About Subframe
Overview
Subframe is an AI-native design tool that builds interfaces with real, code-ready components rather than mockups. Designers create pages visually and engineers pull production React and Tailwind CSS code directly into their projects.
The tool pairs a drag-and-drop canvas with an AI assistant that generates pages, themes, and components, and it connects to coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code through MCP and Skills.
Key Benefits
- Insert, drag, duplicate, and edit inline with every layer mapped directly to code
- Export pixel-perfect React and Tailwind CSS code without using AI
- Sync components to your codebase with a single CLI command
- Collaborate in real time with multiplayer editing and layer comments
- Teach the AI your components, style, and product for personalized output
- Protect your designs — Subframe does not use them to train the AI
How It Works
Designers build interfaces on a responsive canvas with auto layout and mobile support, using components synced with code. Engineers then run npx @subframe/cli sync to pull the styled components into their IDE and add business logic. The AI assistant can also generate pages, themes, and components, or insert inline as needed.
Use Cases
- Designers build visually with the same components used in production
- Engineers pull styled React and Tailwind code and focus on business logic
- Teams connect the design system to AI coding agents in Cursor and Claude Code
- Startups and freelancers prototype interactive pages quickly and ship them
- Product teams share annotated interactive prototypes that match the product
- Developers prompt new designs directly from their IDE with codebase context
