Fenly
What it is
Fenly is a cloud platform for managing design systems, available on the web and as an extension. Tokens Hub syncs and visualizes design tokens from Figma, while Components Library displays Figma components and their variants. Teams can create design system documentation, design principles, accessibility guidance, and brand guidelines. Tokens can be exported as CSS custom properties, Tailwind configuration, or JSON.
Fenly connects to Figma through its REST and plugin APIs and reads connected files without writing to them. Its AI Companion and Talk to your DS use Anthropic's Claude with design system context. Talk to your DS can be shared as a public chat so visitors can ask questions without signing in; access can be protected with a password or restricted by domain. Fenly offers a free plan at no cost. It reports HTTPS/TLS protection in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, but does not hold formal certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. AI messages and design system context are sent to Anthropic for processing.
