Start with this look

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
Vibrant workstation setup for photo editing with RGB lighting and large monitor displaying an edited portrait.

The system

  1. Pixel-accurate design system

    Every token, spacing step and radius lives on a four-pixel grid, and the export honours it

  2. Zero dependency

    Exported components import nothing but React. Swap the framework and the export follows

  3. Dark mode first

    Every component is drawn in both themes at once, and both are tested before you see them

Three steps to production

  1. Install the system

    One command adds the tokens and the base components to your repository

  2. Compose your UI

    Draw on the canvas, or write it, and both stay in sync

  3. Ship to production

    Export is a pull request. Review it like any other
