Design Editor 0.1.0

First release of Design Editor: a local-first, AI-native vector design editor in Rust. AI agents design on the live canvas over MCP.

Download

• macOS (Apple Silicon): Design-Editor-0.1.0-arm64-mac.dmg. Open it and drag Design Editor to Applications. The de CLI ships inside the app (Design Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/de).
• Windows x64: not in this release; automated macOS + Windows releases are tracked in #41.

Verify the download with shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt.

First launch on macOS

The app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. macOS blocks the first open: right-click the app → Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Connect an agent

The live MCP endpoint is http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp. For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http design-editor http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp

In this release

• Renamed from OpenPencil to Design Editor (design-editor app, de CLI) (#24).
• Shader fills get a live time uniform for animated SkSL.
• Turkish UI, listed first; the system language is detected on first launch.
• MCP edits now bring the canvas forward instead of leaving Home on screen (#3).
• Dependency security updates (rustls-webpki, webpki roots).
