In simple English
Doory is a web tool for making posters, slides, social media graphics, and business cards. It gives you a clean workspace with shapes, text effects, icons, and templates. You do not need to pay for a subscription or create an account to start designing. You can run it on your own server using Docker to keep all your files private. The software costs nothing to download and use, but you must keep the author's credit visible in the app.
What it is
Doory is an open-source design editor built with React, TypeScript, and Django. It provides collaborative editing, layer management, and exports for images, documents, and videos.
What it is good for

- No forced account creation for guests, so people can start designing instantly.
- Exports designs to PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4, and GIF.
- Can be controlled by AI assistants using an built-in Model Context Protocol server.
- Custom attribution licence requires you to keep credit to the author visible in the running application.
- Starter template library is small and requires manual setup after installation.
