Granular
A portfolio that's actually live
Your case studies, your type, your colors, turned into a real site on your own domain.
Turn my case studies folder into a portfolio site at mayalin.studio
The AI terminal for designers.
You already know exactly how it should look. Granular gives you a whole team of AI agents in one window. Plug in the Claude or Codex you already use and it builds the real thing, live in the preview, so what you design is what ships. No handoff, no waiting on a developer.
Free to download. Plug in your existing AI subscriptions and tools.
Sound familiar?
Designer life, minus the waiting.
01
Your best work lives in a mockup.
It looks perfect in the file. Then it sits in a queue for a developer.
Describe it once and watch it become a real, working page you can click.
02
Handoff eats the details.
The spacing drifts, the type gets swapped, the hover state disappears.
You art-direct the build yourself. Point at what's off and it gets fixed in the preview.
03
The boring bits take all day.
Exporting, renaming, resizing, compressing. Again. For every client.
Hand the grunt work to an agent and get back to the part you love.
How it works
A studio, not a chat.
Brief it once. Your boss agent hands the pieces to worker agents, each in its own copy of your project, and reports back when it's done.
- Brief it like a developerDrop in your files and say what you want. No commands, no code.
- Your boss agent builds a teamIt splits the job and gives each worker one piece, all running at once.
- Art-direct, then shipWatch the preview update as you go, then publish to your domain or your client's.

Your first week
What designers ship first.
Each of these starts as one sentence. Here's the sentence.
A prototype you can click
From a screenshot or an exported frame to a working prototype you can share with a link.
Build a clickable prototype from these onboarding screens
Every asset, every size
Export, rename and compress a whole folder of images and icons at the sizes you need.
Export every icon as SVG and PNG at 1x, 2x and 3x, compressed
A brand guide, as a real system
Colors, type and spacing pulled out of the PDF into tokens and components you can reuse.
Turn brand-guide.pdf into design tokens and a style page
The client's landing page
Built from your design, previewed together, then published to the client's own domain.

Who it's for
Every kind of designer.
In-house, agency, freelance or somewhere in between. Here's the kind of thing they ask for.
Why designers pick it
Your AI, your files, your call.
Bring the AI you already use
Your Claude, your Codex, your Gemini, side by side, and switch any time. No new AI subscription to justify.
See it while it's built
A live preview sits next to the chat, so you judge the work with your eyes, not by reading code.
Own everything
Real files on your own computer. No lock-in, no rented sandbox.
No markup on your AI
You pay your AI provider directly, at their price.
Skills in one click
Install ready-made skills and agents from the marketplace, then use them in every project.
Client keys, kept safe
Hosting logins and API keys live in an encrypted vault, never in plain files.
From a designer who builds
Granular is where all my side projects actually get built.
I run a whole team of AI agents from one app, switch models on the fly, and keep a shared brain across every project. Ideas I used to just daydream about now actually ship.
As a designer who builds on the side, it's the first tool that genuinely keeps up with me. It's become my default for anything I want to make with AI.

Questions designers ask.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You tell Granular what you want and its agents build it, with a live preview so you see every step. The code is still real and still yours, so a developer can pick it up any time.
Can it match my design exactly?
It gets close fast, and you art-direct the rest. Give it your exported frames, screenshots, fonts and brand colors, then point at what's off: tighter spacing, heavier headline, that exact orange. Every change shows up in the preview, and you keep going until it's right.
Does it work with Figma?
Granular doesn't have a Figma plugin. Your agents work from anything you can put in a folder: exported frames, screenshots, SVGs, PDFs and brand guides. They can also connect to other tools through MCP, the standard way AI agents plug into apps.
Is Granular an AI?
No. Granular is where your AI works. You sign in with the Claude, Codex or Gemini account you already have, and Granular gives it tools, a memory of your project, and a screen you can watch.
What does it cost?
Granular is free to download and use with one team of agents (a boss plus two workers) across 2 projects. Pro removes every limit from $12.99 a month, $129 a year, or $259 once. You pay your AI provider directly; we never resell tokens or add a markup. See pricing.
Will I own what gets built?
Yes. Everything is created as real files on your own computer and published to your own domains and accounts, or your client's. There is no lock-in and no rented sandbox.
Are my client files private?
Granular runs on your computer and your files stay there. Your agents use your own AI account, and API keys live in an encrypted vault instead of plain files.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. Granular runs on Mac and Windows. Windows is in beta and gets every update the same day as Mac. Download for Mac or Windows.

Design it. Ship it. Same afternoon.
Download free, bring the AI you already use, and give it a team. Your first design can be live before the next review.
