Mapwright
Mapwright is a paid, browser-based planning tool that converts a rough application idea into a structured feature map, Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), and build tasks. Users describe an idea or start from an existing one, and Mapwright breaks it into discrete features that can each be expanded into a specification. The generated material is intended to serve as a plan that AI coding agents build from, rather than relying on ad-hoc prompting. According to its homepage, Mapwright produces build-ready specs with one click per feature, and it advertises compatibility with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub, Notion, and Google Docs. The site also shows a "PRD Bridge" concept with document types for front-end/UI, backend features, and database design, suggesting that generated PRDs are split along common software architecture layers. The product is delivered entirely as a hosted web service at mapwright.co.uk. Access starts with a free trial (advertised as 3 days free, with no charge until the trial ends), after which it is a paid subscription. There is no indication of a self-hosted or open-source distribution, and sign-in is required to use the tool. A documentation section is available on the same domain.

Problem solved
Early-stage product ideas often live as vague notes with no clear feature breakdown, so teams hand AI coding agents underspecified prompts and get unpredictable results. Mapwright adds structure by turning that rough idea into an explicit feature map, layered PRDs, and discrete tasks that a coding agent can execute against a defined plan.
Use cases
- Turn a rough app concept into a feature map before writing code
- Generate front-end/UI, backend, and database PRDs from a single idea
- Produce task lists that AI coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor can build from
- Draft product requirements faster for early-stage prototypes and MVPs
- Export planning documents into Notion, Google Docs, or GitHub workflows
- Structure an existing side project's scope into buildable feature specs
Audience
- Product Managers
- Developers
- Startups
- Hobbyists
- Enterprise
Pros
- Turns a vague idea into a structured feature map and specs with little manual writing
- Generates PRDs split into front-end, backend, and database concerns
- Advertises direct integration with popular AI coding agents and doc tools
- Free trial advertised with no charge until the trial ends
Cons
- Paid product with no free tier beyond the limited trial
- Hosted only; no self-hosted or offline option described
- Account and login required to use the service
