Project overview
The short version
Craft Apps Guide is an independent reference for ArtCraft's Crafting Apps, a set of free, open-source desktop apps built as alternatives to Adobe and Microsoft software. The guide isn't affiliated with ArtCraft. It lists 13 apps, from PhotoCraft for images and PSD files to GridCraft for spreadsheets and SolidCraft for CAD, and marks each as early alpha or in development. Each app has its own page on features and file support, and there are tutorials, comparisons and troubleshooting guides. The Creative App Finder suggests which app to try first from your task and starting file, and nothing is uploaded. Its safety guide sends readers to getartcraft.com and the official GitHub releases, and explains how to check a SHA-256 checksum.
