Starry

Overview

StARRy reDeFines the Workflow between product designers and frontend engineers by offering a local-first, AI-powered UI canvas desktop application. Unlike traditional tools that only generate static images, Starry creates fully editable user interfaces that can be instantly converted into production-grade code. By keeping data on your local machine and utilizing Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) model access, it ensures sensitive design assets remain SECure while bridging the gap between visual design and ACTual implementation.

What It Does

The platform allows users to describe a desired interface using natural language, after which an AI agent generates a high-fIDElity, editable UI canvas. This canvas supports automatic layout systems and design tokens. Crucially, Starry does not stop at visualization; it exports pixel-perfect React (JSX with Tailwind) or HTML code that developers can immediately integrate into their projects. It also features bidirectional compatibility with Figma, allowing seamless import and export of .fig files without losing layer structures or component styles.

Key Capabilities

• Natural language to UI: Generate complete pages like SaaS dashboards, marketing landing pages, or mobile app interfaces from simple text Prompts.
• code generation & Export: OuTPUt clean, editable React and HTML code that aligns perfectly with the Visual Design, reducing manual coding time.
• Figma integration: Import existing .fig files for editing and export changes back to Figma, maintaining a fluid collaboration loop between designers.
• MCP server Support: Connects with coding environments like Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code via the Model Context Protocol, enabling AI Agents to read and modify design files directly within the IDE.
• Local privacy: All model keys are stored locally, and no design files are uploaded to third-party servers, ensuring Data Sovereignty.
• CLI & CI/CD: Includes command-line tools for batch processing, style auditing, and integration into continuous deployment pipelines.

Who It Is For

Starry is ideal for frontend engineers looking to rAPIdly prototype MVPs, product designers who need to iterate quickly without waiting for code, and independent developers building SaaS APPlications. It is particularly useful for teams using AI coding assistants like Cursor who want to unify their design and coding workflows in a single environment.

How to Get Started

Users can download the macOS desktop client and configure their own API keys for supported large language models. Once set up, simply input a prompt to generate a UI canvas, refine it manually if needed, and export the code. For advanced workflows, enable the MCP server to link the tool with your preferred IDE.

Pricing and Access Caveat

Starry offers a permanent free veRSIon for bASIc file editing and code export without AI generation capabilities. The Pro subscription ($12/month) unlocks unliMITed AI prompting, real-time collaborative editing, and full MCP server functionality. An Enterprise tier is available for organizations requiring SSO and self-hosted solutions. Please note that the product is currently in early preview, primarily supporting macOS, and some complex layouts may require manual refinement.
