in fact my copy was from a free giveaway.
