Akira, a desktop Linux app that was designed for elementary OS, but can be installed on basically any Linux distro via Flatpak.Penpot, which is a web application that can be self-hosted (and also offers a SaaS version).

There are two relatively new tools being developed as FOSS alternatives to Sketch/Figma (the current industry standards): You may use the proprietary web app Figma to upload the Sketch file and then export it as an SVG for use in Inkscape. Inkscape can import AI files, but, unfortunately, many kits are Sketch-only.

For web and mobile, you can find various open-source wireframe kits around the web.

For GNOME and elementary, I recommend starting with the svgs from their design repositories (links above).

This tool is fantastic for wireframing, prototyping, and collaboration. Adobe XD has skyrocketed into popularity since its initial release date in 2016, and with good reason. If you're looking for components to start with, it'll depend on the platform you're designing for. No matter what level of complexity you need for your wireframes, the best free Wireframe tools can save you time and stress. (Similarly, in the proprietary world, UX designers tend to use generic vector design tools like Sketch and Figma.) WireframeSketcher is a wireframing tool for creating wireframes, mockups and prototypes for desktop, web and mobile apps. While not primarily a wireframing tool, Inkscape tends to be used for wireframes and mockups in open-source circles- GNOME and elementary use it, for example. A nice thing about the HTML ('Single web page') export is that you can add hyperlinks that link to other mock-ups (included in the same Pencil document), i.e., you can simulate user interactions. Here’s a sample wireframe I made to get an idea of some of the included graphics:Įxport of wireframes is possible as PNG, HTML, PDF, SVG, and ODT. It ships with a few sets for different interfaces (including Web). The graphics are called 'Shape Collections' or 'stencils'. Sometimes, it gets kind of slow (e.g., when I rearrange graphics), but here my old PC might be to blame. It opens a new window (with no Firefox chrome, it got its own menu bar etc).

(**) The Firefox add-on hosted by Mozilla seems to be out of date (currently it’s version 1.0.6 from 2009), while the version hosted on Pencil’s download page seems to be the current one (currently version 2.0.5 from 2013).

a stand-alone tool for GNU/Linux (*), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X, and.It uses an image captioning architecture to generate its HTML markup from hand-drawn website wireframes. It is a deep learning model that takes hand-drawn web mockups and converts them into working HTML code. Pencil ( License: GPLv2) is a 'GUI prototyping tool' which is available as Open source wireframing tool written in typescript, react and redux. is another fork, 'in active development, and it is actually a rewrite of the old one'.

Update 2: commented that the fork is no longer maintained. Update: The original tool seems to be no longer in development (last release from 2013-09).
