Antetype

Antetype is a UX prototyping tool developed by Cotype GmbH. According to the vendor, it aims to help designers create realistic and interactive prototypes that accurately represent the user experience of the final product. The tool is designed to be suitable for companies of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. It is commonly used by UX designers, product managers, web designers, mobile app designers, and software developers across various industries.

Key Features

Dynamic Content: According to the vendor, Antetype allows designers to fill elements dynamically with live data, enabling realistic and interactive prototypes by populating content dynamically. This feature is said to help designers test and showcase how the design will handle real data.

External libraries: Antetype provides built-in libraries for graphs and 3D animations, giving designers access to a range of pre-built elements and animations to enhance their prototypes. The vendor also claims that the tool allows for easy integration of external libraries to extend the functionality of the prototypes.

Interactive input fields: The vendor states that Antetype enables designers to create interactive input fields, allowing for testing and simulating user interactions. This feature is said to provide a realistic experience for users by dynamically reacting to real inputs.

Advanced layouts: According to the vendor, Antetype supports complex layouts with custom breakpoints, allowing designers to create layouts based on behavior rather than fixed values. This feature is intended to enable the creation of highly flexible and adaptable designs.

Set individual or shared: Antetype allows widgets to be set as individual or shared, providing flexibility in managing design elements and their properties. The vendor claims that this feature enables efficient design updates across multiple instances of a widget.

Unlimited files & sizes: The vendor states that Antetype does not impose any restrictions on the number of files or artboards in a prototype, allowing for the prototyping of large and complex projects without limitations.

Native scrolling: According to the vendor, Antetype relies on native scrolling to provide a realistic and consistent user experience. This feature ensures that scrolling behavior matches that of the final product, eliminating the need for custom scroll bars or workarounds.

Native macOS performance: Antetype is said to offer native macOS performance, providing a smooth and responsive design experience. According to the vendor, this allows designers to work offline without relying on web apps.

Fully customizable: Antetype allows prototypes to be fully customized using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The vendor claims that this feature supports the inclusion of external frameworks and libraries, enabling designers to create prototypes that match their specific design requirements.
