Claude-driven post creation
Use Claude to turn prompts into social posts without starting from a blank canvas. The homepage shows it generating a four-slide launch carousel from the site’s own codebase.
Redesign
Redesign is a free, open-source local design tool that lets Claude create branded LinkedIn and Instagram carousels from your own codebase. It runs with Claude Code on your machine and uses an MCP workflow to build and edit slides.
Overview
Redesign is a free, open-source design tool from Nodewave that lets Claude create social posts inside a local canvas editor. It is positioned for people who want branded LinkedIn and Instagram carousels without building each design by hand.
The workflow is built around your own codebase: Redesign scans the components, styles, and assets you already use, then lets Claude assemble slides from that material through an MCP server. The tool runs locally, uses Claude Code, and is MIT licensed, so the focus is on designing in your existing system rather than sending work to a separate cloud app.
Features
Codebase as style guide
Redesign pulls actual components from your codebase and uses them as the styling source for post layouts, including cards, buttons, icons, charts, colors, fonts, and spacing.
Reusable asset library
Save layers or compositions as reusable assets so later posts can reuse the same building blocks instead of recreating them from scratch.
Live preview and code editing
Preview the canvas live while Claude works, and edit the component code yourself if you want to make changes directly.
Local setup with Claude Code
Install with one terminal command that sets up the canvas app and registers the MCP with Claude Code.
Carousel-oriented output
Supports square and portrait aspect ratios for exports, which makes it usable for LinkedIn and Instagram carousel formats.
Use Cases
Brand-matched launch posts
Create a branded launch or announcement carousel using the components, colors, and typography already present in your site or app codebase.
Drafting and refining slides locally
Build a carousel in Claude Code, inspect the live preview, and adjust copy or layout with direct code edits when you want finer control.
Recurring content templates
Save a strong slide or composition as an asset and reuse it in later content so recurring post formats are faster to produce.
Private local workflow
Generate posts for LinkedIn or Instagram when you want a local workflow that keeps images, API keys, and edits on your machine.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Open source and MIT licensed, with local execution on the user’s machine.
- Uses the user’s own codebase as the style reference, which can reduce manual brand-matching work.

- Includes live preview and direct code editing for users who want more control.
- Supports asset reuse, so useful layouts can be carried into later posts.
Cons
- It requires Node.js 20+ and Claude Code, so it is not a standalone design app.
- The homepage is light on documentation for broader workflows, team usage, and supported integrations beyond Claude Code.
- Pricing details are not published on the pricing page; the linked page currently returns a 404.
FAQ
What is Redesign?
Redesign is a free, open-source local tool that lets Claude design LinkedIn and Instagram carousels. You describe the post, and Claude builds the slides in a canvas editor you control.
Is Redesign really free?
Yes. The tool is MIT licensed and runs on your machine. You pay Anthropic for your own Claude usage, not Nodewave.
What do I need to run it?
You need Node.js 20 or later and Claude Code installed. One terminal command sets up the rest.
Does anything upload to a server?
No. Redesign has no backend controlled by Nodewave. Your posts, images, and API key stay on your machine.
How does Claude edit the slides?
Claude edits the canvas through an MCP server that exposes the design as structured data. It can create layers, align elements, swap copy, and validate changes before saving.
