03Principles
Shared by every craft
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, so there’s nothing to relearn.
-
Your files, your machine
Everything runs locally on your own files. No cloud round-trips between you and your work.
-
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, PdfCraft, EffectCraft, DesignCraft, WordCraft, SoundCraft, DeckCraft, CADCraft, and GridCraft also compile to WebAssembly and run in a browser tab.
Open source · Free

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