Penpot is an open-source design platform for creating user interfaces, wireframes, prototypes, and design systems. It's similar to Figma—vector editing, layers, components, constraints—but with a key difference: it's self-hosted and community-owned. You can use Penpot in the cloud (free tier, hosted by the community) or self-host it on your own servers. It's written in Clojure and JavaScript, so you can fork it, customize it, and contribute plugins. For teams prioritizing data privacy, cost control, or long-term vendor independence, Penpot is an excellent choice.
