The first open-source design and prototyping platform. Figma alternative that respects your privacy and gives you full control.
Why it works
- SVG-native: Your designs are real SVG files, not proprietary formats
- Real-time collaboration: Multiplayer editing like Figma
- Design systems: Tokens, components, and shared libraries
- No vendor lock-in: Export to any format, migrate anywhere
- Self-hosted: Keep your design assets on your infrastructure
What you lose
- Figma’s extensive plugin ecosystem
- Some advanced prototyping features
- Native mobile app (web-only)
