Ask Maude
A scripted demo. In the app, the AI runs on your own Claude account.

A design canvas built around AI, not bent to fit one. Draw it yourself or ask AI. Every design is a real file, in a project that is yours.

Why Maude

A real canvas and a real AI. Finally on speaking terms.

From design tools

A real canvas

  • Artboards for apps, web pages, social, print and video
  • Shape, Pen, Text, Frame and Components
  • Stickies, comments and Present
From Claude

An AI that does the work

  • Select anything, press ⌘/, say what you want
  • It draws on the artboard while you watch
  • One ⌘Z takes back a whole AI run
Maude

Both, and the work stays yours

  • Every design is a real file, not a cloud blob
  • Your design system checks new work
  • Version history with Restore, on every canvas
  • Free to self-host, the same software
Works with what you already use:Your own Claude account Claude CodeGit and GitHubCodex
How it feels

Feels like a design tool. Works like a teammate.

Draw it, or ask for it

The tools you expect are all there. When typing is faster than drawing, ask AI about the thing you selected.

Your design system, on every artboard

Colours, type and components come from your own system. New work is checked against it, so drafts stay on brand.

Share a link, talk on the canvas

Invite people to a project. They leave stickies and comments in Preview, and you present straight from the canvas.

What Maude can do

One canvas. Screens, reels,
slides and print.

AI video editing

Drop in raw clips. AI watches them, picks the good moments and cuts a reel with captions, music and transitions. Then fine-tune it on a timeline.

Print-ready

Flyers, posters and business cards, exported as PDFs a print shop will accept.

Interactive prototypes

A design is real code, so buttons click, forms type and a whole user flow plays, before anyone builds it.

Present

Preview, Edit and Present in one switch. Your artboards, full screen, straight from the canvas.

Work together, live

Everyone in the same version at once: cursors, stickies and comments that stay where you put them.

A design system from a moodboard

Describe your brand. AI researches the field, shows moodboard directions to pick from, then builds the colours, type, components and logo. Critics check it before you see it.

AI images, music and voice

Generate pictures, clips, music, voiceover and subtitles with your own AI key, placed right on the canvas.

Bring your Figma work

Import a Figma file, no Figma account needed. Fonts and boards come along, and artboards turn editable.

Photo editing

Adjust and retouch photos right on the canvas, or remove a background in one click.

Export anywhere

Images, documents, slides, video, Lottie animations, or a handoff a developer can drop into the app.

It's yours

Like Figma. Except it's yours.

Canvases are plain files in a folder you own. Keep them on your Mac, in Git, or in Maude Cloud, and take them with you whenever you want.

Real files

Each canvas is a .tsx file a developer can ship.

Version history

Every change is kept, with Restore.

Self-host for free

The same software, on your own box.

Open-source

MIT license, no telemetry, no signup.

No secret file format

Good ol' HTML.
The AI knows it best.

  1. 1

    Most design tools keep your work in their own format. Only their app can open it. Leave, and the work stays behind.

  2. 2

    Maude saves designs as web code, the way the web has been written for 30 years. HTML and CSS, the stuff every website is made of, in React's HTML-like format.

  3. 3

    That's the language AI grew up on. It has read more web pages than anyone ever will. Ask for a change and it isn't decoding a strange file. It's writing in its mother tongue.

  4. 4

    So the design is already the real thing. A developer ships it as it is, instead of rebuilding it from a picture.
