The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Jul 2026

HTML Anything is a desktop editor that takes Markdown, CSV, or notes and asks your existing coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, others) to render them as styled HTML: keynote decks, magazine articles, resumes, posters, social cards. Apache 2.0. Reuses whatever agent sessions you're already logged into, so the marginal cost is zero.

Self-hosted by design. There's no cloud tier. Run it locally, it scans your PATH for installed agent CLIs, you pick one and a template. The 75 templates ship as SKILL files (Anthropic's skill format) and produce single-file HTML you can paste into WeChat, Zhihu, X, or just download as PNG. Setup is install dependencies, run `pnpm dev`.

For anyone who already pays for Claude Code, Cursor, or similar and wants polished HTML output without sending more tokens through paid APIs: this is the angle. For people without an agent CLI installed: skip it, the value disappears.

It's downstream of someone else's project (`nexu-io/open-design`) and the README leans hard on showcase shots. The template library is the actual product. If the templates don't fit your output, you're writing your own SKILL files in custom HTML and CSS, which is the work the tool claims to spare you.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Free tier: The entire tool. Apache 2.0.

Self-hosted (free): Local-first, no cloud component. Install dependencies, pnpm dev. No API key, no account, no backend.

Paid (cloud): No cloud offering.

The cost you don't see: Your coding agent subscription. This depends on you already having Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or another agent CLI installed and authenticated. Without one of those, this tool has nothing to call. The agent does the work; the cost is whatever you're paying for that agent.

Free, Apache 2.0. Costs as much as your existing agent subscription.
