OpenDesign is an open-source, local-first desktop application that turns coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and DeepSeek Harness into a design engine for prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, slides, images, and video. It is BYOK, Apache-2.0 licensed, and exports real files (HTML/PDF/PPTX/MP4) governed by portable design systems.
Use cases
- generate landing pages from a one-line brief using my coding agent
- create slide decks and presentations with AI
- build interactive prototypes without Figma
- keep all marketing visuals on-brand with a shared design system
- generate dashboards from prompts locally
- use Claude Code or Codex as a design engine
- export designs to HTML, PDF, PPTX, or MP4 files
When to choose
- you want an open-source, local-first alternative to Claude Design or Figma AI workflows
- you already run coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) and want them to produce design artifacts
- you need data to stay on-device with BYOK and file-based outputs you own
When to avoid
- you need collaborative, hand-drawn vector editing like traditional Figma or Sketch
- you cannot install Node.js 24 and run a local daemon, or prefer a fully hosted zero-setup tool
- you require pixel-perfect print or professional design production pipelines
