# tscircuit

## Kurzbeschreibung
**“The #1 framework for AI-generated electronics.”**


tscircuit is an open-source, code-based EDA framework that allows you to describe schematics and PCBs in React and TypeScript. From the code, the system generates schematic, PCB, 3D, and manufacturing views, among other things. AI assistants can interpret requirements, search for components, and generate the necessary tscircuit code.

## Claim
The #1 framework for AI-generated music

## Geeignet für
- Education
- Electronics / Electrical Engineering

## Kernfunktionen
- Programming
- Circuit Design

## Preismodell
- **free:** The core is open-source under the MIT license and can be used locally via the CLI or as a TypeScript/React framework. This enables full-fledged circuit design, PCB layout, simulation, and export workflows.
- **other:** **PCB Hosting and Ordering Service **Hosting and ordering of printed circuit boards, circuit modules, schematics, 3D models, and other electronics assets.



**Private Registry** Use of a custom npm-compatible registry for internal components, files, and team collaboration.


**External AI Providers** AI requests can be processed via OpenAI and Anthropic; potential costs and quotas depend on the specific integration.

## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar

**On-Prem / local hosting: partial**

The website states that tscircuit can be used locally via the CLI. It also says elsewhere that autorouting runs locally, and earlier descriptions mention browser execution. However, no formal on-prem offering by the provider with customer-owned infrastructure or local model operation is described.

**Private Cloud / data center: unclear**

Not specified on the website. There is no documented indication of a dedicated private cloud, EU/EEA data centers, or isolated enterprise environments.

**EU SaaS / Managed: unclear**

There is a web-based application and several hosted services, but the website lacks information on EU data residency, EU/EEA hosting, or selection of a European data center.

**Hybrid: partial**

The website describes both local use via CLI and a web-based application and hosted APIs. This makes a mixed usage scenario conceivable, but an explicit hybrid operating model for privacy or compliance purposes is not described on the website.

**DPA / Data Processing Agreement: unclear**

Not specified on the website. No DPA/Data Processing Agreement or corresponding contract page was found.

**No training: unclear**

Not specified on the website. No clear statement was found that prompts, uploads, chat histories, or outputs are not used for training general models, nor any corresponding opt-out for AI training.

**Open source / transparency path: covered**

The website describes tscircuit several times as open source under the MIT license, as 'Open & forkable', refers to the GitHub organization, and mentions local CLI usage as well as a private registry model. This creates a clear path for transparency and sovereignty.

**Data processing**

The website describes tscircuit as a combination of a web-based service and a locally usable CLI. There are several hosted components such as registry-api, compile_api, usercode_api, browser_preview, svg_service, and other services visible on the status page. However, for EU/EEA-relevant data processing questions, the website lacks reliable information on server locations, data centers, data residency, subprocessors, and contractual protection mechanisms.

**Conclusion**

For an EU/EEA tool directory, it is positive that tscircuit has an open and locally usable approach. However, for a reliable GDPR assessment of hosted usage, the provider's website lacks essential compliance information. Therefore, SaaS/managed usage is not sufficiently documented from an EU/EEA perspective; a more privacy-friendly path via local usage is recognizable, but is not fully described as a straightforward, documented compliance path.

For the European region (EU/EEA), the website contains references to data protection rights under the GDPR and EEA relevance, but key evidence for a reliable assessment of the practical GDPR compliance of the entire service is missing. In particular, the website does not document a server location, EU data residency, a DPA/AVV, a subprocessor list, or reliable information on international data transfers. A positive aspect is that tscircuit can also be used locally via CLI and is presented as an open-source MIT project; however, the website does not specifically describe whether this is sufficient for straightforward, fully GDPR-compliant use in the EU/EEA.

**Positive**

The website has a privacy policy with references to rights for persons in the EEA as well as an explanation of legal bases under the GDPR. In addition, the website describes tscircuit as open source under the MIT license and mentions local use via the CLI; furthermore, a private registry model is mentioned.

**Negative**

The website does not specify a DPA/AVV, subprocessors, EU data residency, specific server or data center locations, SCCs or other transfer mechanisms, certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, or an explicit statement that content is not used to train general AI models. In the terms of use, the provider is based in California, USA.

**Server location**

Not specified on the website. The website names tscircuit Inc. as a company in San Francisco, California, USA, but provides no specific server or data center location and no EU/EEA data residency.
