Mockup
Mockup is a Mac design app for sketching, wireframing, and prototyping app or website interfaces across Apple devices.
What is Mockup?
Mockup is a native design app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that helps UI and UX designers sketch ideas, build wireframes, and create interactive prototypes. It is made for interface design workflows, combining freehand drawing, reusable UI elements, device frames, and prototype links in one workspace. Users can draft mobile, tablet, desktop, watch, TV, and web layouts, then refine them with text, shapes, symbols, images, grids, and guides. The app also supports exporting work as PDF or PNG and sharing project files with other users. For Mac users, Mockup fits best as a focused wireframing and early-stage product design tool rather than a full production design suite. It is published by Apprime Studio sarl and is aimed at designers, developers, and product teams who want to move quickly from rough concepts to presentable interface flows.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate design app used to create interface sketches, wireframes, and prototypes. Access to files, iCloud, images, or Apple Pencil features is consistent with its design workflow. As with other creative apps, your main concern is protecting project work: keep backups of important designs and confirm sync or export behavior before relying on it for critical deliverables.
Recommendation: Keep Mockup if you use it for UI or UX design work on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. If you no longer create wireframes or prototypes with it, you can remove the app, but export or back up any important projects first so you do not lose active design files.
