About

Animate Your Ideas, Design Better Apps. Principle makes it easy to design animated and interactive user interfaces. Whether you're designing the flow of a multi-screen app, or new interactions and animations, Principle helps you create designs that look and feel amazing. Use Principle in beautiful dark mode and import designs from Figma. There are a lot of things you might want to design: a short animation, a slick interaction, or an extensive multi-screen app. No matter what you're doing, you can do it with Principle. Principle's timeline makes it quick work to illustrate the perfect bounce, ease, and pop. Want to design a totally new interaction? Principle gives you the freedom to experiment without limiting you to pre-defined transitions. It's a breeze to design the flow of a multi-screen app; and when you're done you'll have a bird's-eye view of all your screens. With artboards, magic animations and a timeline, using Principle will give you Déjà vu.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Its Free - Can Collaboration with you team - Its Locally - No need internet (for use local) - Nice UI
  • I’ve had a really positive experience using Lunacy. One of the standout features for me is its collaborative workflow.it’s smooth, efficient, and makes working with a team much easier. Sharing ideas, making updates, and staying in sync feels seamless, which has significantly improved our productivity. Overall, it’s a great tool for collaborative design work.
  • Using Lunacy for design has been great. It works totally offline, so I can design without worrying about internet downtime. The interface is so easy to use—everything feels intuitive, and I didn’t spend hours figuring things out. Despite being lightweight and small in size, it is powerful and capable of handling professional design tasks. I can create high-quality UI designs and prototypes without heavy system requirements. It feels small but mighty—simple on the surface but strong in functionality. For designers who want speed and efficiency without complexity, Lunacy is a solid choice.
  • the app itself is a true native app unlike Figma, which uses electron for it's desktop app
  • As a full stack developer and designer, I’ve tried a bunch of design tools, but Lunacy stands out with its speed, offline capabilities, and smooth interface. The built-in assets and AI-powered features are incredibly handy and save me tons of time. Being able to work with Sketch files without any hiccups is a huge plus. Highly recommended!

Cons

  • - Need more Study for Feature (not much if you familiar with Figma) - Some Feature on Figma not here, but its just different name
  • I’ve noticed that the rules feature can be a bit buggy at times, which slightly disrupts the experience. Improving its stability would make the app even better.
  • - New update does not allow scrolling in prototype mode 12.3
  • AI integration and not being able to import local Figma files
  • Limited plugin ecosystem compared to Figma or Sketch — fewer community-built extensions. Team collaboration is not as seamless as Figma’s real-time editing (though it's improving). Learning curve if you’re switching from another tool, since some shortcuts and workflows are different. Cloud sync and version history are a bit basic if you're used to advanced cloud-based tools.
