ProtoPie For Mac

ProtoPie is intended to give designers the possibility to create prototypes for mobile applications even if they lack programming knowledge.

The ProtoPie app packs an extensive collection of editing tools, works with layers, and allows you to interact with the animations using various types of gestures.

Within the ProtoPie main window you get to keep track of all the layers associated with the project, regardless of their type: image, video, rectangle, oval, or container. The layers can be arranged hierarchically, and you get to rearrange them with simple drag and drop movements.

ProtoPie allows you to employ custom size layouts for your projects, but also integrates certain device presets to streamline the configuration process: iPhone 5 / SE, iPhone 6 / 6S, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 7, Nexus, Nexus 6, Galaxy S6 / S7, and Galaxy Note 5.

The best part is that you can also configure responses based on user interactions, which means that you get to present how the app is supposed to work even if there is no code running behind it.

ProtoPie comes with Preview window where you get to see how the app will look like on the mobile device, but you can also use the generated QR code to send the prototype to an actual mobile device.

Note that you need to scan the code via the ProtoPie Player apps that can be downloaded to your mobile devices via Google Play or from the App Store.

Working with ProtoPie proves to be quite intuitive, yet the developers also provide an extensive documentation that can be accessed online. This way you can learn more about working with layers, regardless of their type, configuring containers, paging, using triggers, and so on.

ProtoPie offers graphic designers the possibility to experiment with different models and approaches when it comes to building mobile apps. The environment allows you to work with layers and set interaction and response patterns without worrying about the code behind it.
