Frame0

Frame0 is a powerful tool designed to help you create hand-drawn style wireframes quickly and easily. It transforms your ideas into visual prototypes for modern applications, making it a valuable asset for designers, developers, and anyone involved in the design process. With Frame0, you can focus on the core concepts of your design without getting bogged down by style and layout details. This allows you to express and communicate your ideas rapidly, fostering efficient collaboration and feedback.

Frame0 offers a stress-free hand-drawn style that encourages rapid ideation and collaboration. The sketchy appearance of the wireframes signals to stakeholders that this is a prototype, not a final design. This invites constructive feedback while avoiding premature discussions about visual details. The tool provides a comprehensive library of UI components for desktop, mobile, smartwatch, and web interfaces. These components include buttons, forms, navigation bars, cards, modals, and data visualizations, many of which feature adjustable states like switch on/off and progress bar values.

Frame0 also includes over 1,500 sketch-style icons transformed from the renowned Lucide icon library. These icons maintain visual consistency while preserving clarity and functionality, seamlessly integrating with Frame0's hand-drawn aesthetic. The tool allows you to create mirrors of frames, enabling you to create a master frame and reuse it in multiple places. When you update the master frame, all the mirrors will be updated, ensuring consistency across headers, navigation bars, and other reusable elements.

Frame0 can be integrated with AI services like Claude Desktop or Cursor through the publicly available Frame0 MCP server. This allows you to quickly generate great wireframes with simple prompts and even generate code from the created wireframes. Each shape can be linked to navigate to another page, creating a seamless user flow demonstration. You can present your entire wireframe project as an engaging slideshow presentation, allowing stakeholders to experience the user journey firsthand.

Frame0 comes with a set of pre-designed templates for various kinds of devices such as web, desktop, phone, tablet, smartwatch, and TV. These templates include common layouts and components optimized for the specific device's interface conventions, saving you time and effort. You can export a live prototype as a single HTML or PDF file, making it convenient to distribute the prototype to others and gather feedback easily. The exported files maintain all interactive features and can be viewed on any device without requiring Frame0 installation.

Frame0 includes a comprehensive set of libraries, each meticulously crafted to provide a consistent and cohesive design language. These libraries cover a wide range of components and diagrams, ensuring that your wireframes maintain visual harmony and adhere to best practices in user interface design. You can also create comprehensive diagrams including flowcharts, UML diagrams (Use Case, Class), and Entity-Relationship diagrams. This enables you to design user flows, information architecture, data models, and other essential project documentation all within a single file.

Frame0 is packed with features to help you create wireframes quickly and efficiently. It supports cross-platform use, allowing you to work on any platform, whether you're on Windows, macOS, or Linux. The tool also offers dark mode for those who prefer a darker interface, reducing eye strain during long coding sessions. You can easily lock or unlock shapes to prevent accidental modifications, ensuring your wireframe remains intact. Frame0 supports exporting your wireframes as images (PNG, SVG, JPEG, and WebP), making it easy to share and present your designs. Additionally, you can draw free-hand sketches with a pencil and highlighter, which is useful for ideation and annotations.
