Open-source "Cursor for designers" — visually edit and AI-build React/Tailwind apps in a canvas UI

Onlook does the job of v0 and Figma Make, self-hosted. It is Apache-2.0-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and setting it up is an afternoon, not a weekend. v0 bills $20 for it. 26k stars on GitHub.

Is it actually a replacement?

We have written a verdict on what it replaces — what you lose, and why people still pay:

How Onlook runs

Where it runs

Onlook runs on your machine or their cloud.

Installing it

Hosted signup, or self-host with Bun or Docker plus Supabase configuration.

Where your data lives

Project code lives in the workspace or sandbox; application metadata and assets use the configured Supabase instance.

What setup takes

Hosted access may be gated; self-hosting needs Bun or Docker, Supabase and several environment variables.

The catch compared with Bolt.new

It is narrower and more design-first, with less mature prompt-to-full-stack generation and deployment than Bolt's browser workspace.

Onlook questions

Is Onlook open source?

Yes — it is released under Apache-2.0.

Can Onlook replace v0?

Our verdict on v0 is YES. OpenCode (192k stars), OpenHands (83k stars), Cline (65k stars) are mature open-source replacements for v0 — self-host in one command and stop paying $30/mo.

Can I self-host Onlook?

Yes — we rate it medium to self-host, and it runs on your machine or their cloud. Hosted signup, or self-host with Bun or Docker plus Supabase configuration.
