OpenDesign

For design-engineers who want an open-source, local-first design loop—not a vendor-locked hosted canvas. OpenDesign wires your local coding agents into a vibe design workspace: prototypes, landing pages, slides, dashboards, images, and HTML video via portable DESIGN.md brand systems. Free Desktop is Apache-2.0 BYOK; optional Cloud adds bundled credits and publishing. Skip browser-only SaaS or full-stack app builders.

Use it when

You already run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or similar locally and want one open-source workspace for on-brand prototypes, web, slides, dashboards, and marketing artifacts—files you own in your repo, not a closed design SaaS.

What it does well

  • Apache-2.0 Desktop app (macOS, Windows): local daemon, BYOK, artifacts land in your project directory
  • 21+ coding-agent adapters (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Qwen, DeepSeek, and others); switch agents without redoing skills
  • 162+ Skills workflows and 152+ design systems; portable DESIGN.md keeps palette, type, and spacing on-brand
  • Outputs: interactive prototypes, landing pages, slide decks, dashboards, images, and HTML video (Cloud video generation coming soon)
  • Figma export or screenshot → extract brand into DESIGN.md under design-systems/ in your repo
  • Optional OpenDesign Cloud: Plus/Pro/Max with bundled model credits, online publishing, and higher concurrency—BYOK on every plan

Skip it when

  • You need a no-install browser tool today—Desktop plus local daemon and an agent are required
  • Free Desktop is BYOK only; without provider keys you need OpenDesign Cloud (entry GO tier has shown as unavailable)
  • You want live React-repo visual editing (Onlook/Subframe) or IDE-native .pen canvas (pen.dev)
  • You need a full-stack app factory (Softgen/Lovable) rather than design artifacts plus engineering handoff
  • Team real-time collab and SSO are not fully shipped yet—check the live roadmap before org rollout

Fits your workflow

Download Desktop free → connect your local agent (BYOK) → pick a template/skill or one-line brief → set visual direction → generate runnable files and preview in sandbox → export or hand off to engineering; add Cloud when you want bundled credits without managing keys. Brand choices accumulate in DESIGN.md so the next generation stays closer to your system.
