Canonical page: https://ourlocalhost.com/app/6857/nexbrand ## Description nexbrand keeps the corporate design of your clients in one place, on your own server: colours with their print values, fonts with their licence, logos with the ground they belong on, a type scale, rules and example files, per client and per project, with every version kept on a time line. Checks are computed from the set: contrast of every pair by WCAG 2.2, logos at 3:1, colour vision deficiencies, nearly identical colours, fonts that must not leave the house. A workbench builds a new CI from a few words, a picture or one colour, clients review the directions through a link without an account, and the choice becomes version 1.0. Every version comes as CSS variables, a Tailwind 4 theme, SCSS or design tokens, over an API and over MCP for an AI in your editor. Access per client for people and teams, accounts by invitation or OpenID Connect (one-button setup for authentik), an optional ## Platform availability Available on 2 of 6 install platforms: Unraid, TrueNAS. ## Health score 43/100 (Fair), based on 3 of 4 factors. - Maintained: 72 (last commit 0 days ago) - Popular: 6 (1 GitHub stars) - Easy to install: 30 (2 install platforms, Docker image) ## Links - Unraid: https://ca.unraid.net/apps/app_07ad89389b270786 - TrueNAS: https://apps.truenas.com/catalog/nexbrand/ - Official website: https://www.nexbrand.de - GitHub: https://github.com/DerKezorm/nexbrand ## Common questions ### How can a client review a new CI without getting an account? They open a review link, view the directions in light and dark, leave comments, and choose a direction. The chosen direction becomes the next version. ### Do published CI versions change after they are created? No. Versions are dated and do not change after publishing. ### How do developers get the saved brand values as code? Each version is available as CSS variables, a Tailwind 4 theme, SCSS, or design tokens. Programs can read the same values over the API, and an AI tool in the editor can fetch them over MCP. ### Can I restrict people and teams to specific clients? Yes, people and teams get access per client. The listed rights are read, write, and manage. ### Is the app stable if I start using it now? It is at its first version, so it works and is well tested, but a lot is still finding its shape. This is when ideas and feedback change it the most. ## Alternatives - Blackmagic Design Fusion: Fusion is the world’s most advanced compositing software for visual effects artists, broadcast and motion graphic designers and 3D animator… - Blender: Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics toolset for creating animated films, visual effects, artwork, 3D-printed models, mot… - CapCut: Free video editor with multi-track timeline, trimming, advanced filters, stickers, licensed music, auto-captions, export in 4K 60fps, and s… - Cavalry: Cavalry makes 2d animation smarter, easier and faster to produce. - Friction: Friction is a powerful and versatile motion graphics application that allows you to create vector and raster animations for web and video p… - NUKE: NUKE is a powerful compositing application that delivers unparalleled speed, an efficient multi-channel scanline rendering engine, and a fi… - Natron: Natron is an open source, cross platform nodal compositing application. - OpenCut: Open-source video editor with cross-platform support, non-linear editing, no watermarks, multi-track timeline, templates, and fast export o… - OpenToonz: Open-source 2D animation software offering raster and vector support, advanced node-based effects, and plug-in extendibility, free for all… - Pikimov: Pikimov is a free web based motion design and video editor. - TiXL: TiXL is an open-source solution for creating interactive 3d content and animations. - enve: Enve is a free and open-source 2D animation app. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/6857/nexbrand), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
