FigCraft

FigCraft is the UI design counterpart: frame-based layout, auto layout with fill and hug sizing, component variants, theme variables and clickable prototypes — self-hosted instead of on a priced per-seat cloud.

In the maintainer's words

“FigCraft: interface design and prototyping; an open-source, clean-room reimplementation of collaborative design workflows in pure Rust”— repository description, github.com/storytold/figcraft

What FigCraft is built to do

  • Frames, constraints and auto layout
  • Component variants and properties
  • Theme variables with modes (light/dark)
  • Prototype flows and interactions
  • Design tokens and shared styles
  • Self-hostable companion server build

These are the workflow areas the project targets. Implementation status changes release to release — confirm against the repository before relying on a specific behaviour.

What changed in FigCraft v0.7.0

  • Copy and paste work through the system clipboard in the browser build.
  • The server build keeps each team library version in its own file.
  • A slice's export preview shows the page content underneath it, and gradient-type icons show their gradient.
  • The RPM declares a glibc 2.35 floor, so RHEL 9 refuses the package instead of failing at runtime.

Summarised from the release notes upstream published on 2026-10-18. Read the full list on the FigCraft v0.7.0 release page ↗.

FigCraft is distributed by its own maintainers through GitHub releases. Nothing here is re-hosted, mirrored or repackaged, which is exactly why these links stay current when a new build lands.

FigCraft FAQ

Can FigCraft replace Figma for a product team?

The gap is multiplayer and handoff, not drawing. Evaluate it against your own workflow: if you live in comments, dev-mode links and third-party plugins, budget for those losses.

What is figcraft-server?

A companion build in the same GitHub release — figcraft-server tarballs for Linux x86_64 and aarch64 — for running the collaborative side yourself. v0.7.0's fix that keeps each team library version in its own file lives on that side.

Does it import .fig files?

Do not assume it. Test on a real file, and keep the source available for reference while migrating.
