About
Particles UI is a cloud platform for creating, versioning, reviewing, and publishing design tokens across codebases, themes, and AI agents. Token changes are made on branches and pass through review before entering the main token set. Its accessibility rule blocks merging or publishing when contrast is below WCAG AA, and the check can also run in CI. The CLI accepts DTCG, Tokens Studio, CSS, SCSS, TypeScript, and JavaScript token files and exports formats including Tailwind v4, Style Dictionary, JSON, and Flutter. Listed integrations include Figma, Tailwind, GitHub, MCP, and TypeScript. The CLI is MIT-licensed, and local token management and export work without an account. The Free plan includes one project, one main branch, three free viewers, unlimited tokens, and export formats. Pro starts at $19/user/mo and has a 14-day trial. Team includes MCP access, which requires Team or above. Figma requires desktop version 116 or later or a Chromium-based browser; Safari is not supported.
Who it is for
Particles UI suits teams that need reviewed token changes, accessibility checks, and token exchange across design and code tools. Its local CLI workflow may also suit developers who want to manage and export tokens without an account.
