ARTCRAFT / NEW & NOTEWORTHY
ArtCraft Launcher brings Craft apps together and simplifies installation and updates. Alongside seven creative apps, the official repository lists office, CAD and audio tools.
Launcher 0.2.0 · Windows, macOS and Linux · free and open source. These new projects change quickly and are not yet verified full replacements for professional suites.
Craft apps are separate from the ArtCraft AI studio and its paid cloud services. CLI / MCP automation depends on each app.
