The short version

What happened to Mockingbird?

Mockingbird has shut down. The homepage at gomockingbird.com now says "Mockingbird is no longer in operation", so you can no longer sign up or open projects there.

Mockingbird was a web app for quick wireframes. You dragged UI elements onto a page, linked several pages together to click through the flow, and shared a link so teammates could edit with you in real time. The shutdown notice does not give a date. It points users to Excalidraw and tldraw for simple sketches, and to FigJam, MockFlow and Moqups for fuller mockup work.

Bottom line: For fast, rough wireframes, use Excalidraw or tldraw. For linked screens and a UI element library like Mockingbird had, try Moqups or MockFlow.

What it did

Interactive preview
