What is PinVari?
Mac app where you circle something on screen and speak, then hand that note to Claude Code or Cursor.
Who is PinVari best for?
PinVari is best for Mac developers who build with coding agents and want to point at the exact UI element to change.
UI fixes with a coding agent
Circle a button and say what to change; the note carries the element's name and role, not only pixels.
Long errors and logs
A capture reads up to 40,000 characters of the window, including text scrolled out of view, so the agent sees the whole stack trace.
Design feedback to share
Review Packs export chosen captures as one HTML file that opens in a browser without a PinVari account.
Showing an agent a workflow
Workflow recording saves a step-by-step trail of named buttons and fields that an agent can follow.
How much does PinVari cost?
PinVari Essentials is free to try for 5 captures on the Mac App Store, PinVari Pro is a one-time $99, and PinVari Max with the voice companion costs $29 a month.

How do I connect PinVari to my AI agent?
PinVari MCP is PinVari's official MCP server. Add it to your agent once, then ask it to point at your screen and pass that context to a coding agent.
PinVari runs on your Mac and records what you point at, with the named UI element, your spoken note and the window text, so your agent knows exactly what to fix.
PinVari gives each account its own server address. Open the setup guide, copy your address, then add it to Claude Code like any other server.
It runs on your computer, so Claude Code starts it when it needs it.
PinVari's setup guide covers the sign-in.
