Redesign helps you create on-brand social media posts for LinkedIn and Instagram without opening a design tool. You describe what you want, and Claude (an AI assistant) builds the slides using your actual website components as the style guide. It runs entirely on your computer — no account, no cloud, no extra subscription.

Strengths

Completely free and open-source (MIT license) — no subscription cost beyond your own Claude usage
Uses your real site components so posts look on-brand without any manual style setup
Runs locally with zero data sent to a third-party server, which matters if you handle sensitive brand assets
One terminal command installs everything and hooks into Claude Code automatically

Weaknesses

Requires Node.js 20+ and Claude Code — non-technical users will hit a real setup barrier
You still pay Anthropic for Claude usage, so it's not truly zero-cost at scale
Only 35 GitHub stars at time of review — very early-stage with limited community support or documentation depth
Limited to social media carousels; not a general-purpose design tool

Key features

Describe a post in plain text and get a finished carousel (multi-slide social post) in seconds
Pull real buttons, cards, and icons from your codebase so every post matches your brand automatically
Preview and edit slides live in a browser canvas at localhost:3000
Save reusable assets so future posts take even less time to build
Export posts sized for LinkedIn, Instagram square, and portrait formats
Runs locally with no backend — your files and API key never leave your machine

AI features

Uses Claude (via an MCP server — a local connection that lets Claude control the canvas) to generate, edit, and arrange slide layouts based on your text prompts and your existing codebase components.

STOA verdict

Redesign is built for small dev-savvy teams or solo founders who already use Claude Code and want branded LinkedIn or Instagram carousels without hiring a designer. The brand-from-codebase approach is genuinely clever and saves real time if you can get past the terminal setup. But if your team doesn't write code, this tool isn't for you — and with only 35 GitHub stars, it's early enough that you should expect rough edges.
