What is Stitch?
Stitch is a free AI design tool from Google Labs that turns text prompts, sketches or screenshots into multi-screen app interfaces and front-end code. It runs on Google's Gemini models and works on an infinite canvas in the browser. The March 2026 update added voice input and a larger canvas for designing several screens together, and the tool remains free with monthly generation limits rather than paid plans.
Stitch is different from traditional design tools because you describe the app instead of drawing it, then iterate by chatting. It produces layouts for mobile and web, can connect screens into a clickable prototype, and exports to Figma for refinement or to code for developers. Product managers use it to mock up an idea before a design sprint, founders use it to get a first version of an app UI, and developers use the exported code as a starting point. It is not a full replacement for a design system tool, but it is a fast way to explore options.
