Artemis: Retool for desktop applications

Hello, we’re Austin, Manvir and Kyle — we founded Artemis.

tl;dr It takes too long to give desktop internal tools usable GUIs. Artemis fixes that.

Problem:

Artemis was born in a Caltech robotics lab when our founder Austin realized too much time was spent giving internal tools usable GUIs. Building front-ends for internal tools written in programming languages like Python, C, C++ and Matlab is a tedious process that makes it slow and difficult to deploy even the simplest projects.

Existing solutions aimed at solving this problem like Java’s Netbeans or Python’s QT only aid the user in designing how their interface will look, leaving the task of coding each element’s functionality. The complexity of these tools also present a high barrier to entry – especially for users who are just trying to make simple interfaces. These users don’t need all the bells and whistles of QT, they just need a simple solution they can learn and employ quickly.

Artemis Solution:

Artemis’ drag and drop interface lets developers rapidly design front-ends comprised of elements that function out-of-box. This prepackaged functionality means integration is a breeze.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create your interface in our drag-and-drop webtool:

1. Integrate into codebase with three steps (minimal overhead)

1. Launch your new interface (runs in browser to facilitate cross platform use, but still works offline)

Project history, use cases, and pricing:

History: We began life as an augmented reality development platform that functioned in almost the same manner. However after realizing how small that market is, we’ve pivoted to a broader one. That being said: we remain so cross platform you can even build frontends to be displayed in AR and VR.

Use Cases: Artemis is a must-have for anybody who builds internal tools.

Some examples include: Machine learning dashboards • GUIs for engineering tools • Control panels for machinery & IoT devices • GUIs for physicists’ models and calculators • And whatever else you can build!

Pricing: $9 a month after 1 week free trial
