Layrr
Layrr is an open-source visual editor that runs alongside your local development server and lets you design and edit real code in the browser. It provides live visual editing, design-to-code conversion from mockups, and natural-language driven UI generation while writing changes directly to your codebase. Layrr operates as a reverse proxy, injects browser scripts, and streams AI-driven suggestions via an integrated CLI workflow.
- Visual Editing - Drag, resize, and position elements in a browser-based canvas; edits update the local code in real time so you can iterate without leaving your development environment.
- Design-to-Code - Upload designs (Figma/Sketch or images) and generate framework-native components (React, Vue, Svelte) that integrate with your existing codebase.
- Quick Text Edits - Edit any text inline in the browser and have the change persist to your source files without manual file edits.
- Natural-Language UI Generation - Describe desired UI changes in plain English and Layrr’s AI-assisted workflows produce components or modifications that respect your chosen framework and styling conventions.
- Local-first Architecture - Runs as a CLI/binary that reverse-proxies your dev server, uses file watching and WebSocket streaming for instant updates, and preserves your repository ownership and deployment choices.
- Claude Code Integration - Streams JSON-based suggestions and transformations to produce maintainable code output while respecting your project structure.
To get started, install the Layrr binary via the provided install script or clone the repository, run the tool in the same terminal as your dev server, let your browser open, and begin editing visually. The project is licensed under AGPLv3 and is free to use and modify.
