SCREENSHOTS:
DesignCraft
DESCRIPTION:
DesignCraft is an open-source desktop publishing and page layout application built in Rust that provides an alternative to Adobe InDesign for creating professional print and digital publications. The software features a familiar design interface with tools for managing page spreads, text frames, images, typography, colors, and document layouts. It supports advanced text composition with threaded text frames, multi-column layouts, automatic hyphenation, paragraph and character styles, text wrapping, and precise typographic controls. DesignCraft includes parent pages, layers, reusable styles, color swatches, and support for importing and exporting Adobe InDesign Markup Language (IDML) files. The application also provides a command-line interface, JSON control channel, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allow AI agents to create, edit, and automate publication layouts. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and web browsers, DesignCraft supports PDF, PNG, and EPUB exports
