DesignCraft

This is a community package of DesignCraft, maintained independently and unaffiliated with the DesignCraft project. It repackages the official upstream Linux release build unmodified.

DesignCraft is an open-source, native page layout app written in Rust that follows the Adobe InDesign workflow: the same layout, tools, menus, panels and shortcuts.

• Spreads and parent pages, frames and threaded text
• A Knuth-Plass paragraph composer with dictionary hyphenation
• IDML import and export, and PNG export
• Fast multithreaded rendering and instant undo
• Every menu item, tool and panel can be driven by AI agents

The headless command runner and MCP server is included: flatpak run --command=designcraft-cli ai.storyteller.designcraft --help

Permissions: this package uses the same sandbox as upstream's own Flatpak manifest: display (Wayland, with X11 as a fallback), the GPU device, and the Pictures folder. Files anywhere else are opened and saved through the system file chooser. No network access is granted.

Optional overrides:

• Let agents on the host reach the --control automation server: flatpak override --user --share=network ai.storyteller.designcraft
• Open files by path anywhere in your home folder (command line, Open Recent): flatpak override --user --filesystem=home ai.storyteller.designcraft
