The open alternative to Claude Design
for prototypes from any agent

Reviewers comment on your prototype without a Claude account, and each update keeps the same URL. Display holds HTML prototypes from Claude Design, Cursor, Codex or any other agent. It does not make the design.

Answer

Should I use Claude Design or Display?

Use Display to hold a prototype while people review it. Each update keeps the same URL, and an invited reviewer comments without a Claude account. Solo and higher plans open and restore earlier versions. Keep Claude Design to make the design. Every Claude plan includes it. Anthropic says that the standalone version at claude.ai/design closes on December 14, 2026, and that public links to its projects stop working after it closes. To keep a prototype at a link that reviewers can open, export it as standalone HTML and publish it to Display.

What Claude Design does and what Display adds

Claude Design makes the design. Display holds the prototype after it is made. They differ in which agents can publish, what happens to earlier versions and who can comment.

One place for prototypes from every agent your team uses

Ana designs in Claude Design. Maya and Ben build prototypes in Cursor and Codex. Display holds all of them, private until you share them.

Any agent publishes, and reviewers need no Claude account

Publish from the agent you use, change agents later, and invite reviewers by email.

Publishes from
  1. 01

    Any agent publishes

    Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent publishes an HTML prototype through the CLI, MCP or the API. A Claude Design prototype goes in as its standalone HTML export.

  2. 02

    Change agents, keep the prototype

    A different agent updates the same prototype at the same URL. Comments stay, each version shows who published it, and you can download the source at any time. Solo and higher plans open and restore earlier versions.

  3. 03

    Reviewers need no Claude account

    An invited reviewer signs in with a one-time password sent to their email address, selects text on the prototype and comments. Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan.

Comments become the next version

Reviewers comment on the prototype. Your agent reads the comments and publishes the next version at the same URL, so the link you sent still opens the current prototype.

A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.

Each prototype is private until you share it

Choose who can open one prototype, a folder or a whole Space.

  1. Private by default

    Every prototype stays private until you share it with people and groups.

  2. One-click sign-in for colleagues

    On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.

  3. Invite clients and partners

    Invite people outside your company by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.

  4. Know who opened it

    On Team and Business, see who opened which prototype, and when, before you follow up.

Claude Design or Display?

Many teams use both. Claude Design makes the design. Display holds the prototype while people review it.

Use Claude Design if

  • You need Claude to create the design from a prompt, with your organization's design system.
  • You want to change the design by hand on a canvas, or have Claude make the change from an inline comment.
  • You need a PPTX, PDF or Google Slides file, or want to send the design to Canva, Miro, Lovable or v0.
  • Everyone who comments is in your Claude organization, or has a Claude account you can invite by email.

Use Display if

  • You need to open and restore earlier versions of a prototype.
  • Cursor or Codex also build your prototypes, and you want them in one place.
  • Clients or colleagues without a Claude account need to comment.
  • Cursor, Codex or Claude Code must read the comments and publish the next version at the same URL.

Before you publish a Claude Design prototype

What happens when claude.ai/design closes on 14 December 2026?

Anthropic says that the standalone version at claude.ai/design will close on December 14, 2026, and will then be read-only. It says that chats and comments cannot move to Claude, and that public links to projects in the standalone version stop working after it closes. Anthropic offers a move into Claude, which is rolling out gradually to paid plans, and a .zip copy of each project. Read Anthropic's guide for the steps. To keep a prototype at a link that reviewers can open, export it as standalone HTML and publish it to Display.

Claude Design is included in my Claude plan. Why add Display?

Keep Claude Design to make the design. Every Claude plan includes it, and it uses the same usage limits as the rest of Claude. Add Display when you need earlier versions, comments from people without a Claude account, or one place for prototypes from other agents. Display Free costs $0 and includes three gated documents. Solo costs $12 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly. Team costs $79 a month, or $59 a month billed yearly, for up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan.

Who can open and comment on a prototype?

A new prototype is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. To comment, a person signs in and needs Commenter access or higher. A visitor on a public link who has not signed in can read but cannot comment. Every plan includes unlimited Viewers and Commenters.

Do reviewers need an account?

They need no Claude account. To read, an invited reviewer enters a one-time password sent to their email address. To comment, they sign in to a free Display account the same way. On Solo and higher plans, colleagues can also sign in with Google or Microsoft.

Does Display use my content to train AI models?

No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model.

Which plans keep version history?

Solo, Team and Business. On those plans, you can open and restore earlier versions of a prototype. On Free, each update keeps the same URL, but you cannot open earlier versions.

How do I move a Claude Design prototype to Display?

Export the design from Claude Design as standalone HTML, then publish the file to Display. In three exports we verified, the interactions we exercised still worked after publishing. Click through your prototype before you share it.

Can people outside our company contribute?

Yes. Invite them by email to a prototype or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. They sign in with a one-time password. They do not join your organization.

Which agents work with Display?

Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same prototype.

Does Display create designs?

No. Display does not generate designs. Your agent makes the prototype, or you make it in Claude Design. Display gives it one URL, access control, comments and versions.

Does Display have a canvas, Figma publishing or a PPTX export?

No. A native Canvas is planned. Today, Display opens each prototype as its own page. People with edit access change the page in the browser, in Visual or Source mode, one editor at a time. Display has no Figma publishing and no PPTX or Canva export. You can download the source file of any prototype. Use Claude Design when you need those exports.

Does Display open the .zip or PPTX export from Claude Design?

Not as a page. Publish the standalone HTML export. A folder can store the PPTX file for download. An import for Claude Design projects is planned.

Does Display use our design system?

An organization design system is planned. Today, your agent applies your design system when it writes the HTML, and Display keeps the file as the agent made it.

Is Display open source?

No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a prototype without a seat. You can download the source file of any prototype at any time.

Give every prototype one place for review

Publish from Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent that writes HTML. A Claude Design prototype goes in as its standalone HTML export. Reviewers comment without a Claude account.
