What is Flinto?
Flinto empowers designers by providing a robust prototyping environment tailored for macOS. The platform streamlines the creation of interactive and animated prototypes for app designs, allowing users to visualize transitions, micro-interactions, and gestures without the need for any coding skills.
With advanced features such as seamless Sketch and Figma import, an innovative transition and behavior designer, vector drawing tools, scrolling animations, and real-time device preview, Flinto significantly reduces design iteration cycles. Users can add haptic feedback, 3D rotations, sound effects, and video layers to prototypes, ensuring high-fidelity representation of their concepts for user testing, client feedback, and development handoff.
