At the end of another summer, we are all getting ready to knuckle down for some serious work in the fall. But we want to help you work smarter, not harder, so to that end, we’d like to present you with this latest round of exciting new tools for designers and developers.

Exciting New Tools For Designers, September 2023.

We’ve found a promising new AI-powered image editor, a point-and-click WordPress editor, and a handy UI component library, along with some other treats to keep you productive and not just busy. You’re welcome!

Modyfi

Modyfi is an AI-driven image creator and editor that works with both bitmap and vector. It is browser-based — so platform-agnostic — and allows for collaboration.

Modyfi

Workvio

Workvio is a work management platform for freelancers. With time tracking, project management, invoicing, and expenses. Currently in beta, the first 1,000 to sign up get it free.

Thread

Thread is an AI for creating wireframes. Tell it what you want a wireframe for, and it will create one following best design practices that you can then customize.

Thread

Microthemer

Microthemer is a visual CSS editor for WordPress. It creates an alternative style sheet that overrides your theme’s existing CSS, so you can quickly revert to the theme defaults.

Metalmorphism

If you’re a fan of the popular Y2K trend, then this metallic UI component set will come in handy. Choose from silver, copper, gold, or custom color finishes.

Specify

Noise & Gradient

Noise & Gradient generates gradient textures based on the colors you give it and outputs it as a downloadable jpg. Great for backgrounds.

Tower

Tower has just released version 10 of the popular git client for macOS. New features include some much-requested syntax coloring.

Figr 2.0

Figr allows you to copy the design templates of successful apps and edit them in Figma. You can mix and match — excellent for that client who wants a home page like Apple’s, with a menu like Squarespace’s and a footer like The Gap’s.

Radix Themes

Radix is an open-source React UI component library for fast development of accessible apps. Easy to set up and use.
