What Origami Studio is
Origami Studio is a free design tool for building and sharing interactive interface prototypes. Its canvas supports drag-and-drop layout and editing of shapes, text, images, and video, and can import Sketch and Figma layers. Designers can also copy editable vector shapes and text layers from Figma. The Patch Editor adds interaction, animation, and behavior by connecting patches to layer properties, while artboards and groups support adaptive layouts. Patches can access device features such as the photo library, audio metering, haptics, GPS data, and motion sensors. The app can capture prototype video, trim it, and export it; a Viewer is included for viewing, interacting with, and recording prototypes. Origami Live is a companion app for iPhone and iPad that connects to Origami Studio for Mac. It opens Studio files sent by email or AirDrop and lets users share prototypes nearby for critique and review. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, and macOS, though Studio is for Mac and Live is for iPhone and iPad. The listed plan costs nothing. Meta is identified as the tool’s creator and copyright holder.
