Layerkit
A pixel-accurate design tool that ships real components, free forever.
Business · Obsidian & Amber · Archivo Black / Archivo · motion editorial
Design at the pixel. Ship the component.
A canvas that snaps to a four-pixel grid and exports code that matches it. No handoff, no redlines, no dependency you did not choose.
- No credit card
- Free forever
- Open source core

The system
Pixel-accurate design system
Every token, spacing step and radius lives on a four-pixel grid, and the export honours it
Zero dependency
Exported components import nothing but React. Swap the framework and the export follows
Dark mode first
Every component is drawn in both themes at once, and both are tested before you see them
Three steps to production
Install the system
One command adds the tokens and the base components to your repository
Compose your UI
Draw on the canvas, or write it, and both stay in sync
Ship to production
Export is a pull request. Review it like any other
One quote
01 / 01
The first tool where what the designer drew is what the browser rendered. Our handoff meeting is gone.
Live
Real-time collaboration
Cursors, comments and edits from the whole team, on the same canvas, with no lag we can measure
Version control
Every change is a commit. Branch a design, merge it, or revert to Tuesday
Plugin ecosystem
Four hundred plugins, written in TypeScript against a documented API, reviewed before listing
