Main purpose

Mockingbird is a tool that allows you to create mockups which you can link together. You can also publish your work and share with others. It is easy to use because it uses drag&drop user interface elements, which you can resize and rearrange. This tool allows to link more mockupas together and preview them interactively. Mockups can be shared by sending a link or embed to blog or web site.

Mockingbird allows you to design user interface mockups for your software and websites.
