Copycat saves a website’s design rules for new interface work

Copycat studies the design of a public website and saves the findings on the user’s computer. It records typography, colors, motion, page layout, , and evidence from the styles actually applied in the browser. The site can be saved under an alias, producing a DESIGN.md file and s.

such as Claude Code and Cursor can later use that saved direction while building a new . The tool does not copy the original site’s text, images, or other assets, and all processing happens locally. It is still at an early stage, and it remains unclear how much a saved design profile helps when the next must be original.

The developer is seeking feedback on which visual details the tool should capture and remember for real work.
