Single Source of Design Tokens

Visual Token Editors
All token types in one single panel, right under your hands.
Immediately see the changes cascading through whole design system.
DSM Panel on the left is interactive!
If you change the primary color, or switch theme state, you will see that primary palette below with tints and shades changing as well.
Themeable with System States
States are not limited to only color themes but might be for fast / slow transitions, multilingual copy text or even for different versions of your design.
States let us easily manage multiple variations of design tokens and scale our design system.
Dividing variations into distinct sets results n-ary Cartesian product and all possible permutations.

More Design Token Types
Design tokens are not limited by colors, typography, motion or spacing, but include
  • Borders and Radii
  • Transforms
  • Visual Effect Filters
  • Sounds
  • Microcopy, which is adabtable to voice and tone or is multilingual with help of system states.
Finally, Semantic Token Aliases let you build a level of abstraction upon design tokens.
Real-time Collaboration
With team subscription coming soon, everyone in the team can work simultaneously on the same design system project and see everyone's changes instantly.
The design system being the single-source-of truth in your workflow, each member of the team can work either from the plugins or from Toolabs web application at the same time.
Design-to-Code
Programmatically access to design tokens from GraphQL API, or
Use Export Widgets in documentation to export design tokens in various formats, e.g. CSS, Less, Sass, JSON, YAML, Js, Swift or Android.
You can also define your custom format using handlebars template language.

First Design Tool with Responsive Pan & Zoom Canvas

Toolabs has an infinite pan & zoom canvas like Figma, Adobe Xd and Sketch.
But it is also responsive like your browser! (Coming soon...)

Built-in Document Designer

Build your design system documents with an easy to use editor like Medium.com.
Enhanced with design systems related customizable widgets!

Notes & Roadmap

Learning Materials
We are working on building the Learn Center which will include documentation and tutorials.
If it does not help, please ask us anything from the support chat.
Team Projects
With the release of team mode, you will be able to share your design systems with team members. All the editors, plugins and DSM Web, will access the same design system synchronously.
