Best For Professions:
Onlook is a visual editor that lets designers change a real website’s code with AI and direct canvas edits.
Open an existing repository or start a project, inspect the running page and make visual or prompted changes. Each design exploration gets its own Git branch, keeping alternatives separate for review.
The current app runs locally on macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Connect your Claude Code or Codex account and open the project; Windows and Linux are on a waitlist.
The Mac app is free to download. AI use depends on your own provider account, subscription or API key; team arrangements have custom terms.
Claude Code, Codex and local Git repositories support the current workflow. Cursor and OpenCode are marked coming soon. The earlier open-source Next.js/Tailwind editor is a different generation of Onlook.
Choose Onlook for visual interface work on a local codebase. Review the generated changes in Git before merging and deploying.
