ArtCraft Crafting Apps

The team behind ArtCraft, an open-source AI image and video studio, launched seven free native desktop apps written in Rust on 7 October, each a clean-room take on an Adobe tool: PhotoCraft (Photoshop, with PSD support), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere Pro), LightCraft (photo library and RAW), a PDF workbench, EffectCraft (motion graphics) and DesignCraft (page layout). They run fully locally, most are early alpha or still in development, and the repos are Apache-2.0 on GitHub, where PhotoCraft gathered 42,961 stars in 11 days. The apps are not AI features themselves; the AI link is ArtCraft's own studio and press reports that they were built with AI assistance.
