Lona is a collection of tools from Airbnb for defining design systems in a JSON-based component format and generating cross-platform UI code, Sketch files, and other artifacts. It includes Lona Studio, a native macOS GUI for designing components, and Lona Compiler, a CLI for generating Swift and React code.
Use cases
- generate cross-platform UI code from a design system
- design components visually in a mac app
- export design system to Sketch files
- mock up app screens from existing components
- preview designs with real JSON or API data
- localize and export screenshots automatically
When to choose
- you maintain a design system shared across iOS and React platforms
- you want a single source of truth for components, colors, and text styles
- you need to generate Swift or React UI code from component definitions
When to avoid
- you need Android/Kotlin code generation today
- you require well-documented, production-hardened tooling
- you don't work on macOS, since Lona Studio is a Mac app
