About Specify
What is Specify?
Specify is a design token engine that helps teams centralize design tokens from sources like Figma Styles, Figma Variables, Tokens Studio, or custom JSON files, and automatically distribute them to code repositories. It solves the problem of inconsistent design languages across products by ensuring a single source of truth for colors, typography, spacing, and more.
Who is it for?
Specify is built for design system managers, product designers, and front-end developers who need to maintain a unified design language across multiple teams and products. It is not ideal for solopreneurs or small projects that don't require multi-repository or multi-user collaboration.
Real use cases
Teams use Specify to sync tokens from Figma to GitHub, generate platform-specific code (CSS, Swift, Kotlin), and roll back token changes safely. Product designers like Roy Van Rooijen report saving 'an incredible amount of time' by referencing the same tokens in Figma and codebases.
Key features
- Unified Design Language — Centralize tokens from Figma Styles, Figma Variables, Tokens Studio, or your own JSON, supporting over 50 token types.
- Effortless Collaboration — Designers sync tokens while developers integrate them directly into their platforms.
- Customizable Workflows — Tailor Specify to fit your team's unique design and development processes.
- Automated Distribution — Automatically send tokens to multiple destinations including GitHub via REST API, Specify CLI, or SDK.
- Version Control — Roll back to previous token versions with confidence, reducing manual errors.
- Unlimited Sources & Destinations — Connect as many sources and destinations as you need on any paid plan.
