This FREE Open Source Version Is Better? **[YouTube](https://daily.dev/sources/youtube)** · 7 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Open Design is a free, open-source alternative to Anthropic's Claude Design tool. Unlike Claude Design, which is cloud-only and locked to Anthropic's models and pricing, Open Design is local-first, Apache 2.0 licensed, and works by layering a design interface on top of existing coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others. It auto-detects 15 coding agent CLIs, includes 71 brand-grade design systems (Apple, Stripe, Linear, etc.), and exports to HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, MP4, ZIP, and Markdown. The walkthrough covers setup via Git clone and PNPM, and demonstrates building a landing page for roughly $1.20 in API costs in under 5 minutes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
