Hey, Product Hunt community! š
My name is Amid, and I'm thrilled to finally share FontMuse with you all.
Like many of you, I'm a developer who also spends a lot of time working on design. I was constantly frustrated with how slow and clunky it was to test fonts. Switching between Figma, VS Code, and browser tabs just to see how a line of text looks was a huge waste of time. I wanted a tool that was instant, native, and just worked. When I couldn't find one, I decided to build it myself.
That's how FontMuse was born. It's a simple idea: a desktop app that gives you a live preview of any text with every font on your system.
What makes FontMuse different?
š Native Performance: It's built with Rust and Tauri, so it's incredibly fast and uses minimal system resources. No slow web views.
š» Truly Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon), and Linux.
š Live Clipboard Sync: This is my favorite feature! Just copy text from any app, and FontMuse instantly previews it. It's magical.
š 100% Private & Offline: Your fonts and data never leave your machine.
ā¤ļø Free & Open-Source: No ads, no subscriptions. It's a tool for the community.
I'm most proud of creating an experience that feels fast and native on every OS, solving a problem I know many of us face daily.
The roadmap includes Google Fonts integration and a Figma plugin, but for now, I'd love to hear your feedback. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for checking it out,
Amid
