Principle for Mac

Create high-fidelity interaction prototypes. Master timelines, drivers, and component logic to build realistic app demos.

When Figma prototypes aren't enough, designers turn to Principle. This Mac-only tool allows for complex, timeline-based animations and logic without code. You will learn to build scroll-based animations using Drivers, create complex component states, and fine-tune timing curves. We cover importing from Figma/Sketch and recording demos for stakeholders. Perfect for micro-interactions and testing realistic app feel before development begins.
