For Balsamiq Desktop users

Balsamiq Desktop replacement for modern wireframing

The fast, low-fi wireframing you liked — plus AI first drafts and a live structure view. And your BMPR archive comes with you.

WireMagic is an actively developed desktop wireframing app for people who liked Balsamiq’s speed and looseness but want more from the tool: describe a screen to get an editable draft, navigate every control in a structure tree, and keep every project as a local file on your machine.

  • Free BMPR preview, no card required
  • Code-signed & notarized installers
  • Files never leave your machine

Not just a replacement — a step forward.

Matching the old workflow is table stakes. These are the things a wireframing tool built in the AI era can do that classic desktop tools never did.

AI first drafts

Describe a screen and get an editable wireframe in native controls — not an image. You refine it by hand; the AI never takes the pen away.

Structure tree for every screen

A searchable panel shows the full control hierarchy of the page — find, select, and reorganize elements even in large wireframes.

Works with AI agents (Beta)

Connect coding or design agents over MCP: they read the same structured wireframe you see and can draft, arrange, and comment alongside you.

Share without uploading your work

Share Preview Links publish a static snapshot for review and handoff — the editable project never leaves your machine.

Your Balsamiq work comes with you.

Switching costs nothing to find out: open your real project and see the import result before spending anything.

1. Open your .bmpr

Download free and double-click the file. WireMagic works as a free BMPR viewer: the preview is read-only and your original file is never modified.

2. Read the import report

Every page, control count, Symbol, Alternate version, and asset — and anything unsupported, flagged by name instead of silently dropped. See how BMPR import works.

3. Convert when convinced

One paid step converts BMPR into a fully editable local project. Your original .bmpr stays untouched as a backup.

One honest boundary.

Free Basic is a real local editor and BMPR viewer, not a trial — there is no clock. Editable BMPR conversion, clean export, AI credits, and larger share limits are paid. And if a subscription ever ends, local projects stay editable: your files are never held hostage.

Questions from Balsamiq users.

Can WireMagic open BMPR files?

Yes. Free Basic can preview BMPR files so you can inspect the migration result before upgrading to editable conversion.

Is WireMagic affiliated with Balsamiq?

No. WireMagic is an independent product from Yibi AI LLC. Balsamiq is a trademark of its owner.

Can I edit converted BMPR projects for free?

Free Basic previews BMPR. Editable BMPR conversion requires Classic, Plus, or Pro.

Can I keep using local files?

Yes. WireMagic is local-first. Native .wiremagic projects live on your device, and subscription expiry does not lock existing local pages.
