Draw a screen. Share it in two taps. DoodleWire turns finger sketches into clean, deliberately rough wireframes, no tools, no menus, just draw. Shapes snap into buttons, inputs, text and boxes as you pause. When a guess is close, it asks you to clarify your intent and learns from your answer. Share a PNG anywhere, or copy a spec you can paste straight into Claude, v0 or Figma Make. Everything stays on your phone.
