Several things set Kiri apart. First, it runs entirely in browser with no dependence on the cloud or servers. There is nothing to install. It loads instantly and is ready to use. Second, it has several operating modes including CNC gcode generation and laser cutting output. Third, because it’s browser-native, it’s directly integrated into Onshape and Thingiverse.

Kiri has several thousand active users, but has largely stayed under the radar. It is under active development. New features and bug fixes roll out continuously.
