What is Tally?

Tally adds PDF export, MCP polish, and editor ergonomics — bootstrapped grind, no big leaps.

Tally is in steady weekly-release mode. Headline shipping in April: one-click PDF export of any form submission (using the form's theme so output is on-brand and free), MCP integration improvements for AI-agent workflows, and editor productivity work — a floating table of contents on long forms, plus page-level conditional logic that landed in early March. The Trash modal got a redesign and a manual-empty option for compliance-conscious users.

What is Moqups?

Moqups builds on-ramps from Figma and Balsamiq while shipping current UI kits

Moqups, an all-in-one wireframing/diagramming tool, is actively shipping. Recent work adds a Balsamiq import path, a May feature batch headlined by a Figma-to-Moqups plugin, and fresh iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits. Its self-positioning is the lightweight, broad alternative to specialized tools.

Tally vs Moqups: editorial side-by-side

T
Tally
DESIGN
5.0

Tally adds PDF export, MCP polish, and editor ergonomics — bootstrapped grind, no big leaps.

◆ Current state

Tally is in steady weekly-release mode. Headline shipping in April: one-click PDF export of any form submission (using the form's theme so output is on-brand and free), MCP integration improvements for AI-agent workflows, and editor productivity work — a floating table of contents on long forms, plus page-level conditional logic that landed in early March. The Trash modal got a redesign and a manual-empty option for compliance-conscious users.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the cadence: outputs (PDF export, themed templates) and editor scale (table of contents, page-level logic, MCP). Tally is rounding out the simple-form surface so it can stand in for contract/order-confirmation tools and so power users with 40-block forms can keep working in it. Bootstrapped pacing, no platform pivots — every release closes a specific user complaint.

◆ Prediction

Expect more output formats (signed PDFs with e-sig integrations, branded email confirmations) since the PDF release explicitly hooks into electronic signature workflows. The MCP work suggests more AI-driven form authoring or response handling is queued — easier to imagine "agent fills out a form" or "agent summarizes responses" than another form-design feature.

Moqups builds on-ramps from Figma and Balsamiq while shipping current UI kits

◆ Current state

Moqups, an all-in-one wireframing/diagramming tool, is actively shipping. Recent work adds a Balsamiq import path, a May feature batch headlined by a Figma-to-Moqups plugin, and fresh iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits. Its self-positioning is the lightweight, broad alternative to specialized tools.

◆ Where it's heading

The throughline is migration and interoperability: make it cheap to bring work in from the incumbents (Figma, Balsamiq) and keep design-system assets current so teams have no reason to leave for high-fidelity work. Earlier Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform set up the kits that now depend on them.

◆ Prediction

Expect more import bridges and continued UI-kit freshness, plus deeper prototyping/interaction features building on the constraints groundwork.
