7MB Open Source Tool OpenPencil Bypasses Figma Lock-in with Native AI Editor
JafarNajafov · x · 2026-08-13
The open-source project OpenPencil directly challenges Figma's pricing and ecosystem by reading and writing native .fig files, bypassing Figma's proprietary locks and read-only MCP server limitations.
Shipping as a 7MB desktop app, it features a built-in AI chat with over 100 tools for creating shapes, managing auto-layout, and extracting tokens. Users can bring their own API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI, etc.), and it offers a full CLI with XPath queries, linting, and HTML/CSS to .fig conversion.
