Generate interactive, animated interface designs for your apps to test out new ideas or create entire prototypes, with this easy-to-use tool

If you are an app designer, you probably get bombarded with new ideas constantly, most of which never see the light of day. Of course, you cannot possibly test all of them, but it can be useful to have access to a tool that allows you to experiment with various concepts and interface designs.

Principle is an intuitive macOS app created for this particular purpose. It can help you generate animated, interactive designs, with customizable layouts and transitions. The results can be recorded and shared with others or viewed directly on your mobile device.

Design your app’s interface by adding objects and setting up interactions and animations

Your project is split into multiple artboards, each containing a certain number of layers. You can import image files and insert customizable objects or text items.

Interactions are handled with the use of drivers and animations, all of which are displayed in an accessible timeline view, making it simple to alter their properties and get an overall idea of the state of your project.

Offers a live preview window and can record animations

You can get an idea of what the finished app would look like and interact with your design at any time.

Of course, you will definitely want to show the end result to others, and Principle provides a simple way to do that. You can record any actions performed in the preview window and export the captured content to QuickTime MOV videos or GIF animations.

When you are designing a new app, any distractions can reduce your productivity and prevent you from staying focused on your project. Principle displays only the functions that are absolutely necessary in the main window, dedicating as much space as possible to the canvas where your designs are placed.

Minimalistic interface that does away with any unwanted elements

If you are not using a tabled or trackpad, navigating through the various artbooks may be more difficult, but it is made easier with the many keyboard shortcuts detailed on the developer’s homepage.

All in all, Principle is a simple utility that can be very useful for app creators, as it provides a relatively straightforward method of setting up and recording interactive interface designs.

Compatibility: OS X 10.11 or later 64-bit

What’s New in Acorn 6.2

# The One About Dark Mode and macOS Mojave

Acorn is embracing the dark side. At least if you want it to- otherwise Acorn will totoally pretend that Dark Mode doens’t exist and we’re all good.

A new appearance requires new icons as well. We’ve refreshed all the icons in the welcome window as well as in the tools palette. And everyone gets those, not just folks running Mojave.

# Little New Things
  • New Appearance preference when running on Mojave: Pick either Dark Aqua, Aqua, or System to follow the system setting.
  • The Rotate shape processor now has a cumulative option.
  • The text palette now has a fill option right above the stroke field. Hurray no more moving to the shape palette to turn strokes on and off!
# Changes
  • Improvements to zooming your image in and out with the Command1 through 5 shortcut keys.
  • Better integration when editing from Photos.app and autosave.
  • If no documents are open, and you drag and drop a file into the layers palette, Acorn will now open up that image.
  • Turned off the behavior where the selected tool is saved as part of the image, rather than global for the app. This means switching between open images will always keep the currently selected tool.
  • Additional preset scale levels have been to the Command+ and Command shortcuts, which help out on the lower end.
  • The scale buttons (next to the canvas scale slider) will now stop on a scale which would put your image at a point where it zooms to fit.
  • Acorn will now show a little warning on the canvas when you copy 100% transparent pixels to the clipboard.
  • Canvas notifications are now shown at the top of the canvas instead of smack dab in the middle.
  • Web Export uses fancier scaling, so the edges of circles that butt up against the last column of the image don’t get blown out when the image is scaled down.
  • When autosave is turned on, nonnative images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, basically everything other than .acorn files) will open up as unsaved new images. This is to keep from reencoding lossly image formats, and automatically losing data in general. If you enjoyed the previous option, you can turn off autosave in the General tab of Acorn’s preferences window.
  • The subpixel antialiasing option for text boxes has been removed when Acorn is running on macOS Mojave 10.14 (Apple has removed subpixel antialiasing from the system and made it impossible for Acorn to support).
  • When using Smart Export on single layer via the Export… button, the option to always smart export when saving is now available via the export sheet.
  • Super minor: The web export window will now default to save your image in the same folder the original image was opened from.
# Fixes
  • Various macOS Mojave 10.14 fixes.
  • Fixed a relatively small drawing problem with ovals.
  • Fixed a problem where you could make an empty selection on layer masks.
  • Fixed a problem where the color loupe would sometimes show up when you press the option key over a palette.
  • Now supporting the new drag and drop stuff from Photos on macOS 10.14, so we can all enjoy full res images.
  • Fixed a problem where the Close All menu item was unlocalized.
  • Zoom to fit refinements for folks who have their scrollbars set to always show.
  • Fixed a problem where web export wouldn’t remember that the “Remove metadata” settings between uses.
  • Fixed a problem when opening certain PDFs and creating an image out of the first page.
  • Fixed some rounding errors when drawing selections.
  • Fixed flickering when selecting text.
  • Fixed a problem where View ▸ Draw Shape Vectors wasn’t working correctly with Metal.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking the mouse with the control key down wouldn’t bring up the contextual menu on the canvas.
  • Fixed a problem where the pencil cursor would go away when drawing.
  • Fixed a scaling issue with text boxes.
