What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Specify

Specify collects design tokens from multiple sources like Figma, Tokens Studio, and custom JSON files, then automatically syncs and transforms them into code-ready formats across various platforms. It bridges the gap between designers and developers by keeping design decisions synchronized throughout the development process.
