The Prompt Loop
Moving a button 20 pixels costs a full generation. The model rewrites working code to do it, and every attempt is billed.
- Type prompt
- Wait
- Burn tokens
- Something else breaks
- Repeat
Click, edit, press Apply.
Editor V instantly writes it into your code.
macOS desktop app. For local Next.js and Vite + React projects using Tailwind.
AI is unmatched at building whole pages and complex components. But moving a button 20 pixels left? That’s a prompt, a wait, and a bill — for something you could have done yourself in ten seconds.
Moving a button 20 pixels costs a full generation. The model rewrites working code to do it, and every attempt is billed.
Clicking an element in an AI tool looks direct. It isn’t — your click becomes a prompt. Same wait, same bill, same guessing.
Screenshots, DevTools, prompt boxes, code files. And the sentence you’ve typed a thousand times: “run local host.”
None of this is AI’s fault. It’s just the wrong tool for a ten-second job.
Forget chatting, prompting, taking screenshots and burning tokens. Polish your site in minutes using robust industry tools loved by millions.
Edit your actual running local site live. No fake mockups, no static approximations — what you see and change on screen is what gets written to your codebase.
Editor V opens the same folder your agent works in — no MCP, no CLI, no plugin. Give your agent an instruction and watch the change land on the canvas as it happens. No waiting in chat. No refreshing local host.
Point Editor V at a local Next.js or Vite + React folder and it opens the real thing. No import step, no upload, no cloud sandbox holding your code — both major React toolchains, on your machine, in the repo you already have.
Switch instantly between Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views. Fix broken phone layouts and awkward container wraps in seconds without disrupting your desktop design.
Take complete visual control over flex directions, alignment, gap spacing, sizing modes, and min/max constraints. Dial in your layout structure instantly without touching CSS.
Fine-tune font sizes, line heights, text alignment, background fills, text colors, and corner radii with point-and-click ease. See your visual style update live in real time.
See your entire page hierarchy at a glance. Drag and drop sections, containers, or collection cards to reorder them with structural safety.
Fine-tune margins and padding effortlessly. Adjust all sides together, pair horizontal and vertical axes, or control individual sides independently.
Scans your project before opening for safe writes. If something needs cleanup first, it auto-generates a Markdown task list for your AI agent to fix in one pass.
AI tools love generating 20 near-identical shades and inconsistent gaps. See every color, type role, and spacing value your page actually renders — then select the ones that mean the same thing and set them to one. Duplicate color variables collapse onto a single decision without deleting a name anything still reads.
Edits stay in a live preview staging area until you hit Apply. Experiment with total Undo/Redo confidence, backed by automatic timestamped backups for 1-click rollback.
Open your local Next.js or Vite + React folder inside Editor V. Your real site loads, live.
No script to run, nothing to install. Editor V scans your project on open and tells you what it can edit safely. If something needs fixing first, it writes the task list — pass it to your AI agent, rescan, and you’re in. A few minutes, once.
Click anything on the page. Change spacing, size, type, color, layout. Hit Apply and it’s written into your code.
Editor V doesn't replace your AI agent — it replaces prompting it for a change you could make in ten seconds.

Editor V operates locally on your machine, your codebase remains 100% private and yours from start to finish.
Editor V never creates custom file formats, lock-in files, or proprietary runtimes.
Every edit is validated before saving. Unsafe dynamic targets are automatically protected to keep your codebase pristine.
Automatic local backups are created before any file is touched, giving you instant peace of mind.
Nothing is locked behind the paid plan. Both plans are the whole editor, on as many projects as you like — the only difference is how much you apply each month.

A Mac, and a local Next.js or Vite + React project using Tailwind. Nothing is uploaded and nothing runs in the cloud.
No. It works on any standard Next.js or Vite + React project using Tailwind — whether an AI built it, you did, or your team did years ago.
No. Editor V reads React components and writes Tailwind classes, so it needs a Next.js or Vite + React project using Tailwind.
Most will. Editor V scans a project before opening it and tells you what it can and cannot edit safely. If a project uses patterns that would make edits unreliable, Editor V says so up front instead of writing changes it cannot stand behind — and generates a Markdown task list your AI agent can work through to get it ready. It is a few minutes of cleanup once, not a rebuild.
Editor V needs an existing project to open, but it’ll set you up for one. Choose “Start a new project” and it gives you a standards file — hand that to your AI agent before it writes any code, and what it builds is editable from the first line.
Those all route a visual change through a model — a prompt, a wait, a bill, and sometimes a rewrite of code that was working. Editor V changes the line itself. No-code builders give you the same direct control but keep your site in their platform; Editor V leaves it in your repo.
There isn’t one. Editor V reads your code, so it already knows which element lives on which line of which file. Hit Apply and it changes that line — the way a developer would. Nothing is guessed. Nothing is generated. Nothing leaves your computer. That’s why it’s instant, and why it never costs you a token.
Editor V provides dedicated Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile viewports. Edits made on smaller screens automatically generate clean Tailwind breakpoint overrides without ruining your desktop layout.
Windows is coming. Editor V is macOS-only for now — that’s simply where it was built first. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear when Windows lands.
The free plan gives you 25 Applies a month, and every feature. One Apply writes every change you’ve staged, so 25 goes further than it sounds. Pro is $29/month with no cap.
