Glyphbox

Sketch a screen in plain text.

Stamp parts on a grid. Copy it anywhere.

$0.99 on the App Store. Free on the web.

This is the real app. Pick a part, click the grid, drag it around, then export the text.

What it does

A wireframe you can paste.

Every other wireframe tool hands you a picture. Glyphbox hands you text, so it lives in the same place as your code.

[ OK ]  [____]
[x] a   (o) b

38 parts

Buttons, inputs, date pickers and tab bars, tables that grow with every cell you type, and charts drawn from your numbers. Stamp them as characters, not pixels.

Move, resize, edit

Drag a part, nudge it with the arrow keys, double-click to change its words. Shift-click a few and group them to move them as one, hide and lock layers, make a symbol and edit every copy at once, or show a part pressed, disabled or in error. Duplicate and reorder in a key press.

Copy as text, Markdown or plain ASCII, hand a developer real HTML, or share a link anyone can embed.

Agents can draw

An API, an MCP server and Shortcuts actions, so an assistant can sketch and fix a screen for you. A GitHub Action keeps README wireframes whole.

Whole flows

Put screens side by side, link them with arrows and copy the flow as one document. Start from sign in, settings or a list.

Type it or paste it

Write a screen in a few lines, type a -> b -> c for a flowchart or User -> App: Sign in for a sequence diagram, an indented list for a tree, or paste a wireframe from a README or a chat. Either way you get parts you can edit.

For everyone
