Repository names as linked from the official site and its download pages. Star counts change by the hour, so we don’t list them — LinuxCompatible reported roughly 43,000 stars for PhotoCraft on October 11, 2026.
License
The official site says every line is on GitHub “under permissive licenses”. CineD and LinuxCompatible report that the apps are dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0. Check the LICENSE files in each repository before redistributing.
Build from source
The official app pages give the same pattern for PhotoCraft and VectorCraft (Rust 1.90 or newer):
git clone https://github.com/storytold/photocraft.git
cd photocraft
cargo run --release -p photocraftLinuxCompatible notes that FilmCraft had to be built from source with Rust 1.95 or later at the time of its article (October 11, 2026); the official apps page now shows installers for it.
Contributing and automation
The developer has said he will pay bug bounties and stipends to outside contributors, and the team coordinates in the ArtCraft Discord. Every app is described as “agent-ready”: it can be driven from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server.
FAQ
What is the official ArtCraft GitHub?
The storytold organization. Forks and re-uploads under other accounts are not the official project.
What language is ArtCraft written in?
Rust. The official site says the apps are pure Rust, compiled to native desktop apps with no Electron and no web views.
Was ArtCraft written by AI?
Brandon Thomas says he used Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 to write the code. Visualounge describes Claude as writing much of the code.
