Subframe is a design tool for your codebase, built on HTML and CSS. You design with the same primitives used to build the web. It brings the three tools you use to make software together in one place:
  • Canvas: design with HTML and CSS on an infinite canvas, with first-class support for React and Tailwind when they’re part of your stack
  • Browser: preview your live app, edit it visually, and capture it as a design
  • Agent: work with Claude Code, Codex, or Subframe AI credits across your designs, browser, and code
Use the desktop app to work with your local codebase, development server, and coding agent. Download it for macOS at subframe.com/downloads ↗.

How Subframe works

Subframe lets you go from design to code and back. Here’s a typical workflow:
1

Open your app

Open your local app in the built-in browser.
2

Edit it live

Use Inspect to change the running page visually.
3

Design on the canvas

Capture the page or an element as an editable design and explore bigger changes on the canvas.
4

Ship with the agent

Ask the agent to implement your design in your connected codebase.
