Open Design: Free Local Alternative to Claude Design

Open Design takes a text prompt and returns a working prototype backed by 71 brand-grade design systems — Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Airbnb, Tesla, Notion, and more. It hit 18K GitHub stars in five days and is already running in production teams.

Step 1: Clone and Install Open Design

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

bash
git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design.git
cd open-design
npm install

No account, no API key, no subscription required.

Step 2: Start the Local Server

Run the dev server:

bash
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You now have a fully local design-to-prototype environment.
