How It Works

Hatch combines four stages of product development into a single desktop app:

1. Ideate — Idea Maze

A spatial canvas where you brainstorm visually. Create idea nodes, connect them with semantic relationships (depends-on, contradicts, extends, alternative), and let AI find patterns you missed. Ask for critiques from five perspectives: Skeptic, Pessimist, Competitor, User, and Maintainer. When you're ready, export your moodboard as a structured plan.

2. Design — Superdesign Integration

Browse the community's largest AI design prompt library directly inside Hatch. Find UI patterns, animations, wireframes, and mockups to guide your build. Cached webview means instant tab switching — no reloads.

3. Build — BYOA Mode

Hatch doesn't lock you into one AI agent. Plug in Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenCode and work through a chat-based interface with live preview, a full file explorer, tabbed editor, and diff viewer. Workspaces use Git worktrees so you can run multiple ideas in parallel without merge conflicts.

4. Ship — Multi-Target Deploy

Deploy your finished product to Cloudflare Workers/Pages, Railway, or HereNow. Track deployment status and browse what others have shipped in the community discovery gallery.

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• pnpm 9+
• Rust (stable)

Setup

pnpm install

# Start the desktop app
pnpm dev

# Optional: API server (separate terminal)
pnpm dev:api

Testing

pnpm test                    # Unit tests (Vitest)
pnpm test:critical-flows     # E2E tests (Playwright)

Building

pnpm build:desktop

Privacy

Hatch is local-first. Your workspaces, moodboards, and designs stay on your machine. API keys are stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service). Nothing leaves your computer unless you explicitly deploy or push to GitHub.
