What it is
Fenly is a free cloud SaaS platform for design system management, available on the web and as an extension. Tokens Hub syncs and visualizes design tokens from Figma, while Components Library displays Figma components and variants. Teams can create documentation, design principles, accessibility guidelines, and brand guidelines, then export tokens as CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, or JSON. Fenly connects through Figma’s REST and plugin APIs and reads connected files without writing to them. AI Companion and Talk to your DS use Anthropic’s Claude with design-system context. Talk to your DS can be shared as a public chat for visitors without logins, with password or domain restrictions available. Sign-in supports email and password, Google OAuth, or email one-time passcodes through Clerk. Fenly reports HTTPS/TLS in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, but no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. AI messages and context are sent to Anthropic, while conversation history is not permanently stored in Fenly’s database.
