PencilCase For Mac

Designed to eliminate the gap between the design and the development teams, PencilCase is a user-friendly yet powerful OS X application that makes it possible for you to built your very own apps for iPhone and iPad from the ground up without having to write a single line of code.

In a few words, PencilCase enables you to actually build your iOS applications from scratch, or to simply import previously created assets and work on them by adding behaviors, gestures, transitions, and animations.

Learning to use PencilCase is not hard at all, as it features a straightforward and intuitive user-interface with a top toolbar that enables you to simulate and publish your projects, as well as to quickly add text boxes, media, shapes, and particles, a project browser on the left side of the screen, and a properties panel in the right side.

This said, the application bundles a large collection of built-in elements stacked in categories like Cards, Media, Supplies and Messages. The Supplies category is especially useful, as it enables you to quickly add interesting and popular elements for your iOS app such as buttons, text boxes, tables, switches, sliders, scroll views, photo galleries, shapes, just to name a few.

Because these elements on their own are not enough for a modern day app, with the help of PencilCase’s Whens and Thens system, you can create and add complex animation and behaviors for all visual elements. With just a few mouse clicks, you can add custom animations that emulate magnets, gravity or other eye-pleasing motions.

PencilCase proposes a very interesting package and manages to streamline the process of building iOS apps, as it enables you to simply drag and drop elements and fiddle around with some of their components, as well as to add animations and complex behaviors without having to have the skills and credentials of an experienced mobile app developer.
