What Is ArtCraft? The Team Behind the Crafting Apps
ArtCraft is the team and brand behind the Crafting Apps, a lineup of twelve free, open-source creative and productivity tools built in Rust. The official apps listing lives on getartcraft.com, and their source repositories are published by storytold on GitHub.
The ArtCraft team and official sources
The official listing attributes the native apps to the ArtCraft team. Repository READMEs credit the team and community. Use each app's repository for its license, documented features and installation instructions; this independent guide summarizes those materials.
“ArtCraft apps,” “ArtCraft suite” and “getartcraft apps” can refer to this lineup. Its official name is the Crafting Apps. The supplied research does not establish a fuller company history or legal identity, so none is inferred here.

ArtCraft itself is described separately
The PhotoCraft README distinguishes the Crafting Apps from ArtCraft itself with this sentence:
And ArtCraft itself, our AI image and video studio for artists who want real control.
PhotoCraft README
This describes a separate AI studio product. The free-to-use statement on the apps listing applies to the Crafting Apps; the supplied materials do not establish the studio's pricing. See the official ArtCraft website for that product.
The twelve Crafting Apps and ArtCraft Launcher
The lineup spans image editing, illustration, video, photography, PDFs, motion graphics, publishing, documents, audio, presentations, CAD and spreadsheets. Follow each guide for the documented scope and limits.
The official listing labels PhotoCraft and PdfCraft Early alpha and the other ten apps In development. ArtCraft Launcher manages installation and updates; the download guide also lists official sources for individual installers.
ArtCraft and Adobe alternatives
The app READMEs position individual tools as alternatives to named workflows: for example, PhotoCraft names Adobe Photoshop, VectorCraft names Adobe Illustrator, and FilmCraft names Adobe Premiere Pro. Read the individual guides for each Crafting App's features, formats and gaps.
Those descriptions do not establish that the early apps replace every workflow. This guide has not tested the software and makes no feature claims about the named commercial products.
