Design your web app visually and sync with code instantly
Design on a canvas, generate code, and import or edit existing code. Real two-way sync, zero AI credit usage
One source of truth, updated in real time
Your design is saved as real production-ready code, with no export steps in between. Invisibly, in the background.
Build together
Designers and developers open the same Vue files. Designers edit the visual layout while developers build the logic. Every change gets saved to code.
Pixel-perfect in production
What you see on the canvas is exactly what gets published to production.
Local-first
Your project lives in a folder on your device. Not locked on a server you don't control.
No export steps, no AI credits
Your design is loaded from code and saved to code using predictable algorithms, with no steps in between - the code is your data format. You change the design, the code updates. Someone changes the code, your design updates.
Always up to date
Your project is a regular Git repository which you can share with the rest of your team. Pull the latest code changes from production and your design is updated instantly.
Share everything
Components, design tokens, even color space. All exactly the same for designers and developers: it's the same code.
Keep your design freedom
The same canvas, workflow, and tools you are used to.
Edit every style
Fine-grained control over every color, spacing, layout, and other styles.
Design tokens
Use Tailwind design tokens or select arbitrary styles for full freedom.
Freeform shapes
Drag shapes around and resize them freely on the canvas.
Auto-layout
Frames that resize and layout content automatically, with precise control over alignment and spacing.
Breakpoints and states
View breakpoints and states side-by-side and edit them separately.
Design together with AI
Your entire project is accessible locally on your device by any AI agent. All editable in standard Vue and Tailwind code.
Use any agent
Point any AI agent at the project folder on your device to make changes. Timeful automatically updates your design whenever changes are made to the code.
Your AI already knows Timeful
Timeful works with a regular Vue and Tailwind codebase. Everything is accessible as context, with no proprietery formats, frameworks, or servers in between.
Production-ready code,
yours to publish anywhere
Timeful saves regular code to a folder on your device. Nothing is locked behind an export or server.
The code for your designs is saved on your device as regular Vue components.
Publish or share your codebase anywhere. There is no custom code and no proprietary file formats that lock you in.
Timeful makes the minimal possible edits. If you change a style, only 1 line of code changes. Even existing code formatting is kept.
Push and pull your changes to Git to collaborate, or revert to a previous version.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
Which versions of Vue and Tailwind are supported?
Timeful fully supports Vue 3 using the composition API in Single-File-Components, as well as Tailwind CSS version 3.
Does Timeful work with build tools like Vite?
Yes, mostly. You can use any Vite setup in your project but Timeful will not be able to run every feature for designers working in Timeful. Timeful supports imports and aliases using Vite, but does not support importing WASM, Workers, or imports using custom plugins. If an import fails then Timeful will show an error and ignore it while you can keep editing.
Does Timeful work with frameworks like Nuxt?
Not yet.
What kind of Vue code does Timeful generate?
Timeful generates clean, formatted Vue code with Tailwind utility classes. It does not output messy, absolute-positioned "spaghetti code." It only modifies the template block and leaves your script block and logic untouched. Existing code formatting is kept and only the modified elements are reformatted.
Does Timeful work with React?
Not yet. The current version of Timeful works with Vue and Tailwind.
How does the two-way sync work with Git?
Timeful acts like a local visual IDE. When you make a change on the canvas, it writes directly to your local files. You commit and push those changes to your Git repository (on GitHub) using your existing workflow.
Does Timeful store our source code on its servers?
No. Your code stays in your local repository and your version control system. Timeful processes the visual rendering locally, ensuring your intellectual property and source code remain completely secure.
Can I import my existing designs directly from Figma?
No. While Timeful features a Figma-like interface to reduce the learning curve, it operates directly on Vue files rather than importing static design layers. You can use a Figma plugin to export your design to Vue code, or rebuild components while using your Figma file as reference.
Does Timeful support custom Tailwind configurations and plugins?
Not yet. Timeful uses the default Tailwind configuration.
