# Onlook ## Snapshot Onlook positions itself as “Cursor for Designers”: an open-source visual editor/visual IDE for creating, editing, deploying, and iterating on websites and web apps with code as the source of truth. Public materials emphasize designers and product teams working directly in real React/Next.js/Tailwind-style codebases, with AI assistance, an infinite canvas, visual element editing, design-system/token support, branching/version control, and optional self-hosting. ## Profile sections - Workflow starting point: prompt-to-new app, imported existing app/codebase, or team project/demo onboarding. - Output artifact: real web app/site code that can be exported, published to GitHub, hosted, or self-hosted. - Relationship to real codebase: explicit “design in the real codebase” / “code as source of truth” positioning; YC profile says users can import existing Next.js/Tailwind apps. - Design-system/token fidelity: team plan highlights bringing real components, centralized tokens, color palettes, typography, theming, and branding into Onlook. - Review/PR path: public pricing mentions branching and version control; detailed PR/review workflow not verified from public pages checked. - Security/code-access story: open-source/self-hostable; team plan advertises SSO, security controls, audit logs, admin controls, custom integrations, and dedicated support.
