Launch Details

What is Inspr ?

Inspr (Inspire) is a tool for creating mock-ups of the app design that’s always been floating around in your head. Unlike the existing tools that do similar things — Adobe Illustrator and Sketch, for example — Inspr is not restricted to professionals. With built-in templates, presets and icons, Inspr takes no design or coding skill to use, which is friendly for anyone who has app ideas. The best part is that Inspr is designed for your phone — you can craft your ideas wherever you go, not just on a desktop.

What’s the Inspr + POP integration?

To encourage more people without professional experience to use Inspr for app design, we’re launching a new version that’s integrated with POP — Prototyping on Paper. POP is an app that turns sketches into an interactive prototype. After launching three years ago, POP has 300,000 users, and 500,000 prototypes have already been created. The integration with POP will help Inspr users easily export their designs to a prototyping tool. People already using POP can use Inspr as a design tool to quickly create content for the prototype. With the integration, the whole process from mockup to prototype can be done on a phone seamlessly, and anyone can create an interactive prototype to share with friends!

With the new POP integration, you won’t just see the static UI pages but also the UX part of your app design, so any developer will easily be able to turn the prototype into a fully functioning app. We believe, though, that many people creating designs of their app idea are aspiring entrepreneurs, and they’ll be able to sell their prototype. In the future, we are going to turn Inspr into a marketplace for designers, where they can not only create but also sell their app prototypes.

Is there anything else unique about this new launch?

Yes! Right now Inspr is a paid app, but again, we’re trying to encourage non-professionals to download it and play around with their own app idea. The new launch will have a free version, but with limited function. It will still be integrated with POP, so you can play around with it and see how you like app design before you download the full thing (which is still only $1.99.)

Why Did We Make Inspr?

“Design is everywhere, inevitably everyone is a designer.”

— Tim Brown, IDEO CEO

Easily craft your app ideas on the phone

Steven, the founder Inspr, came up with the idea. In the beginning, it was completely for his personal use. He always would have a crazy app idea swimming around his head, and he wanted to be able to create a mock-up anytime, anyplace!

Steven believes visualization is an important step to know whether the idea is feasible and attractive. Drawing on paper is the most straightforward way to translate your ideas into a picture, but it is not an ideal solution to share the concept with friends or colleagues.

What about the other design tools? A professional designer friend might tell you to purchase “Sketch” or “Adobe Illustrator”. These are excellent tools, but they require steep learning curve which may not be ideal for people who just want to quickly visualize a spontaneous idea as their first step.

So, we create a mobile tool — Inspr, a straightforward design app that is dead simple for everyone to use on their iPhone and iPad.
