About ProtoPie
ProtoPie is a prototyping tool for building interactions that go beyond simple click-through screens. It is used for apps, websites and products that need motion, logic or hardware-based input.
What it does
ProtoPie lets designers add logic, variables and sensor-style inputs to a prototype, so a screen can respond in more realistic ways. You can import designs from other design tools, build an interaction and test it on a range of devices. Teams also use it to hand off specs for the interactions they have built.
Key features
- Logic and variables for conditional interactions
- Import designs from other design tools
- Test prototypes on phones, tablets and other devices
- Share specs for interactions with developers
Who it's for
ProtoPie suits interaction designers, motion designers and product teams who need prototypes that feel close to the final product. It is also used for automotive, TV and wearable interfaces, according to the examples on the site.
Pricing and good to know
The site invites visitors to start for free and also offers a demo request for larger teams. Some device testing is linked to a separate connect feature. Plans and limits are on the pricing page, so check them before you commit to a team setup.
Highlights
