A Mac client for Figma

DEPRECATED - Figma launched their own desktop app.

The old readme continues below for posterity. Thank you Figma team for releasing an official desktop client! :)

Figma for Mac (unofficial)

This is an Electron wrapper for Figma. It lets you install Figma on your Mac and easily access it from the Dock instead of your web browser.

Caveats

I'm not really a Node developer, so this is just a basic implementation. There are some known (and some unknown!) issues with this project:

• Pinch to zoom does not work. I imagine this is solvable, but I don't know how.
• This is a third-party project not associated with Figma, Inc., so use it at your own risk.

How to Install

1. Download the latest Release from GitHub, unzip, and drag to your Applications folder.

2. Launch the app.

3. Log in with your Figma credentials.

4. Party hardy.

I need help!

This project is far from finished. I created it because I prefer desktop apps over webapps, and I wanted to give Figma a try. So far, I think it shows tons of promise.

If you have experience with Node and / or Electron, and would like to help make this app cleaner, leaner, faster, and more reliable with me, please submit a PR or email me at [e-mail] with "Figma for Mac" somewhere in the subject line. Should be pretty fun!

Troubleshooting

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Figma is still in beta, and so is this Mac app. Stuff will probably break. Feel free to submit a GitHub issue or contact the official Figma support line if you need help.

Building it yourself

1. Download Electron via NPM (electron-prebuilt)
2. cd to this repo on your Mac, make whatever changes you like, and run electron . to run a live preview of your Figma app.
3. To package the app as a binary, download electron-packager and run it from the directory above the repo:

electron-packager figma-mac Figma --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --version=0.35.2 --app-version=[your-version] --icon='figma-mac/extras/atom.icns' --overwrite
