Briefs is an Objective-C toolkit and companion iPhone app for building interactive, tappable wireframes and app prototypes that run directly on the device. Prototypes are defined as text files (.brieflist) referencing static images, organized into scenes and actors, and can be distributed via RSS-based 'briefcasts'.

Use cases

• prototype an iPhone app before writing code
• create interactive wireframes that run on a real device
• test interaction design with users cheaply
• share design prototypes with testers without Xcode
• iterate on app screen flows and transitions
• design around gestures, rotation, and interruptions

When to choose

• you are prototyping for older iOS devices and want on-device interactive mockups
• you prefer text-file-based prototype definitions over heavyweight design tools
• you want to distribute prototypes to testers via a feed without rebuilding apps

When to avoid

• you need a maintained tool with modern iOS support
• you target platforms other than iPhone
• you want high-fidelity design tools rather than image-based wireframes
• you need current tooling - the project has not been updated since 2012
