Beating AI Express: ArtCraft founder Brandon Thomas has leveraged Claude Opus 5.5 to open-source seven alternatives to Adobe’s creative software, all built entirely from scratch in Rust. The tools are: 1. PhotoCraft: Photoshop alternative for image editing 2. VectorCraft: Illustrator alternative for vector design 3. FilmCraft: Premiere Pro alternative for video editing 4. LightCraft: Lightroom alternative for photo management and color grading 5. EffectCraft: After Effects alternative for video effects and animation 6. DesignCraft: InDesign alternative for desktop publishing 7. PdfCraft: Acrobat Pro alternative for PDF editing and processing All seven apps are free and open-source, developed for macOS, Windows, Linux, and web browsers. They aim to closely replicate Adobe’s interfaces, tools, and keyboard shortcuts, and support integration with AI agents via MCP, enabling tools like Claude to directly operate the software and modify files. However, the applications remain in early development. While PhotoCraft covers all of Photoshop’s menu commands, Thomas admits its functionality is less than 50% equivalent to Adobe’s tool. Testing shows basic features like cutout and color grading work, but operations such as free transform remain unstable. Many users on Hacker News have also reported missing features and operational issues. Thomas initially claimed he would achieve feature parity with Adobe within a month, later revising that timeline to months for near-complete functionality. He acknowledged the software is far from mature, inviting community contributions for fixes, and plans to offer bug bounties.
