What WireframeSketcher is

WireframeSketcher is a desktop application and Eclipse plug-in for creating wireframes, mockups, and prototypes for desktop, web, and mobile applications. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Designers, developers, and product managers can connect screens into interactive prototypes, present them full screen, and export clickable PDFs. A customizable control library, sketch or clean styles, grid snapping, smart guides, and keyboard shortcuts support screen design. Reusable components can be edited once and updated across screens that use them. Projects export to PDF, HTML, or PNG, and HTML can be shared through WireSketch.com. That sharing service requires no recipient account and supports viewing, prototype click-through, and feedback. Files use an open XML format compatible with standard Eclipse version-control tools. Paid licenses include one year of maintenance, email support, updates, and online sharing. A fully functional 14-day trial is available; saving afterward requires a license key. Pricing starts at $89, with no free plan.
