About Mockly
Questions
FAQ
What is the best Mac alternative to Picsew for App Store screenshots?
Mockly is a Mac app built for App Store screenshots. It puts your screenshots on six 3D device models, keeps all 50 App Store languages in one project with AI translation through your own key, exports PNG or HEIC at exact artboard sizes, and uploads to App Store Connect. That workflow is awkward in a phone app made for stitching.
Does Mockly render real 3D device models?
Yes. Mockly has six 3D models: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch, MacBook Pro 16-inch, Apple Watch Ultra, and Apple Watch Series 11. You set each one's rotation on X, Y, and Z, its scale, and its offset, render it Realistic, Clay, or UI Only, and switch between perspective and orthographic projection.
Can Mockly translate screenshot text for App Store localisations?
Yes. AI Translate translates the text blocks into the languages you pick with your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, and you can export a CSV for a translator and import it back. Each of the 50 App Store languages can also carry its own screenshots and layout. AI output is machine translation, so read it before you ship.
Is Mockly a subscription?
No. Mockly is a one-time $12.99 purchase with no subscription, and every editor feature comes with it.
