Pencil for Windows

Pencil is a multifunctional prototyping tool for graphical presentation of user interfaces. Developers from Evolus suggest working with geometric shapes, buttons, text forms, columns and quick access panels to work out the design of the menu of desktop and mobile applications.

Pencil Features

• Quick start. Developers offer to turn ideas and fantasies into life in a semi-automatic mode: the main thing is to set the frames of the virtual canvas and choose a theme, and then it will remain to work with details and experiment. It takes no more than five minutes to get your first production platform ready.
• No restrictions. Prior to the release of Pencil, prototyping looked difficult and barely legible for professionals. After the release, the situation changed: it became easier to deal with the details. There are instructions for beginners, as well as special practical lessons that reveal important nuances and details.
• Distribution. The developers offer to download Pencil from the official site for free. The available distribution is designed for 32 and 64-bit operating systems, is supported by Windows XP, and even is embedded in the Mozilla Firefox browser to develop interfaces at any time and in a suitable place. Russian language is not provided, only English is available. Additional plugins downloaded from the network are not translated either.
• Advantages over competitors. The main idea behind Pencil is the complexity of the approach. Developers appreciate those who are in a hurry to think through every step. Therefore, in the main menu, there was a place for diagrams, where it is easy to assume the principle of interaction with the interface, ways of organizing free space, and methods of navigating through sections and directories.

The Pencil menu allows you to upload sources of suitable formats from third-party sources, upload the resulting work to cloud storage and FTP, and present the final result in the form of PDF documents or text files for work not on the monitor screen, but on paper, in printed form. With a lack of ideas, Pencil is able to design a test version of the interface for specific tasks, which is later allowed to be edited.
