Recto is a desktop application that provides a visual canvas for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, allowing users to design, edit, and iterate on UI, motion, and 3D directly with their mouse while agents work in the same workspace. It differentiates itself by integrating multiple coding agents into a local visual environment with direct manipulation, comments, and handoff features.

Target audience: frontend devs, designers, AI-assisted developers
