Built the hard way
Every Crafting App is written from scratch in Rust and held to the same rules:
- Open source — Every line is on GitHub under permissive licenses. Read it, fork it, build on it.
- Native, not wrapped — Pure Rust compiled to real desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. No Electron, no web views.
- Familiar from day one — Layouts, tools and shortcuts that working professionals already know.
- Your files, your machine — Everything runs locally on your own files. No cloud round-trips.
- Agent-ready — Drive every app from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server, built for automation and AI agents.
- Also in your browser — PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, LightCraft, PrintCraft, EffectCraft, and DesignCraft also compile to WebAssembly and run in a browser tab.
