About

Icelus

Features
Read full description

Icelus is a design tool for screens. Design on a real canvas; underneath, every screen is text. Pick a part, tap the canvas, and it lands there as a real button, field, switch or table. One switch in Settings shows the same screen as box-drawing characters. Buttons, inputs, tables, date pickers, tab bars, charts, 38 parts in all. Draw arrows between them, add a big title, and move things around until the screen looks right. Or type the whole screen in a few lines and let Icelus draw it. Then copy it. A Icelus screen is text underneath, so it pastes into a pull request, an issue, a README, a chat or a code comment, and it stays editable wherever it lands. No image to attach, no design file to open. What you get: - A real canvas: parts draw as real controls on artboards, with a Settings switch for the text look - Brush, eraser, selections, gradients, 16 terminal colors, adjustment layers and masks - 38 parts, each its own object you can move, resize, duplicate and reorder - Several screens on one canvas, linked by arrows, copied as one document - Screen templates: sign in, settings, list, detail, empty state - Highlights, your own saved parts, and iOS, Material, terminal and email packs - Copy HTML: the layout as real elements for a developer - Paste any text wireframe and edit it - Shortcuts: Draw a screen, Make plain ASCII - 27 languages and full VoiceOver support - Arrows that stay attached when parts move - Type a screen in a few lines, and copy any sketch back as those lines - Turn a photo into block art, or trace over one - Text boxes, banners and five box styles - Tables you edit as typed rows, with columns that grow - Bar charts, sparklines and progress rows drawn from numbers - Flowcharts from a line like a -> b -> c - Sequence diagrams from lines like User -> App: Sign in - Trees from an indented list - Groups that move as one - A layer list: hide, lock, reorder - Symbols: edit one copy, every copy follows - Pressed, disabled and error states - Snap and alignment guides - Copy as text, Markdown or plain ASCII, or share an image - Autosave and 50 steps of undo - Keyboard control on the Mac - The same project file on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and the web Everything stays on your device.
