Tell us what to rebuild next, test early builds and follow development with the team in the ArtCraft Discord.

Every Crafting App is written from scratch in Rust and held to the same rules.

Every line is on GitHub under permissive licenses. Read it, fork it, build on it.

Pure Rust compiled to real desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. No Electron, no web views.

Layouts, tools and shortcuts that working professionals already know, so there's nothing to relearn.

Everything runs locally on your own files. No cloud round-trips between you and your work.

Drive every app from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server, built for automation and AI agents.

PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, LightCraft, PrintCraft, EffectCraft, and DesignCraft also compile to WebAssembly and run in a browser tab.

Early builds, roadmaps and the people making the Crafting Apps all live in the ArtCraft Discord.
