The Long Story

This tool helps you to embed your app screenshots inside Apples device mockups. Because the script reads the original photoshop documents Apple provides within their marketing guidelines, there is no need to wait for updates of the library after new product releases. Multi-Frame Mockups, e.g. one containing iPad and iPhone, are supported.

Installation

The only prerequisite is Python 3.6 or higher. On macOS its comfy to install it via homebrew, i.e. brew install python3. To install mockingbird, use pip3 install mockingbird-psd.

Instructions

Your screenshots need to be organized into folders. Each folder represents one device and contains the screenshots for every feature you wish to showcase. The folders are specified using the --screenshots parameter. Concerning the layers of the photoshop document, the folders should be given from background to foreground.

Multi-Frame mockups:
