Overview
ArtCraft (storytold GitHub org) is building a seven-app open-source creative suite in rust as clean-room alternatives to adobe tools — native desktop, WASM browser builds, MCP/JSON agent APIs.
Recent Developments
- 2026-10-04: Suite announced — PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, FilmCraft, LightCraft, PrintCraft, EffectCraft, DesignCraft (2026-10-04-artcraft-apps-rust-adobe-suite)
- No Electron; local-first; Metal/Vulkan/DX12/WebGPU rendering
- photocraft v0.1.1-rc.4 claims PSD/PSB round-trip (134/135 test files)
- Native installers forthcoming; build from source requires Rust 1.90+
Warning
Early alpha software. “Adobe compatible” means workflow/familiarity positioning and partial file format support — not feature parity with decades of Adobe development.
