Build a Mobile App from a Wireframe
Turn hand-drawn or digital wireframes into a working mobile app prototype with real navigation and data, no native development experience needed.
Time Required
1–2 days
Expected Result
A working mobile app prototype with core screens, navigation, and basic data handling, ready for user testing.
Recommended Tools
Describe Each Screen from Wireframes
For each wireframe screen, write a plain-English description of the UI, the user actions available, and the data displayed or collected.
Generate the App Structure
Feed the screen descriptions into Bolt.new or Lovable with a React Native or Expo prompt. Let it scaffold the full app structure with navigation.
Build Screen by Screen
Work through each screen in Cursor, pasting in the wireframe description and asking it to implement the UI and any local state management needed.
Add Data and API Calls
Use GitHub Copilot to write the data fetching and state management layer, connecting screens to your backend API or a mock data source for testing.
Test on Device
Run the app in Expo Go on a real device. Use Cursor to fix layout issues and platform-specific bugs as they appear.
