Overview

Faunter solves a real agency problem: keeping every designer's machine loaded with the same fonts. It's a Tauri desktop app for macOS and Windows with a Rust backend that installs fonts system-wide (handling OS elevation), synced in real time from a central Supabase-backed repository. Admins upload and manage the font library; team members just stay in sync automatically. It also integrates the Google Fonts library and Adobe Fonts catalog for browsing and adding fonts directly.
