Templates to get you started instantly

Jumpstart your app development process with our pre-built, responsive UI Kit for Figma (opens in a new tab). It has over 100+ UI components and over 50 page sections to help you generate high-quality code for a variety of apps. Here are the steps you need to follow to use the UI Kit:

  1. Find the design element you need and copy it.
  2. Paste it into your design file and modify the element to match your app's brand and messaging.
  3. Run the Locofy.ai plugin and hit the "Preview" button at the bottom to open the live, responsive preview based on frame that you have selected. You can check the look & feel of these components in the preview and switch between different screen sizes to test the responsiveness.
  4. Once you are happy with what you see, you can add Actions to relevant elements, such as buttons if needed.
  5. Click on "Sync to Builder" to sync these designs with Builder where you can export the code, sync with GitHub or directly deploy to top cloud providers.
