PulseDev

Click a UI bug on localhost and your AI coding agent fixes it

PulseDev is a developer tools tool for Developers and Freelancers, offered as freemium ($18/mo). Based in United Kingdom. Popular alternatives include Cursor, Llama App, RunInfra.

About PulseDev

PulseDev is a macOS app that connects the page you are building on localhost to the AI coding agent you already use. You click an element, describe the change in plain language, and Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or OpenCode edits the source, then you approve or reject the diff in the browser before anything is written. It is made by UK-based Perlat Kociaj and sold through Lemon Squeezy; the first version shipped in April 2026.

Inspect mode captures the selector, size, computed styles, route, viewport and framework, and shift-click selects several elements. Screenshots and console and network errors can be attached. A live log shows each read, edit and command the agent runs, and a task board tracks queued, running, in-review and done items. Each project gets its own local server, port and agent, and everything stays on your machine with no account. It installs as a Vite plugin or script tag and supports React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte and plain HTML. Free covers one project and one agent; Pro and a lifetime license unlock the rest.

It suits front-end developers and freelancers who already pay for a coding agent and lose time describing UI bugs by text. Cursor offers a broader editor with its own browser tools, while PulseDev keeps your existing agent and editor. It is macOS-only for now, pre-1.0 and run by a single maker, and agent usage costs are separate.

PulseDev launched on Product Hunt on October 27, 2026 with version 0.8.5 and finished #9 of the day. Buying tip: the launch price locks Pro at $12 a month for subscribers before November 3.

Our take

PulseDev removes the most tedious part of AI-assisted front-end work, explaining which element is wrong, and the diff approval keeps you in control. Try the free plan on one project; it is early software, so judge it on your own stack before buying the lifetime license.
