Product updates

IdeaBoard now introduces interactive navigation between components, letting you craft dynamic, non-linear presentations with smooth zoom and scroll transitions. Engage your audience or team by turning any whiteboard into a clickable, guided experience perfect for storytelling, brainstorming walkthroughs, or product demos.

How to Add Interactions

To get started, right-click on any supported component such as a button, sticky note, section, text box, or frame. You’ll see two new options in the context menu:

1. Add Web Link: Create a hyperlink from your component to any external webpage or online resource.
2. Add Internal Link: Connect one component to another within your whiteboard. You can link to large components like sections, mind maps, frames, or documents for presentation-style navigation.

By combining multiple internal links, you can establish a non-linear navigation path across different parts of your whiteboard, helping viewers explore ideas fluidly rather than following a rigid slide sequence.

How to Navigate Between Components

Once interactions are set up, click on any interactive component or use the right-arrow shortcut key to follow its link. IdeaBoard will automatically zoom and scroll to the target area, fitting it perfectly to your screen.

To return, press the left-arrow key—IdeaBoard remembers your navigation history, allowing seamless back-and-forth movement between connected components. This makes exploring complex boards effortless and immersive.

Use Cases for Interactive Whiteboards

Non-Linear Presentations:

Present ideas dynamically by jumping between sections based on audience input instead of following a fixed slide order. Perfect for brainstorming sessions, workshops, and agile reviews.

Interactive Storytelling and Product Demos:

Create narrative-style walkthroughs of user journeys or design concepts. Link wireframes, mockups, or idea clusters to demonstrate flow and context.

Flowcharts and Architecture Diagrams:

Showcase complex systems or workflows with interactive navigation. Link nodes, subsystems, or related diagrams to zoom into deeper layers of your architecture or process visualization.

Interactive Knowledge Maps and Documentation:

Build connected knowledge bases or process documents where each note or component links to supporting visuals or references, helping teams explore topics intuitively.

Training and Educational Boards:

Teachers and trainers can design guided learning paths—linking lessons, exercises, and examples into a structured yet explorative format that keeps learners engaged.

Final Note

With Interactions, IdeaBoard evolves from a whiteboard into an interactive presentation and storytelling platform. Whether you’re explaining workflows, teaching concepts, or mapping ideas, you can now guide your audience through your whiteboard with clarity, motion, and intent.

This update, makes editing chart data in WireframePro more intuitive, visual, and efficient helping you focus on design rather than data formatting. As Charts play a key role when wireframing dashboards, analytics, and insight-driven interfaces, this is very important.

A More Visual and Streamlined Chart Editing Experience

WireframePro offers a rich collection of built-in chart components including area, bar, line, radar, scalar, and bubble charts along with sketch style variants for hand-drawn wireframes.

Previously, editing chart data worked like modifying a CSV in a textbox. While convenient for quick copy-paste, it often felt tedious and error-prone, requiring extra effort to validate values manually. This experience didn’t align with our mission to keep UI ideation fast, simple, and friction-free.

With the new data editor, chart editing now feels as smooth as working in a spreadsheet dramatically improving accuracy, speed, and usability.

Introducing the New Chart Editor

The upgraded chart editor includes essential spreadsheet-like controls, tailored specifically for chart data. It intelligently adapts to different chart types and lets you:

1. Add or remove rows and columns effortlessly
2. Edit values directly with point-and-click interactions
3. Sort data in one click
4. Copy data or paste from Excel and CSV files
5. Benefit from built-in validation to avoid formatting issues

Faster, Validated & Visual Chart Editing

Whether you're wireframing business dashboards, analytics screens, or data-rich reports, the new chart editor helps you shape your ideas faster and more accurately.

Try it today and give your wireframes cleaner, more realistic charts without sacrificing speed or creativity.

Now brainstorm with locations using the new maps component in IdeaBoard. Add location markers to ideate on geo based visualization. Available in flat or as 3D globe along with AI generation of markers.

Brainstorm with Maps

Maps play a vital role in brainstorming when your ideas or strategies are tied to geography. The new Maps component in IdeaBoard makes visualizing spatial ideas easy, accurate, and fully integrated into your whiteboard workflow. Unlike traditional mapping tools, this component is built specifically for whiteboarding allowing you to drag and drop multiple maps, resize, reposition, and customize them effortlessly. Explore different perspectives, themes, and locations to bring clarity and context to your geographic brainstorming sessions.

AI+Maps = geosome

Just like other smart components in IdeaBoard, the Maps component comes with built-in AI assistance to make map creation faster and smarter. Simply click the AI button in the settings and enter a prompt to generate a map for anything from F1 race circuits to top hospitals in Spain. The AI doesn’t just place locations it also adds contextual marker icons that visually represent your topic, such as race cars or hospital symbols. You can even generate complete map components using Mida, the MockFlow Intelligent Design Assistant, for instant, AI-powered geo visualization that fits perfectly into your whiteboard brainstorming.

Perspectives and Themes

Experience maps the way you prefer either as a flat 2D view (Mercator projection) or a fully interactive 3D globe visualization. You can zoom, pan, rotate, and spin the globe effortlessly for dynamic exploration. Each perspective supports multiple visual themes currently including normal, dark, white, and gray allowing you to match your map’s appearance with your whiteboard’s overall design

Unlimited and free usage of maps component

The Maps component in IdeaBoard is available with unlimited and free access for all users, including those on the Free Basic plan. Since MockFlow hosts its own dedicated maps server, you can explore, create, and collaborate without any usage limits or third-party restrictions. While AI-powered map generation depends on your available AI credits, the Maps component itself remains fully functional without AI, ensuring everyone can brainstorm visually with no barriers.

Use cases

1. Market Planning: Visualize expansion opportunities, target cities, and regional strategies.
2. Education & Research: Create interactive geography or data maps for learning and presentations.
3. Event Mapping: Plan global events, tours, or campaigns with clear location markers.
4. Team Collaboration: Coordinate remote teams and regional activities on a shared map.
5. Travel & Exploration: Design travel itineraries or visualize destinations with 3D globe views.

Comments in MockFlow IdeaBoard just got a major upgrade. With the new Comments 2.0, board members can now share feedback and ideas more naturally through video or voice comments. Whether it’s explaining a concept visually or adding quick audio feedback, discussions on your boards are now more contextual, expressive, and human than ever before.

Express naturally

In IdeaBoard, comments are now treated as core components rather than simple add-ons. You can drag, position, or even attach them to specific sections just like any other element on your board. This makes feedback more collaborative, organized, and easy to follow within defined discussion threads.

While text comments work well for quick notes, they often fall short when it comes to expressing tone, emotion, or detailed thoughts. The latest update changes that board members can now record short video messages using their camera or share voice notes as audio comments, making communication more natural, personal, and expressive than ever before.

Press to Capture

Adding a video or voice comment in IdeaBoard is as simple as adding a text comment. Just drag and drop a video or audio comment component onto your board. If camera or microphone access isn’t already granted, you’ll be prompted to enable it. Then, hit the Record button to capture your comment whether it’s a quick video message or a voice note.

Once the recording is done, you can preview your capture before uploading. If you’re not satisfied, simply re-record, it’s that easy. The entire process works seamlessly within your browser, with no need for plugins or extensions. Designed with a minimal and intuitive interface, it requires zero learning curve.

To keep things focused, audio and video comments are limited to 2 minutes, which helps maintain viewer attention and ensures faster playback while still giving you enough time to convey your ideas clearly.

Play Seamlessly

Playing back comments is effortless. Simply click on a video or audio comment to start playback instantly and click anywhere outside to stop. There are no unnecessary controls or clutter, just a smooth and natural experience that keeps the focus on the conversation. This intuitive interaction not only feels fluid but also adds a delightful, human touch that makes feedback far more engaging than plain text comments.

Stored Secure and Private

At MockFlow, privacy comes first that also includes your voice or video. All audio and video comments are securely stored using private URLs, ensuring they are never publicly accessible. Only the board members you’ve shared the project with have permission to view or play these recordings.

To further protect your privacy, audio and video comments remain hidden in public links or shared previews of the board. This way, your conversations stay confidential, secure, and accessible only to your team.

Use Cases

Audio and video comments open up a range of new possibilities inside IdeaBoard. Beyond making annotated comments on specific elements, they can be used for board announcements, video walkthroughs, async team updates, and more. When combined with other IdeaBoard components, these rich, multimedia comments unlock creative new ways to collaborate, communicate, and share context visually.

Important: Audio and Video comments are not available in basic plan. It requires IdeaBoard or Bundle plan. However basic users can get a glimpse on how it works in their account.

New Mini-Mode in WireframePro streamlines your workspace by reducing clutter, keeping key tools within reach, and giving you more canvas space for rapid, intuitive wireframing.

If you've been following our recent WireframePro updates, you’ll know we’ve introduced a host of invaluable features to MockFlow such as Build Mode for converting concepts into code, powerful AI tools, and expanded wireframing libraries. While these advancements are essential, wireframing should also feel like a natural extension of the designer’s thought process. To achieve this, creating UI concepts needs to resemble sketching on a real whiteboard clean, spacious, and free from unnecessary distractions. At the same time, designers must have quick access to the essential tools required to bring their ideas to life. The new Mini-Mode balances both, giving you more whitespace to think and the right functions at your fingertips

Backstory

This is how Mini-Mode was born. It’s not just a simplified version of the editor UI, but a carefully designed experience shaped by analyzing millions of heatmaps and wireframing usage patterns. The data revealed a clear trend: the more interface elements an editor displays, the less ergonomic the workflow becomes a challenge familiar to users of UI-heavy tools like Office or Photoshop. On the other hand, going too minimal can overwhelm users as they struggle to locate essential functions. Mini-Mode strikes the right balance, delivering a streamlined interface that enhances ergonomics while keeping the core functionality within easy reach.

Quick launcher

Mini-Mode delivers the right balance of UI by hiding non-essential elements while still keeping nearly 95% of WireframePro’s functionality instantly available without switching back to regular mode. It works by collapsing the sidebar into a smart overlay with related functions, while introducing a new always-on mini bottom bar featuring the most-used components. The result is a cleaner workspace that frees up significant whitespace, making both designing and viewing wireframes more seamless.

Shortcuts

Mini-Mode also introduces handy shortcuts for AI features, drawing components, and even switching between Mini and Regular modes. The new slim bottom bar is the icing on the cake styled like a subtle notch, it stays out of the way while giving instant access to your most-used components in both wireframe and sketchy styles. And of course, Mida remains in the bottom-right corner as your always-on design assistant, now enhanced to deliver not only text responses but also image-based answers, 24/7

Our analysis shows that Mini-Mode is a clear success as it delivers the majority of WireframePro’s features within a minimal, distraction-free interface, enhanced by faster shortcuts. The result: users can focus less on navigating the UI and more on bringing their concepts to life. This is the future of WireframePro. We’re also proud to share that some of these ideas were inspired by our sister product, IdeaBoard, reinforcing our commitment to building tools that make visual design more natural and intuitive

Quick access to AI

AI is now at the forefront of modern software, and with Mini-Mode, it takes center stage in WireframePro. A new mini AI input box is built right into the bottom bar, giving you instant access to powerful commands. Simply type requests like generate wireframes, tables, diagrams, cloud architecture flowcharts, or even images and AI will bring your ideas to life within seconds. It’s speed, simplicity, and creativity combined.”

The Future

Clean, intuitive, and rapid that's what MockFlow stands for when it comes to designing UI concepts. With the new Mini-Mode, you can wireframe at the speed of your thoughts. Use Ctrl/Cmd / shortcut to toggle mini mode anytime.

MockFlow IdeaBoard is now available on the Mac App Store as a secure, file-based offline whiteboard application. Designed for privacy, it requires no internet or servers to run. With a simple one-time purchase, you get unlimited brainstorming.

Whiteboard application that runs without servers

While IdeaBoard is best known as a collaborative online platform for real-time brainstorming, we've also built an offline edition that runs locally on your Mac. This file-based version was designed with two key goals in mind:

One-time purchase

Not every user needs a team-based, subscription whiteboard. Solopreneurs, freelancers, and individuals working in non-team environments may find paying for online collaboration features unnecessary, especially if their use case is simple or doesn't require AI. For them, the offline edition of IdeaBoard offers an affordable alternative. Available on the Mac App Store at a one-time launch price of $39.90, it provides most brainstorming features without recurring fees.

Full data ownership for enterprises

Brainstorming often captures the foundation of a company's next product, process, or breakthrough idea. For many enterprises, where data privacy and compliance are critical, storing this sensitive information on third-party servers may not be acceptable. With IdeaBoard for Mac, all whiteboarding data is saved locally as files, giving organizations complete ownership and control. These files can be seamlessly integrated into existing backup routines and security policies. For team collaboration, companies can securely share .board files using network storage or enterprise-ready file-sharing services like Dropbox or Box—just as they would with other important business documents.

⚠️ Important: Feature limitations

The IdeaBoard app on the Mac App Store offers a simplified, offline-first experience compared to the full online version. While it is actively maintained and updated, certain features are currently not available in this edition:

1. Windows support – available only for Mac (Windows version coming soon)
2. AI features and Mida bot – not included in the offline version
3. Collaboration tools – no audio/video meetings, real-time team chat, or online co-editing
4. Business integrations – no direct connections with apps like Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Office
5. Component library limits – fewer shapes, icons, and advanced design components

With the advantages and limitations of the Mac App Store edition clearly outlined, you can choose the version of IdeaBoard that best fits your workflow whether you prefer the privacy and simplicity of a file-based offline app, or the full power of real-time collaboration in the online version.

MockFlow AI just got smarter: wireframes generated with AI can now include real charts, analytics, and data visualizations. This makes it easier than ever to design dashboard wireframes and UIs that showcase graphs, reports, and insights.

Prompt-to-Wireframe creation in MockFlow continues to evolve with new features, fixes, and smarter generation. Today’s update is a major step forward, especially for wireframing business apps.

MockFlow has long supported native chart components to help teams brainstorm UIs with graphs. Now, this capability is extended to AI. With just a text prompt, you can instantly generate wireframes for dashboards, analytics, metrics, mobile charts, and more, making it easier to visualize complex data-driven interfaces.

For added flexibility, MockFlow AI also supports sketchy chart generation. By simply adding the keyword ‘sketchy’ to your prompt, you can create hand-drawn style wireframes that are perfect for early-stage brainstorming.

Prompt: CRM dashboard

Prompt: Mixpanel like dashboard

Prompt: Sketchy Google Analytics dashboard

Prompt: Mobile app - Storage analytics

In this release, MockFlow AI now supports all built-in chart components—including Bar Chart, Line Chart, Area Chart, Pie Chart, Bubble, Scatter, and Radar. This means your AI-generated wireframes can instantly visualize a wide variety of data layouts. Coming soon, we’re also adding AI support for more native visualizations like Gauge and Treemap to make your dashboard wireframes even more powerful

Since AI is included in all plans, you can start exploring this feature right away. Simply generate wireframes with prompts like ‘Finance dashboard’, ‘CRM analytics’, or ‘Football club metrics’. You can also experiment by adding themes, modes, or specific visualizations you’d like to see in your design. Just bring your idea as a prompt and WireframePro will instantly turn it into a wireframe now even if it involves charts.

MockFlow continues to expand support to ensure your wireframes can be seamlessly translated into code that matches your tech stack.

The MockFlow Desktop app for Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows (x64) offers several advantages, including native OS integration, a distraction-free experience, faster loading times, and now, file mode. We’re excited to introduce file mode for IdeaBoard, expanding beyond our existing wireframe app.

What is file mode?

Similar to Microsoft Office files like .ppt or .doc, you can now save and open IdeaBoard projects as files with the .board extension. All your whiteboard data—including drawings, images, and assets—is packaged into a single file. This offers several benefits: you don’t need the cloud or a server to open or edit your project, and sharing is as simple as sending any other file. You can easily use your preferred file sharing or storage service, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Businesses can also keep their own copies for backup and compliance, without relying on MockFlow to store their data.

Encrypted whiteboard files

File mode is designed especially for businesses, allowing you to use IdeaBoard without concerns about servers, backups, uptime, or hosting. However, since these projects are saved as files, they can be easily shared and might unintentionally fall into the wrong hands. To address this, file mode offers optional encryption for IdeaBoard files. You can secure your whiteboard files with a passkey of your choice, and MockFlow protects your .board files using industry-standard 256-bit encryption. The encryption key is stored within the file itself, so your project cannot be opened, viewed, or edited without the correct passkey. You can change the key as often as needed, and no cloud support is required for encryption or decryption..

Git-based collaboration

Git is a distributed version control system known for managing code and files in collaborative workflows. With IdeaBoard’s file mode, you can include whiteboard files directly within your existing git projects. This means architecture diagrams, logic flows, brainstorming sketches, and workflows can all be stored and versioned alongside your project data—right within your git or GitHub repositories.

Built-in version control

IdeaBoard’s .board files come with optional built-in revision control. Since whiteboard content often evolves, tracking changes and revisiting previous versions is essential. The integrated revision system lets you view, compare, and restore past versions of your whiteboard projects - all without needing any cloud support.

What’s Missing in File Mode?

While file mode offers many unique advantages, it does not include some features available in the online version of IdeaBoard, such as:

1. Video conferencing and chat
2. Comments or collaborative tools
3. Real-time editing in the cloud

These features remain exclusive to the online IdeaBoard experience.

Can I use IdeaBoard file mode ?

File mode is exclusive to IdeaBoard’s business yearly plans and is designed specifically for enterprise needs. It’s not available on all plans. For more details and pricing, please visit our pricing page.

What is a page minimap?

The minimap streamlines the process of working with large wireframes containing multiple screens. Instead of frequently zooming, panning, and scrolling, the minimap offers a bird’s-eye view of the entire page and allows for quick navigation to specific sections.

Design Spaces in MockFlow serve as a brainstorming hub where businesses can ideate, create, collaborate, and evaluate their next big software ideas, design updates, client projects, and more. It’s more than just a folder for grouping projects; it's a dynamic space where projects, team members, and ideas come together. Today, alongside space analytics, we’re excited to introduce "Space Activities.".

With Space Activities, members can easily track key actions within the space and see when they occurred. They can also quickly search for specific activities— for instance, searching "delete" will display all deletion actions, whether it’s an image, project, or page removal. Only essential activities relevant to the space are recorded, ensuring members have access to vital updates.

Benefits of space activity

1. Overall activity viewer of all projects inside a space
2. Track activity by member
3. Relate between member responsibilities and activities done
4. Search activities or filter by type
5. Visual timeline that also displays related thumbnails

Note: This feature along with Space Analytics is only available for Business and Enterprise plan users.

Stop spending time wireframing your existing UI—try our Chrome extension that instantly converts any website, web app, or internal app into editable wireframe designs.

We’re thrilled to announce a new addition to our AI-powered features: a Google Chrome browser extension that transforms any user interface viewed in the browser into a wireframe design. This powerful tool makes it easier than ever to update, ideate, and refine UI designs effortlessly.

Why would you need it?

Consider a scenario where your business has developed and currently uses a web-based internal supply chain management software for handling logistics. Over time, as requirements evolve, new modules and updates are needed. Directly assigning these updates to developers without a clear design process often leads to wasted time and effort, as coding is a detailed process that can’t be easily reversed. Much of this effort can be saved by providing developers with a clear UI mockup or wireframe as a specification. However, creating a wireframe from scratch can be time-consuming, especially for existing software, since the project manager or designer would first need to recreate the original design.

With this new extension, you can instantly convert your existing UI into a fully editable wireframe with a single click, allowing you to explore new styles and design ideas with ease.

Scenarios explained:

Convert specific sections or components

The new Chrome extension offers two powerful options: you can either convert the entire page or screen into an editable wireframe, or interactively select specific sections—such as a sidebar, header, or feature—or individual components like a tab bar, list, or grid. These selected elements can then be used in your wireframe just like any other component, giving you full flexibility and control over your design.

Note: This Chrome extension is currently in beta, so there may be some differences from the original design.

It is freely available for all plans including Basic. Install now from chrome store.

Just finished a UI meeting on the whiteboard? Snap a photo and upload it to MockFlow. Instantly convert your sketches into editable wireframes!.

Despite the abundance of digital tools for brainstorming, the whiteboard remains the go-to choice for physical team meetings. Whether it’s for its larger display, ease of use, or offline convenience, it has its advantages

However, the main drawbacks are that whiteboard content can be easily erased and, when stored as a photo, is no longer editable. With today’s update, you can now bring your whiteboard sketches into MockFlow as fully editable wireframes. This allows you to continue refining your designs and collaborate with your team in real-time, no matter where they are.

Whiteboard2Wireframe AI feature is now available as a beta release in all MockFlow plans. Make sure to upload one UI screen at a time rather than multiple set of screens in a single photo.

Along with our other AI-powered features like Text2Wireframe, Screenshot2Wireframe. MockFlow streamlines the wireframing process, giving you more time to focus on refining and iterating your designs. Let AI handle the groundwork, so you can concentrate on creativity and collaboration

New in MockFlow AI: "Screenshot to Wireframe" Now, you can upload a screenshot of any user interface and let MockFlow instantly transform it into fully editable wireframes. This tool is perfect for brainstorming and refining the UI of existing products or websites.

Many users rely on MockFlow not just for designing brand-new interfaces, but also for updating or iterating the UI of their current software. Previously, this involved uploading a screenshot, cropping it, and manually adding elements—a tedious process that often fell short, as bitmap screenshots aren’t editable.

With our new AI-powered feature, those challenges are now behind you. "Screenshot to Wireframe" eliminates the need for overlaying elements or recreating wireframes from scratch. Simply upload your screenshot, and MockFlow will generate a wireframe or sketch-style representation that’s fully editable, making it much easier to iterate on your UI design.

This feature is accessible by clicking the camera icon in the create-new screen of the dashboard. And also inside the wireframe editor as part of our "Genius AI toolkit".

Introducing "Text to Wireframe", simply type what's in your mind and let AI imagine the wireframe design for you.

With just a few words, our AI-powered tool generates wireframes based on your idea. Our AI tech converts your prompt to meaningful details. These details are then used to create a rough layout which in turn perfected with repeated iteration. The final design is then transformed into a editable wireframe in the style mentioned by the user. It can be sketchy, lo-fi or hi-fi.

It could be wireframe for a landing page, mobile app, SaaS tool or any UI that you require. For better output, you can provide more details in your prompt like what sections you require and what functions it provides.

With "Text to Wireframe AI" features, MockFlow ensures that you never start your UI ideation process on a blank page. Unlike other "Text to Image AI", the wireframes generated is fully editable and can be customized to suit your needs.

AI powered "Text to Wireframe" feature is available for free. Paid plans get more credits for wireframe generation. For more details visit our pricing page.

Important Note: This is a Beta feature, which means it can be unstable at-times with un-expected outputs. Also like with any other AI software it can hallucinate and sometimes may not give desired output. We are also continually updating it with improved generation.

MockFlow now offers real-time call alerts for its prime in-design video meetings feature. Call alerts helps your team stay on top of their design work without missing important audio or video meetings! Our new "Call Alerts" feature sends real-time notifications during in-design sessions. It lets your team focus on brainstorming while staying connected with project members.

How it works?

When brainstorming a new UI idea, or ideating a process flowchart or designing product assets with your team, it is important to not just collaborate in real-time but also communicate in sync. For this MockFlow already offers the ability to conduct audio or video meetings inside its editor without any third-party software. At the same time, when you start a meeting, it is important to bring your online project members together by alerting them.

By clicking the 'Headphones' icon in the top toolbar, anybody in your team can now kickstart a design meeting or a brainstorming session face-to-face. On clicking start, it sends a call like alert to other project members to either accept the meeting or decline just like your phone.

With design meetings + call alerts, MockFlow brings your remote team closer than before for brainstorming your next software.
