What it is for

Handle is a live-product design desk on your coding agent: you select a DOM node, tweak Layout / Appearance, and land the change in the repo, and the site prints FREE AND OPEN SOURCE (BYOK). Use it when the job is design on localhost and let Claude Code / Codex write the PR, not when you need a billed Handle Cloud seat (none is printed).

What makes it unique: the cover is Handle’s official Studio chrome (tabs Aurum App Dashboard, URL http://localhost:4321/…, left Library / #net-worth tree, live TOTAL NET WORTH $284,592 preview, right Layout Width / Alignment / Padding + Appearance Opacity / Fill, Edit / Publish) from gethandle.ai — not a logo. The DOM tree + properties rail themselves are ops of Studio.

Key features

DOM / Library tree — body / #net-worth / #pending nodes (cover still; Studio). One desk. Cover #net-worth-summary sits here.
Live preview — the running app (Good Afternoon, Samuel!, TOTAL NET WORTH $284,592, spending list; cover). A preview, not a GitHub star.
Layout rail — Width / Height / Alignment / Padding / Margin (cover Layout 100% / auto). A layout desk, not a Publish button.
Appearance rail — Opacity / corner radius / Fill (cover Appearance). A style desk, not a Free tile.
Page chrome — tabs + localhost URL (cover Aurum App Dashboard / http://localhost:4321/). A page, not an agent picker.
Library — the component list next to the tree (cover Library). A library, not an Edit CTA.

Edit / Publish / Done on the cover are CTAs (not desks). FREE AND OPEN SOURCE / BYOK stay in Pricing. The coding agent (Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / …) is your agent — an extra, not a sixth Handle desk we fold into Layout.

Who it's for

Best fit: design engineers on macOS 13+ Apple silicon (Studio) or Chrome (extension) who already pay Claude Code / Codex / Cursor and will stay on Handle at $0 while they select a first #net-worth node — not teams hunting a Handle Cloud SKU (none is printed).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from gethandle.ai (“FREE AND OPEN SOURCE” on Extension and Studio; “Just use the npx command below, or check out our GitHub”; “No account required to download or use Handle Studio. Bring your own agents.”) and github.com/tonkotsu-ai/handle.

Handle Extension + Studio — $0. Printed FREE AND OPEN SOURCE. No account.
BYOK / BYO agent — you pay Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Rovo Dev, or Windsurf (site list). Studio names Claude Code, Codex, and Rovo Dev.
Platform — Chrome extension; Studio on macOS 13+ Apple silicon.
No public paid Handle Cloud tile on the HTML we fetched. Do not invent a Pro $. Soft-note: no paid Cloud SKU.

Confirm agent billing with that vendor; taxes follow that vendor.

Limitations / costs

$0 is Handle, not the agent. A long Claude Code thread still bills Anthropic.
Studio is Mac Apple silicon. Windows designers use the Chrome extension + local dev server.
No Handle Cloud $. Soft-note OSS / BYOK if that is still the only printed offer.
A live-UI desk, not Rill’s ⌘E tray. For that Mac browser see Rill.

Alternatives

Rill — a Mac AI browser when you want Free $0 + ⌘E, not Handle’s #net-worth tree.
Nimbus — an agentic browser when you want founding 500 at $0, not Layout / Appearance rails.
Browser Use — an MIT browser agent when you want Cloud $0.02/hr, not localhost Studio.
Cursor — a repo Agent when you want Tab in VS Code, not a visual properties rail.

Official tutorial

Official YouTube search (2026-10-23): @gethandle exists but oEmbed title is 올빼미와 부엉이의 차이 (author Neki) — not this product. @HandleAI has no videos. @Handle_ae is unrelated. We do not embed those. Do not claim “no official YouTube”: we searched; the handles are not this product.

Written path: gethandle.ai plus Studio and tonkotsu-ai/handle.
