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.
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.
A desktop app for Mac and Windows. Maude Cloud also opens in the browser.Desktop app for Mac and Windows, free and open-source. Watch the 1-minute introMake a pricing page with three plans. Use Tereza's yearly note.
Three cards on the Pricing artboard, monthly and yearly side by side.
AI is drawing the pricing cardsDone. Pricing has three plans, and the yearly price sits under each monthly one.
Voice and music are AI-generated.

Colours, type and components come from your own system. New work is checked against it, so drafts stay on brand.
Invite people to a project. They leave stickies and comments in Preview, and you present straight from the canvas.
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.
Flyers, posters and business cards, exported as PDFs a print shop will accept.
A design is real code, so buttons click, forms type and a whole user flow plays, before anyone builds it.
Preview, Edit and Present in one switch. Your artboards, full screen, straight from the canvas.
Everyone in the same version at once: cursors, stickies and comments that stay where you put them.
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.
Generate pictures, clips, music, voiceover and subtitles with your own AI key, placed right on the canvas.
Import a Figma file, no Figma account needed. Fonts and boards come along, and artboards turn editable.
Adjust and retouch photos right on the canvas, or remove a background in one click.
Images, documents, slides, video, Lottie animations, or a handoff a developer can drop into the app.
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.
Each canvas is a .tsx file a developer can ship.
Every change is kept, with Restore.
The same software, on your own box.
MIT license, no telemetry, no signup.
Most design tools keep your work in their own format. Only their app can open it. Leave, and the work stays behind.
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.
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.
So the design is already the real thing. A developer ships it as it is, instead of rebuilding it from a picture.
The Mac app runs on two Claude Code plugins and a CLI. Use them on their own, with the same files and the same design system.
