About

Recto is a native AI design tool that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It lets you design on a real canvas with mouse editing, powered by models like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode. The app also supports turning concepts into 3D and motion graphics directly within the same workspace.

The case

Who it is for

Designers and developers who need a native desktop AI design tool that supports real canvas editing and 3D/motion creation.

What is broken today

Designers often rely on web-based tools that lack real-time AI integration or native desktop performance, making it hard to iterate quickly on complex 3D or motion projects.

What it does about it

Recto provides a native desktop environment where users can design on a real canvas, edit with a mouse, and leverage multiple AI models to generate code and assets, then export or animate them in 3D.

Why not the obvious alternative

Unlike web-based design apps, Recto runs natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux, supports multiple AI models out of the box, and allows direct 3D and motion creation within the same canvas.
