I’m soooo excited to share my new plugin that I’ve been developing for the past couple weeks.
MockupMirror. This plugin lets you preview your Penpot designs directly on a real Android device using a companion app. It’s a seamless way to see your designs in action on an actual device.
Features
Connects with your phone with a simple QR Code
Your design data will be private and transfered locally via your WiFi (tech used: WebRTC)
Preview multiple Boards on your device
I hope this tool will be helpful for your design workflows. I’d love to hear your feedback. Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, or any features you’d like to see!
Currently it’s under review for the listing in the Penpot Plugins platform.
(Edit: It’s already approved: Penpot Plugin | Mockup Mirror)
Only Android is supported as of now, since I don’t have a Mac and an Apple Developer Account (Costs Money haha). But the app is built with React-Native, so it is ready to run on iOS devices too.
I wanted to confirm: The iOS version of the app is complete?
Since this is a React Native application, it should be compatible with iOS platforms as well, correct?
Yes, but since Apple doesn’t allow you go sideload apps, it’s not possible to install. The only way is to publish it to the app store which I’m not willing to spend money on, at this point in time.
For Android, you can install it directly through the APK, unlike iOS.
I understand. Publishing to the App Store can be a hassle and costs money. I’ll probably renew my Apple Developer account soon, and if I do, I’ll let you know. Since it’s open source, I could try publishing it for you, or maybe the Penpot team could handle it. I’ll also try building it locally to see if I can install it that way.
