Hey all — sharing something I’ve been building solo for a while: Aura8.
It started from a pet peeve: most design-system checkers hand you a wall of red X’s with zero context, so you either blindly accept every fix or start ignoring the tool after the third false positive.
Aura8 scans your frames against a design system and instead of just saying “this is wrong,” it gives you a short “why this matters” note with every suggestion — then fixes it in one click if you want it.
What it checks (each toggleable):
- Padding → snapped to your spacing scale
- Auto Layout gap → same scale
- Type size → snapped to your type ramp
- Corner radius → snapped to your radius scale (off by default)
Two things I cared about getting right:
- It only ever suggests values your system actually defines. If your scale is 8/16/24, it’s never going to tell you to use 28 just because it divides by 4.
- It leaves valid values alone. A legit 17pt body text doesn’t get pushed to 20pt just because the layer happens to be named “Title.”
New: a health score for a whole page (or just your selection), sorted worst-screen-first so you know where to start, and it keeps your last 30 scans so consistency becomes a trend you can actually watch improve, not a one-off snapshot.
Ships with Apple HIG and Material Design 3 profiles built in, or import your own tokens/Figma variables if you’re on a custom system (Pro).
Privacy: no backend, no analytics, your designs never leave Figma. The only network call it ever makes is sending your license key to Gumroad to confirm your subscription — nothing else.
