Wireflow

What Wireflow is

Wireflow is a browser-based tool for creating user flow prototypes, and it requires no installation. Its library includes more than 100 custom-built graphics and cards for web elements, interactions, and use cases. Users can invite coworkers to design flows together in real time, with built-in live chat for teammates. Project permissions let users control access and choose whether a project is public or private. The editor autosaves a flow in the browser and provides an Export JSON action. The site offers 102 flows in 10 categories. Wireflow is MIT licensed and developed in the open; the project can be forked or self-hosted. Its README documents local development using yarn and Docker Compose. The listed free plan is free forever and does not require sign-up. It includes the graphics and cards, real-time collaboration, permissions, and live chat. The GitHub README names The Vanila Team and Automatio AI as makers of the alpha version.
