As the title reads, I m looking for open source alternatives to balsamiq mockup for prototyping. Anyone knows of an equally good alternative that s open source or basically freeware.

Answer 1

The best available Open source mock up tool is Pencil. Its available as firefox plugin as well as stand alone.

Another solution, which I personally use is Inkscape, an open source SVG Editor. It is NOT a mock up designer, but we can use it for designing mock ups, using freely available stencil kit, like Yahoo Stencil Kit.

Answer 2

Mockingbird is free during beta

Firefox s pencil add-on is free forever

Answer 3

Take a look at Maqetta. It runs as a html5 app in your browser, so you can deploy it on your server to easily share your work with others, or you can simply start it locally and point your browser to localhost on port 50000.

On their homepage, you can test maqetta online (after registering), or download a package that contains everything needed to run it locally.

Answer 4

WireframeSketcher is not open-source but it s free for open-source developers. WireframeSketcher helps you quickly create wireframes, mockups and prototypes for desktop, web and mobile applications. It comes both as a standalone version and as a plug-in for Eclipse IDEs. It has some distinctive features like storyboards, components, linking and vector PDF export. Among supported IDEs are are Aptana, Flash Builder, Zend Studio and Rational Application Developer.
