What you get
Design output that is already an exportable HTML, PDF, PPTX or MP4 — no second pass out of a canvas tool.
Open Design: A Design Engine That Runs on Your Machine
Added 2026-08-06It turns the Claude Design loop — pin the brief, lock the direction, stream the artifact, critique, deliver — into files on disk: skills, templates, design systems and plugins your local coding agents can read and rewrite.
What comes out isn't pixels on a canvas but single-page artifacts in real CSS, real fonts and real components — prototypes, live dashboards, decks, images, video — exported straight to HTML, PDF, PPTX or MP4. Your team's DESIGN.md acts as the brand contract that shapes every output. The desktop app is local-first and native on macOS and Windows, and it drives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Qwen, Copilot and twenty-odd other local CLIs, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via BYOK. Apache 2.0, with an optional paid model service.
