About Appthetics
Appthetics is an AI design tool for mobile apps, aimed at founders who can build but struggle with design. The user describes the app in a text prompt, and the tool produces editable mobile screens, which can then be refined by chatting with the AI or by clicking elements and changing text, colors, images and spacing directly.
Generated screens can be exported to Figma as editable layers, copied to the clipboard and pasted straight into a Figma file, or exported as code. The product has also added an App Store screenshot maker that applies device frames, custom backgrounds and export-ready sizes, plus sections for mascot design and design inspiration.
Appthetics is a hosted commercial product with pricing and changelog pages on its site. It suits solo founders and small teams who want a first visual direction for a mobile app that a designer or developer can continue from.
