Seven apps are listed as of October 2026. PhotoCraft and PrintCraft are marked early alpha; VectorCraft, FilmCraft, LightCraft, EffectCraft, and DesignCraft are in development. ArtCraft says the project targets a creative environment without subscriptions or a constant cloud connection.","whyItMatters":"ArtCraft is pitching Crafting Apps on the two things Adobe's suite ties to a paid subscription and a live connection, and it is listing seven apps as released or in progress rather than one replacement tool.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eCrafting Apps copies Adobe\u0026#39;s operation system app by app, but each program is written from scratch in Rust. PhotoCraft reads and writes PSD and PSB formats while preserving layers, and ArtCraft says 134 of 135 collected test files kept their contents unchanged when loaded and saved. VectorCraft imports and exports SVG and PDF. FilmCraft implements its own H.264, HEVC, ProRes, VP9, AAC, and Opus codecs rather than depending on FFmpeg. ArtCraft\u0026#39;s stated goal is a creative environment that needs neither a subscription nor an always-on cloud connection.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotoCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: Photoshop-like editor with layers, masks, adjustment layers, PSD and PSB support; early alpha\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVectorCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: Illustrator-like vector editing with pen tool and image trace; in development\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilmCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: Premiere-like nonlinear editor with about 55 effects and its own codecs; in development\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: in development\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffectCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: in development\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesignCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: in development\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrintCraft\u003c/strong\u003e: early alpha\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"ArtCraft is building Crafting Apps, open-source replacements for Adobe's suite, each written from scratch in Rust.
