Napkin Sketch – iOS App – Free
Napkin is a lightweight user interface design tool made for mocking up quick ideas directly on your iPhone. You can add various layer types to the canvas such as: rectangles, photos from your camera roll, text, and icons. Double tapping any layer reveals its own contextual controls which mirror what you would expect from other popular desktop interface design tools.
For example, on rectangle layers you can edit the color, corner radius, drop shadow, and alpha. Additionally the controls for each layer allow for locking and unlocking, moving it in front or behind other layers, or simply deleting it. Another great feature of Napkin is quickly being able to duplicate any layer by tapping it with two fingers.
All layers snap to a grid which you can define in the sidebar menu, therefore aligning layers is a breeze. When you background the app, your mock is saved and will be waiting there for you the next time you launch the app. You can make a screenshot to share your mockup.
