nexu-io/open-design Hits 80.3K Stars as the Apache-2.0 Answer to Claude Design — Local Desktop App, 25 CLI Backends, Real File Export

GitHub·high signal

open-design is a local-first macOS/Windows/Linux desktop app that turns your existing coding agent into a design engine, producing prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, slides, images, and video with real HTML/PDF/PPTX/MP4 export. It runs on 25 distinct local CLI executables — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Qwen, Copilot, Amp, Hermes, Kimi, Antigravity — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via BYOK. Apache-2.0 with no paid tier or usage limits; the only cost is your own model provider, which is the whole pitch against the hosted incumbent.
