Wireframes that invite the whole team in.

The best products are sketched before they're designed. SketchPad gives PMs, designers, and engineers a low-stakes canvas to align on flows and screens before anyone opens a high-fidelity tool.

What makes it work

Just enough fidelity. Never too much.

Sketch-fidelity by default

Hand-drawn strokes signal "early thinking" and stop reviewers from arguing about pixel padding. Switch to clean lines when you ship.

Reusable shape building blocks

Boxes, buttons, inputs, modals — assemble screens fast with primitives that read as wireframes everywhere.

Linked flows, not slide decks

Connect screens with arrows to show navigation. Reviewers follow the flow on a single canvas instead of clicking through 30 slides.

Real-time critique

Designers and PMs sit on the same canvas. Inline comments, sticky reactions, and live cursors replace the back-and-forth in chat.

A typical workflow

Wireframe to handoff in one afternoon.

01

Block out the screens

Drop rectangles for each screen, label them, then sketch the layout — no design system setup required.

02

Connect the navigation

Draw arrows between screens to express the flow. Use color to mark error states or empty states.

03

Get critique on the canvas

Invite engineers and PMs. They drop comments inline; you respond and revise without a Loom video.

04

Hand off to high-fidelity

Export the canvas as PNG / PDF, or paste screens directly into your design tool of choice for the polished pass.

Wireframing FAQ.

Is SketchPad a replacement for Figma?
No. SketchPad lives upstream of Figma. We are the place ideas get sketched and flows get debated. Once the direction is locked, designers move into a high-fidelity tool.
Can engineers contribute without design experience?
Yes — that is the point. The hand-drawn aesthetic and small shape library mean engineers, PMs, and even leadership feel comfortable sketching alongside designers.
How are wireframes shared with stakeholders?
Share a view-only link. Stakeholders see the canvas in their browser without an account, can leave comments, and you control whether they can edit.
Do wireframes stay editable after a session?
Yes. Canvases live forever. Many teams keep one canvas per feature and iterate on it over weeks instead of starting fresh each time.
