🎨klad Ships Open-Source 2D Painting App Where Agents Share Your Canvas

Your game art pipeline just got a coding agent

A new open-source app called klad lets you paint and animate on a canvas shared with a coding agent. You decide what to draw, and the agent works alongside you on the same canvas. No image model is involved, which is the whole point. If you're building games, this is for you. klad targets props, characters, backgrounds, and frame-by-frame animation, and it can generate in-betweens and check arcs for realism. Exports go out as PNGs, sprite sheets, or a Godot SpriteFrames scene that keeps each clip's timing. The app also ships a command-line tool, so you can script drawings into your build. Every stroke and fill is stored as data, so you can recolour, bend, move, or delete them later. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows, needs no account, and checks for updates once a day, which you can turn off. The license is free for personal and commercial use as long as your company has under 500,000 euros in revenue. This is the first public version, so expect rough edges.
