About

A spatial design tool that creates wireframes, diagrams, and mockups using Unicode box-drawing characters. Everything renders as text, making it easy to share designs in any text format.

What it does

The site describes Wiretext as a Unicode wireframe design tool: draw boxes, text, buttons, and other UI elements that render entirely as text, then export as plain text, Markdown, HTML, or GitHub-flavored output. It also ships an MCP server so AI assistants like Claude Code can generate wireframes directly.
