Why Starry

Built for the AI design loop

AI-Driven Canvas

Powered by the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). Chat directly with the canvas. AI natively reads, writes, and generates auto-layout design systems from natural language.

From design to production code

Layout, spacing, and style tokens transfer exactly as designed — pixel-perfect React, Vue, Svelte, or HTML.

Model Context Protocol

Starry speaks MCP natively. Connect any AI coding assistant or editor, and turn natural language into precise UI code without ever leaving your setup.

Starry vs the competition

Compare Starry with Figma, Stitch & Sketch

Figma is a collaborative design canvas; Starry is AI-native — you describe an interface in plain language and it generates an editable, auto-layout UI, then exports production-ready code (React, Vue, Svelte, HTML). Starry also imports native .fig files, so you can keep working in either tool.

For UI generation and code handoff, yes. Starry turns prompts into real components and ships clean code your project owns. It also imports your existing Figma files, so you're never locked in. Teams that need Figma's full design-review workflow can use both via Starry's Figma sync.

Both generate UI from prompts. Starry goes further: it exports editable React/Vue/Svelte/HTML, imports Figma, and runs an MCP server so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) read and write your canvas. Stitch outputs code snippets but has no Figma import or MCP.

Sketch is a native Mac design app you license per editor. Starry is AI-first: prompt-to-UI plus direct code export and MCP for your editor. Sketch has no built-in AI and no MCP server, though it runs fully on your Mac.

Yes. Starry exports clean, production-ready code in React, Vue, Svelte, and HTML, with pixel-perfect layout parity to the canvas. The code is yours — drop it into your project, no lock-in.
