Run your Claude AI artifacts natively, No browser. No cloud.
Vesta is a native macOS application that serves as an AI prototype viewer and runner, designed for developers and designers who create AI-generated prototypes using tools like Claude or ChatGPT. The core value proposition is simple: run any .html, .jsx, .tsx, .svg, or .md file directly on your Mac without relying on a browser or cloud connection. It brings AI artifacts to life instantly with a single click, offering a secure, sandboxed environment that prioritises speed and privacy. Whether you are iterating on React components or reviewing SVG icons, Vesta provides a frictionless way to preview and test your work immediately.
The primary pain point Vesta addresses is the friction and security risk associated with testing AI-generated prototypes. Typically, developers must upload files to a cloud service or open them in a browser, which introduces latency, potential data exposure, and context switching. Vesta eliminates these by running everything locally in a sandboxed WebView. Files never leave the user's machine, and no internet connection is required for rendering. This matters immensely for rapid prototyping workflows where every second counts and where sensitive code or design assets must remain private. Users can iterate quickly without worrying about upload times, cloud accounts, or data sovereignty.
The first major feature group is Live Preview, which allows users to launch files and instantly switch between Desktop, Tablet, and Phone viewports to test responsiveness. Desktop mode provides full-width, pixel-perfect rendering; Tablet offers a mid-range viewport suitable for responsive layouts; and Phone simulates mobile breakpoints with touch-sized targets. This feature enables developers to verify how their prototype behaves on different screen sizes without needing physical devices or emulators. The benefit is immediate visual feedback across three common form factors, streamlining responsive design testing and reducing the need for external testing tools.
The second major feature is Watched Folders. Users point Vesta at a folder where they save their prototypes, and the app automatically discovers new files and organizes them into a persistent library with sections for Library, Recents, and Favorites. The watched folder persists across relaunches, so users do not have to reconfigure it. When a file is edited externally, a simple ⌘R reloads it within Vesta. This feature keeps the workflow fluid: save a file in your code editor, switch to Vesta, and see the update. There is no manual import or drag-and-drop required. The organisation makes it easy to find and revisit prototypes over time.
