MAKE YOUR OWN — NO CODING

The built-in creator hands you a designer-grade prompt for Claude or ChatGPT. Paste the AI's answer back and your custom set appears on a preview board, ready to apply. Love it? One click submits it to the public catalog, where a bot opens the pull request for you.

DESIGNED FOR REAL PLAY

Every set follows strict readability rules: six unmistakable silhouettes, clear white-vs-black armies, and legibility tested down to bullet-speed board sizes.

PRIVACY
