About

Onlook is an open-source visual builder for web apps, aimed at ending the handoff friction between designers and developers. Product teams build production-ready apps by editing them visually, but code is the source of truth underneath, so there is no translation step where a design gets rebuilt.

Because the visual edits map directly to real code, designers, developers, and product people can all work on the same project without a conversion in between.

It is aimed at product teams that lose time and accuracy in the design-to-development handoff and want a single visual workflow where what a designer changes is what ships.

Why we picked it

Onlook earns its spot for eliminating the handoff itself — visual edits map directly to real code, so there's no separate rebuild step where a designer's intent drifts from what a developer actually ships. Worth it for teams tired of that translation gap specifically.
