We built Lindi because we were tired of paying monthly rent on tools that kept our own work behind their login. Lindi is a design and development tool your team owns outright — the file, the code, the record. This page explains why we think that matters; the rest of the site shows it working.
When you rent a tool, nothing you put into it is really yours. You set up your libraries, teach the team its shortcuts, pile up years of files — and the day you stop paying, the door locks with all of it inside. The monthly invoice never bought you the tool. It bought you permission to keep visiting your own work.
That might be fine for a tool you open twice a year. A design canvas isn't that. It's where your team spends the working day — where drafts pile up, where arguments get settled in the comments, where every decision leaves a record. The place all of that lives shouldn't come with an eviction clause. Somehow, one seat at a time, we all signed one anyway.
Owning means something specific here, so let's be specific. The file is yours: it opens without asking a server for permission. The code is yours: what you design gets committed to your repo, under your review. The record is yours: every comment, version, and decision stays on your side of the wall. Nothing about your work should live behind someone else's login.
The same goes for the AI. You shouldn't have to keep re-explaining your product to your own tools — pasting context into a chat window that forgets it by tomorrow. Lindi's agent lives in the file. It already knows your components, your variables, your comment threads, and it proposes edits the way a careful colleague would: itemized, structured, easy to review. It runs on your API key, so even the meter is yours.
And none of this asks you to start over. Bring the app you already run, and Lindi lifts the design layer out of it — every screen, style, and interaction — while the code underneath stays exactly as your engineers left it. Design work can't break it, and your developers can keep building on all of it, back end included. Rework the surface, then merge it back to your own repo as changes you can review. That's the whole idea in miniature: sooner or later, a team doing serious work looks up from the canvas, sees the meter running on its own drafts, and decides its tools should—
—belong to it outright. That's the whole argument. Ownership isn't a plan tier and it isn't a discount; it's the simple guarantee that your work survives your vendor. The rest of this site is the evidence — the capabilities, the modes, the extraction, the merge, each one shown working. Take your time with it, and keep the numbers in view.
We're a small team that spent years working inside rented canvases, keeping notes on everything wrong with the arrangement. This site is those notes, cleaned up and published. We're pre-launch, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up: the site ships before the product, so every claim is in writing where you can hold us to it.
No names or bios yet — those belong on the release, not before it.
We count sign-ups in the order they arrive — no invented numbers, no jumping the line. The sooner you sign up, the sooner your turn comes.
