Question 1

What is Inspector?

Accepted Answer

Inspector is a visual front-end editor that connects to AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex). It lets you edit your UI visually—click to edit text, drag to move elements, leave comments for changes—while the AI applies changes directly to your local codebase.

Question 2

How does Inspector work with Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Inspector connects to your Cursor installation via its API. When you make visual changes or leave comments in Inspector, it sends requests to Cursor which then edits your codebase. You can use any model available in your Cursor subscription.

Question 3

What coding agents does Inspector support?

Accepted Answer

Inspector supports three AI coding agents: Cursor, Claude Code (Anthropic), and OpenAI Codex. You can connect your existing accounts for any of these services and switch between them as needed.

Question 4

Is Inspector free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Inspector is free to download and use. You bring your own AI coding agent subscription (Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex). Inspector itself has no subscription fee.

Question 5

What frameworks does Inspector support?

Accepted Answer

Inspector works with React, Next.js, Vite, Create React App, and any other front-end framework that runs locally. It also supports static HTML files and Ruby on Rails applications.

Question 6

Is Inspector like Figma or Lovable?

Accepted Answer

Inspector has a Figma-like visual interface, but instead of designing mockups, you're editing your actual running application. Unlike Lovable or v0 which generate code in the cloud, Inspector works entirely locally on your existing codebase—you keep full control of your code.

Question 7

Does Inspector work on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Inspector is currently available for macOS only (both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs). Windows support is coming soon—you can join the waitlist on our website.

Question 8

How do I get started with Inspector?

Accepted Answer

Download Inspector from tryinspector.com, open it, and select or drag in your project folder. Connect your preferred AI coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex) in Settings, then start your dev server. You can now edit your app visually!
