Origami is a free Quartz Composer plugin framework from Facebook that lets designers build interactive interface prototypes visually without programming. The Quartz Composer version is deprecated; Facebook now maintains Origami Studio, a standalone native Mac app for design prototyping.
Use cases
- prototype interactive app designs without coding
- animate and test UI interactions before development
- import designs from Sketch or Figma and make them interactive
- build interactive design mockups for mobile apps
- demo app ideas to stakeholders with clickable prototypes
- explore animations and gestures visually
When to choose
- you are a designer wanting code-free interactive prototyping on macOS
- you want to turn Sketch or Figma designs into working interactive prototypes
- you need to test animations, gestures, and device interactions visually
When to avoid
- you need a supported, actively maintained tool - this Quartz Composer version is deprecated
- you are not on macOS or lack access to Quartz Composer
- you need production code generation rather than prototypes
- you prefer modern alternatives like Origami Studio, Framer, or Principle
