## Overview
Inspector is a visual front-end editor that bridges the gap between design and development by connecting directly to AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. It allows developers to edit their front-end applications visually—moving elements, editing text, and leaving comments—while keeping all changes linked to the actual codebase. The tool works locally on your machine with React, Next.js, or Vite applications, enabling seamless iteration between visual design and code. Inspector is particularly valuable for teams looking to streamline UI development and improve collaboration between developers and designers. The main limitation is that it currently only supports macOS, restricting its availability to developers on that platform.
## Key Features
- Visual element editing and movement
- Text editing with double-click functionality
- Comment system for marking changes
- Integration with AI coding agents
- Element-to-code linking with visual context
- Page-aware screenshot capability
- Local codebase connection
- Support for React, Next.js, and Vite frameworks

## Use Cases
- Streamlining UI development with visual editing capabilities
- Improving collaboration between developers and designers
- Iterating on React, Next.js, and Vite applications visually
- Linking visual changes directly to source code for faster debugging

## Who It Is For
- Front-end developers
- UI/UX designers working with developers
- Development teams using Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex
- Teams building React, Next.js, or Vite applications

## Pros
- Seamlessly integrates with popular AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) to enhance development workflow
- Works entirely locally on your codebase, maintaining complete control and privacy of your code
- Provides direct visual-to-code linking, making it easy to identify which UI elements correspond to specific code lines
- Enables non-developers and designers to participate in UI iteration without requiring deep code knowledge

## Cons
- Currently only available for macOS, excluding Windows and Linux users
- Requires macOS hardware, limiting accessibility for developers on other platforms
- May require setup steps despite claims of simplicity, particularly for developers unfamiliar with AI coding agents
