01
Most software gets designed twice: first as a picture, then again in code. That's where the intent gets lost. Modeinspect is an AI-powered design canvas that lets you work with the real thing from the start. Connect your codebase, open an existing screen, and design using your actual components, tokens, live data, states, and breakpoints. You can explore variations with AI, keep the details that matter, and when you're ready, publish your changes live or send them to engineering for review. You stay in control of when things go live. The canvas isn't the destination; the product is. Modeinspect bridges the gap between design and development, so what you see is truly what you get.
02
Sliick lets you turn screenshots and videos into beautiful 3D device mockups right in your browser. Pick a scene, customize shapes and colors, adjust the camera angle, and add motion to make it feel alive. You can export images or videos for free, with no account and no watermark. Your media stays on your device, so you keep full control. Made by Liinks.
03
ABrush brings the latest AI models and production-ready advanced workflows right into the tools where artists already work. We use AI to take over repetitive production tasks, speed up iteration, and free up more time for creative decisions. The artist stays in full control of the final result. AI accelerates the process and cuts the cost of routine work. Created by artists, for artists, so it actually fits the way you create.
04
Resurf is a personal context app for the things you like, care about, and work on. You can save notes, links, images, PDFs, and ideas all in one place. Later, you can find them easily or hand that context to AI through MCP and CLI. It works natively on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and keeps everything in local storage with private iCloud sync.
05
SHIUI is a flat ink UI kit that takes inspiration from Hinomaru Japanese posters. It uses a clean palette of paper, sumi, and vermilion, with zero shadows. The design is bold and minimal, giving your interface a distinct, artistic feel that stands out from the usual modern look. It's perfect for projects that want a touch of Japanese aesthetics without losing usability.
06
appdesigns is a free, in-browser editor for App Store and Google Play screenshots. Drop in your screens, frame them in the latest iPhone, iPad, or Mac, add headlines, backgrounds, and stickers, and export at the exact sizes App Store Connect asks for. You can design the whole set side by side, tilt and scale devices, or start from a community template. Unlimited exports, no watermark, and no account needed to start.
