This is one of 9 projects from storytold that each passed 5,000 stars within weeks of launch (171.5k stars in total). That pattern can come from bought or automated stars. How star watch works.

What you can do with it

  • Design app and website screens using frames, auto layout, components and variants
  • Build clickable prototypes with transitions and flows, then hand over to developers with Dev Mode
  • Export designs as SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF, or drive the app from scripts and AI agents

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer paid website or app interface design and prototyping services, using FigCraft in place of a paid design tool.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Design websites, app screens and mock-ups for clients without paying for a design tool subscription
  • Create prototypes to test product ideas with customers before paying for development

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

The visible README does not include the install steps, but as a Rust project it is likely built from source with Cargo or installed from a download on the project site.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Described as a clean-room reimplementation, so features and file compatibility with other design tools are best effort
  • Opening .fig files is only best effort
  • Install instructions were not visible in the README provided
  • Real-time collaboration needs you to run your own figcraft-server

Hidden gem

pngdeer is a lossy PNG compressor that chooses the quality for each image itself, so there is no quality slider to set. It makes PNG files smaller while keeping them looking the same, and runs from the command line or in a web browser.
