Pinta is a Chrome extension and companion server that hands visual UI annotations to a coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or any MCP-compatible tool — which edits your source files.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Maker here.
Pinta started from a personal itch: every time I reviewed my own app, I'd screenshot a button, paste it into my coding agent, and type a paragraph describing which button I meant. The agent would still edit the wrong file.
So I built the loop I wanted: draw on your running app, hit Submit, and your agent edits the actual source. Circle a heading, type "make this tonal", and Pinta hands your agent the selector, nearby text, computed styles, and an optional screenshot — enough to find the right line in the right file. Your agent shows a plan, you say "go", the page hot-reloads.
A few things I care about:
🔌 Bring your own agent. The extension only talks to a tiny local companion; the companion talks to Claude Code, Cursor, Aider — anything MCP-compatible. Nothing is hard-wired to a vendor.
🔒 Your code never leaves your machine. No cloud, no accounts, no credentials stored. The companion runs on localhost.
🧩 Modules for the rest of the loop — UAT checklists (Test Pilot), audits (AuditFlow), design variants, GitLab issue filing, and an SDK to write your own.
It's free and MIT-licensed. The 5-minute get-started video is in the gallery — I'd genuinely love to hear where the flow breaks for you, and what you'd want your agent to see from the page that it can't today. I'll be here all day! 🙏
