ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
4 hours ago
- ArtCraft offers seven native, open-source creative apps built from scratch in Rust and free to use.
- The apps cover image editing (PhotoCraft), vector illustration (VectorCraft), video editing (FilmCraft), photo library and raw development (LightCraft), PDF workbench (PrintCraft), motion graphics and VFX (EffectCraft), and page layout and publishing (DesignCraft).
- All apps are open source under permissive licenses on GitHub, compiled as native desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux with no Electron or web views.
- They are designed to be familiar to professionals with layouts, tools, and shortcuts already known, and run locally on your own files with no cloud dependency.
- Each app is agent-ready, supporting CLI, JSON control channel, or MCP server for automation and AI integration.
- Most apps also compile to WebAssembly and run in browsers, and the community can follow development and test early builds via the ArtCraft Discord.
