About Draftly
Draftly generates complete app interfaces from a plain-English prompt instead of a single image. You describe the product, audience, core features and visual direction, and it produces a plan before drawing any screens, asking focused questions, proposing a design system and mapping the screens and user flow.
After you review the plan, Draftly generates the screens, which can be previewed on desktop or mobile, edited with targeted UI changes, inspected as HTML and exported together with the design system. Example prompts include a SaaS dashboard, social web app, portfolio website and e-commerce store, and the workspace keeps planning, generation, preview, editing and export together.
Draftly is a hosted commercial tool for exploring MVPs, explaining concepts and testing user journeys before development starts. Pricing is not stated in the page text.
