Prototype UI changes visually in your live app, then apply them via AI coding agents.

Bridges the gap between Figma mockups and real code by letting designers iterate directly on live apps using AI agents like Claude Code.

Airship is a visual editing layer that sits on top of your live running app, letting you select UI elements, tweak them visually, and then push those changes back into your codebase via AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex. It's positioned as a bridge between the tactile experimentation designers love in Figma and the reality of production code — no round-tripping through a separate design tool required.

Why it stands out

The 'prototype in your real, live app' premise is genuinely compelling — you're not pushing pixels in an abstraction layer, you're touching actual rendered components, which collapses the gap between design intent and implementation in a way Figma handoff never really solved.

Best for

The designer-who-codes, or a product designer embedded on a small team who owns both the design decisions and wants to ship tweaks without filing tickets or rebuilding screens in Figma just to communicate a spacing change.
