If you've been building designs with Claude and wanted an easy way to hand them off to clients or teammates, Hatchr might be exactly what you're looking for. This new tool hit Hacker News this week as a 'Show HN' project, promising to turn your Claude exports into shareable links without any setup, build steps, or complicated configuration.

How It Works

The workflow is refreshingly simple: export your design from Claude as a zip file, drop it into Hatchr's interface, and within seconds you have rendered screens ready to share. The tool parses nested folder structures automatically—so if you've got handoff variants, alternates, or designs buried several layers deep in directories, Hatchr finds and renders every HTML screen it encounters. There's no compiling, no installing dependencies, nothing. Just upload and go.

Sharing Controls

By default, new uploads are private—visible only to you. When you're ready to share, flipping a design to 'unlisted' generates a link that anyone can open without creating an account or logging in. This makes handoffs straightforward for clients, product managers, and engineers who don't need yet another SaaS login. The viewer interface includes a clean sidebar listing every screen organized by folder path, plus the ability to switch between device widths to test responsive behavior.

Security Model

Hatchr renders designs in sandboxed isolation, meaning files never touch your account or interact with each other. This is worth noting for anyone working with sensitive client work—you're not creating an account ecosystem where uploads are cross-referenced. Each design lives in its own container until you deliberately choose to share it.

Pricing

The free tier lets you host up to 3 designs with one-week file retention, which is enough to get a feel for the workflow. Pro costs $12 per month and unlocks unlimited designs kept forever, priority rendering, and all sharing features. The pricing suggests this is targeting freelance designers and small teams rather than enterprise shops—though nothing stops larger organizations from using it.

Key Takeaways

  • Zero setup required: just drop a Claude zip and get a link instantly
  • Renders every screen including nested folders, variants, and alternates
  • Sandboxed rendering keeps designs isolated and private by default
  • Viewers don't need accounts—just open an unlisted link
  • Free tier supports 3 designs; Pro is $12/month for unlimited

The Bottom Line

Hatchr fills a genuine gap in the Claude design workflow: the export exists, but sharing it traditionally meant zip files, screenshots, or spinning up hosting. For $0 to start with no credit card required, it's worth a test run on your next project—even if just to see how cleanly your screens translate.
