open-pencil
AI-native design editor with real-time collaboration, component system, and Figma-compatible file format.
open-pencil is an AI-native design editor that brings intelligent assistance directly into the creative workflow. It supports real-time collaboration, allowing multiple team members to work on the same design simultaneously. The tool features an advanced component system with auto-layout, variables, and styles, making it easy to maintain design consistency across projects.
One of open-pencil standout features is its Figma-compatible .fig file format support, enabling seamless import and export between tools. The built-in AI capabilities assist with design suggestions, bulk operations, and automating repetitive tasks.
The editor runs entirely in the browser with no desktop app required, though self-hosting options are available for teams that need full control over their infrastructure. It uses a modern tech stack combining TypeScript for the core editor, Vue.js for the UI, and Rust for performance-critical operations.
