Getting started · Alpha

There's nothing to install

Tostada runs in your browser at app.tostada-ui.app. Sign up free — no terminal, no download, no setup. This page used to describe an npx install; that distribution has been retired.

1

Sign up

An account is free to start. Your library, its documentation site and the audits behind it live in one place, and your teammates can be part of it.

2

Shape your system

Tokens, layout principles, component rules — every change previewed live on real components as you make it.

3

Hand it to your developers

Export a committable design/ bundle: tokens.css, a Tailwind theme, design-system.json, and an AGENTS.md your AI coding agent follows.

Developers: the open format

Everything needed to read what Tostada produces is Apache-2.0 and on npm. Point it at a library file and regenerate your token layer, your theme and your whole documentation site — offline, on a machine that has never heard of us.

npm i @tostada-ui/format

Then npx tostada docs or npx tostada export, against your tostada.json.

Audit a codebase first

Runs on your machine and never executes your code. Your code stays put — only the finished report is sent, to a one-time link you claim.
