What is Inspector?

Inspector is a visual editor that bridges the gap between design and code by connecting directly to your AI coding agent. Instead of describing changes in text or going through a design handoff process, you click on any element in your live UI, tweak it visually, and Inspector writes the corresponding change straight into your codebase. It works with popular AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, turning visual edits into real code commits.

Who it's for

• Front-end developers who want to iterate on UI changes faster without switching between design tools and code editors.
• Design engineers who need a direct way to translate visual tweaks into production-ready code without manual reimplementation.
• Solo founders and small teams who rely on AI coding agents and want a seamless workflow from visual adjustment to repository push.

Key features

Visual editing in the browser

Click any element in your running UI to select it, then move it, resize it, or edit text directly. Inspector translates each visual action into the corresponding code change, so you never have to hunt through files to find the right line.

AI agent integration

Inspector connects to your existing AI agent — Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. When you make a visual edit, the agent receives the context and writes the change to your local codebase. This means your agent stays in the loop and can handle more complex logic around the visual tweak.

Fully local operation

Everything runs on your machine. Inspector connects to any local codebase without sending your code or UI data to external servers. Your work stays private, and there is no dependency on cloud infrastructure for the editing workflow.

macOS native app

Inspector is available as a native macOS application, providing a smooth, low-latency experience for developers working on Apple hardware.

What stands out

Inspector turns your browser into a code editor — click, tweak, and push without ever leaving the UI.

Most visual editors generate abstract design files or export static assets. Inspector goes further by writing real code changes through your AI agent. This eliminates the traditional design-to-development handoff entirely. You stay in the same environment where you test and preview your work, and the code updates are immediately reflected in your repository. It’s a practical shortcut for anyone who wants to move from visual idea to committed code in seconds.

Worth checking out if…

You use AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and want a faster way to make front-end changes. Inspector is especially useful if you find yourself constantly switching between a browser inspector and a code editor to tweak layouts, text, or spacing. It’s also a good fit if you prefer visual feedback loops but need the final output to be clean, local code rather than design mockups.
