What Pinegrow is

Pinegrow is a visual web editor for professional web developers and designers working with HTML, CSS, SASS, Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, GSAP Interactions, WordPress and WooCommerce. It combines direct code editing with controls for adding, editing, moving, cloning and deleting HTML elements. Styling tools support live CSS, SASS and LESS editing, plus a CSS Grid editor. You can work at different device sizes, set breakpoints yourself or have Pinegrow detect them from stylesheets. Master pages, reusable components with editable areas and a CMS mode support static HTML projects. Its AI Assistant edits markup and styles using a provider and API key you supply, and works alongside Claude Code and Codex CLI. The WordPress Builder converts HTML pages into themes or Gutenberg blocks and exports standard PHP files. Pinegrow supports Linux, macOS, Windows, web and self-hosted use, with Git and live sync for Atom and VS Code. Each user needs a separate license and can install it on up to three computers. The maker lists plans including $49.50 a year for Pinegrow Web Editor.
