Overflow

Overflow is a specialized user flow diagramming tool designed to help product designers and teams create interactive presentations from their existing designs. Think of it as a bridge between your design tools and your presentation needs.

The main difference from other diagramming tools is simple: instead of building flows from basic shapes, Overflow uses your actual design screens and connects them with smart connectors. It integrates seamlessly with popular design tools, allowing you to sync artboards and automatically transfer layers without recreating anything.

Each user flow includes interactive elements, device skins, annotations, and smooth navigation features. Founded by the team behind Proto.io, this tool has gained popularity among 500,000+ designers worldwide because it saves time and creates more engaging presentations. You can present your designs like a story, switching between bird's eye view and detailed screen-by-screen walkthroughs.

Using Overflow is straightforward and designer-friendly. First, download the desktop app for Mac or Windows and start your 14-day free trial. The interface is clean and intuitive for designers familiar with modern design tools.

Here's how to get started:

• Import your designs: Sync directly from Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or Photoshop using built-in plugins

• Create connections: Drag connectors from any layer or element to link screens together

• Add context: Include annotations, labels, and device skins to enhance your presentation

• Customize styling: Use the global styles editor to maintain brand consistency across connectors and elements

• Share and present: Upload to Overflow Cloud and share via link, or present live with interactive navigation

The tool works best when you have existing designs to import. You can also use screenshots from apps or websites if your design tool isn't supported yet. Overflow automatically detects device types and suggests appropriate skins. Always save your work manually as auto-save wasn't available in some versions.
