Origami Studio is unclaimed —
Origami Studio is a design and prototyping tool that lets users build interactive, animated prototypes using a visual Canvas interface combined with a Patch Editor for logic and interactions. It supports importing designs from Figma and Sketch, tapping into native hardware APIs (camera, audio, haptics, GPS, motion), and recording or sharing prototypes directly from the app. The latest version introduces a new canvas interface, dynamic layout, and performance improvements.
