What's new

Every release of Reqwise Studio and Reqwise Figma: what's added, changed and fixed.

Versions

2.0.0

Latest

Reqwise becomes an app for Mac and Windows: it connects 15 AIs for you, and your key and new versions live in the app.

Added · 21

The app finds and connects 15 AIs: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf / Devin, Cline, Roo Code, Zed, Kiro, Kilo Code and OMP. Any other AI with MCP can be added by hand — the app finds its settings file.
Connections → Add AI
Every change to an AI's settings is backed up, with an undo button.
Connections → Details
The first time the plugin connects to the app, you type the code the plugin shows into the app — an unknown program on your Mac cannot connect to your Figma.
Connections
Your key, a 30-day trial and new versions, all in the app. On Mac, updates download in the background and install in about 10 seconds; your AIs and the plugin reconnect by themselves.
Key & updates
An app for Windows 10 and 11 on Intel/AMD PCs, and Windows 11 on ARM PCs: the same app and plugin. For now a new version on Windows is a new installer from the download page, installed over the old one; Windows asks you to confirm the install (More info → Run anyway); recording a demo as video is Mac only.
reqwise.app → Download
Three new diagrams: a mind map from an outline, Markdown or Mermaid; a Gantt chart on working days and holidays, where dragging a bar moves what depends on it; and a system architecture — your systems and third parties', calls, messages and data flows. 13 kinds in all.

FigJam: your AI reads a workshop board — stickies, shapes, arrows, tables — and turns it into a diagram, or draws userflows, activity diagrams, site maps and mind maps right on the board.
“read this FigJam board and draw it as an activity diagram”
58 ready-made looks with standard notations (Chen, IDEF1X and Barker ERDs, vertical BPMN, site maps in columns). Set the font, colours, lines and corners once for the whole app, or for one file.
Diagram styles
Specs for developers: the user story, acceptance criteria and Jira ticket right beside the screen.
“write the user story and AC for this screen”
HTML that works like the real app: each screen has its own address, the browser's Back works, fields take typing. Your AI reads the userflow, ERD and spec cards and proposes how the page reacts — fields checked, error branches, totals worked out; you approve before it is saved, and the next export needs no AI.
“export the sign-in flow as HTML, polished by AI”
Bring a web page into Figma as editable layers.
“import the web page <link> as Figma layers”
New checks: 1–2 px misalignment, wording across screens, text that grows in translation, broken prototypes (dead links, screens nobody reaches), hierarchy and spacing (a title that doesn't stand out, blocks against the edge, a label far from its field).
“check this screen for 1–2 px misalignment”
UI review: paste one screenshot for a 6-criteria card and one verdict, or review a Figma screen or screenshots on your Mac with every problem measured and pinned on Figma. A running web app is captured straight from the app at each window size, password fields covered before saving; capture again after the fix to know it is really fixed.
“review this screen's UI and pin the problems on Figma”
Design system: pick the groups of variables and styles to build, each with its reason, from 10 styles previewed side by side — right in the plugin, no AI needed.
Plugin → Foundations
Tokens: add a theme (a dark one, say) and preview it — on the free Figma plan too; sync tokens with the file in your code project, both ways.
“add a dark theme and show me the sign-in screen in it”
Each Figma file has its own page in the app: diagrams, demos, HTML, code, file checks, exports, and a Clean up tab (unused and duplicate styles, the font of the whole file, token export).
Figma files
Set how your AI names and arranges screens on Figma: one section per feature, each state under its screen, a copy per breakpoint — and a check for screens still called “Frame 12”.
Settings → Screens
Journey maps and personas name the research they come from, and every quote is checked against the interview notes you paste.
Reports: commands, tokens, projects and errors by day, exported as PDF or CSV.
Reports
Turn off the features you don't use so your AI reads less with every message — about a third less for the BA diagrams. The app suggests what nobody used in the last 30 days.
Features → On/off
The app keeps running in the menu bar (on Windows, in the tray) when you close its window, so Figma stays connected.

Installs as an app on Mac or Windows: no Node, no install commands pasted to your AI.
Mac, this version: the app is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS won't open it at first. Drag it into Applications, open Terminal, paste xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Reqwise Figma.app" and press Enter, then open the app. Only once: updates install without it.
Launchpad → Other → Terminal
The Figma plugin comes with the app, ready in Documents › Reqwise Figma › Figma plugin.
The guides your AI reads before drawing (skills) live in the app, shared by every AI and editable there — no more copying skills into each AI.
Skills
Bought 1.0 or 1.1, or an AI4BA student: you get a free one-Mac key by email.
The plugin looks like part of Figma: it follows Figma's light or dark theme, speaks English by default (VI at the bottom switches), and nothing runs off the edge of a narrow panel.

The plugin names the AI it is connected to — “Claude Code · my-project” — instead of a code.
Reading a screen for a developer gives token names, text styles and component states, so the code uses the design system's own names.
Exported HTML is closer to the design: layers fixed while scrolling stay put, outlined buttons are no longer 2 px short.
Claude Desktop: your AI reminds you to click Allow before a tool's first use — Claude Desktop drops a call nobody answers within 4 minutes.
A demo's play link no longer asks you to paste the file's address.

Removed · 1

The 1.x package you unzipped and installed from Terminal. The app replaces it, and can clean up the old copy.

Fixed · 9

Arrows no longer run on top of each other, or through a box they don't join, in any diagram.
Dragging a box in a userflow no longer shuffles the others.
ERD: every relationship has its own line. State: every line starts and ends on its own state.
A diagram redrawn in the default style keeps its colours; when a style cannot be applied, the diagram stays on the canvas.
One broken component set no longer spoils a whole design-system read.
Changing the font of a whole file reads every page first, so none is missed.

Pressing Enter in an exported form presses the form's own button.
A copied layer lands right beside its original, in the same frame.
A set of diagrams waiting on a slow Figma window is no longer drawn twice.

1.1.0

Oct 8, 2026

Added · 11

Link Figma components to the components in your code: the Code tab finds the open project, pairs them up and asks only about the pairs it is unsure of.
Plugin → Code tab
See at once where design and code drift apart, with a button to settle each one and an undo.
Adjust how each value is matched — a "ghost" button in Figma is "outline" in the code, for example.
Get JSX for a screen or a few instances, using your project's own components with their imports — icon imports included.
Plugin → Code tab
Use a published library's colours, spacing and more in a file that only uses the library, without detaching instances.
Set a frame's variable mode — switch a mobile screen to Touch or a dark screen to Dark.

Show 5 more

Swap an instance's main component, a library one included, and keep the text you changed.
Wire component properties to layers after the fact, and add a variant without losing them.
Place a library component on a screen in one command.
Find every place a component is used, on one page or in the whole file.
Cut long text with "…" and cap its lines; set minimum and maximum widths and how a layer resizes (fixed, hug, fill).

Changed · 6

The AI spends fewer tokens on the same drawing.
A BPMN file is saved to the Desktop instead of pasted into the chat.
A long job cut off half-way keeps its progress and carries on next time.
A Figma window keeps its channel name when the plugin reloads, updates or restarts.
The AI is told when a Figma window in the background is slowing its commands down.
After updating, close the plugin and open it again once so it can use libraries.

Fixed · 9

A resize that does not take is reported, instead of a false success.
The layout check no longer reports problems in hidden layers.
Setting an instance property back to the value it had no longer reports "connection lost".
A large library that is slow to import the first time says "try again" instead of "not found".
A "not found" error says which file and page it looked in.
A drawing that fails half-way leaves no half-built frame behind.

BPMN: dragging a pool or lane brings everything inside it, dragging a connector brings its name and marker, and arrows no longer run through the step below.
BPMN and activity diagrams draw every arrow when several steps are chained on one line.
Removing prototype flows by name no longer removes other flows with the same name, and a duplicated page keeps every prototype link.

1.0.1

Sep 27, 2026

Added · 5

Set a prototype flow's Start point, change it or take it off.
Rename a prototype flow — "Flow 1" to "Sign in", say.
Start points set from the userflow you drew: each flow starts on its first screen.
Rename, reorder and duplicate pages; a duplicated page keeps its prototype.
Group several screens into a named Section.

Fixed · 1

The AI can read any page, including one you don't have open.

Older releases

1.0.0 · Sep 18, 2026

Delete pages and styles, and clear out unused styles. The AI always asks before deleting.

Fixed · 4

Reading a large design system no longer hangs.
The AI sees the colours and text sizes bound to a layer correctly.
No more false "old plugin, please update" warnings.
Deleting a component no longer reports a false error.
