About Design Mode

A free, open-source browser (Chrome + Firefox) extension that turns any website into a live design surface. Edit layout, type, colour, spacing and structure with visual controls — then ship the result straight to Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding agent over MCP. No mock files, no copy-paste.
