Spline Was the Missing Link. Then ExodeUI Made It Obsolete.

Three tools, three subscriptions, three learning curves. ExodeUI replaces the Figma + Spline + React stack with one seamless workflow. Built in Bangalore, for the world.

From Static to Living

Designers export from Figma. Developers open the export, add Spline for animations, wire up state management, and hope nothing breaks. This process repeats for every design change.

ExodeUI's Figma plugin exports designs directly into the visual editor where you add states, transitions, and logic. The output is a production-ready component that needs no Spline wrapper, no manual integration, no state management wiring.

The Figma Problem

Figma is exceptional for static design. But the moment you need interactivity — hover states, transitions, animations — you need Spline (or similar) to fill the gap. This creates a fragmented workflow where design lives in one tool and behavior lives in another.

ExodeUI eliminates this fragmentation. Your Figma designs import directly, and behavior is added visually through state machines — no Spline required.

Real Workflow: Before vs After

Before (Figma + Spline + React):

  1. Design in Figma
  2. Export assets
  3. Import to Spline
  4. Animate in Spline
  5. Export JSON
  6. Add Spline runtime to React app
  7. Write wrapper component
  8. Sync state manually

After (Figma + ExodeUI):

  1. Design in Figma
  2. Export to ExodeUI
  3. Add states and transitions visually
  4. Export React component

That's it. 4 steps instead of 8.

The Handoff Gap

Spline was supposed to bridge the handoff gap between designers and developers. In practice, it adds a layer: designers create animations in Spline, export them, and developers still need to integrate them manually.

ExodeUI closes the gap entirely. The designer builds the component with behavior in the visual editor. The developer receives a component that works. No Spline files to manage. No integration debt.

Join the Movement

Hundreds of Indian teams have already switched from Spline to ExodeUI. They're building faster, shipping more, and paying less. Start your migration today.
