What Pinegrow is
Pinegrow is a visual web editor aimed at professional developers and designers working with HTML, CSS, SASS, Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, GSAP Interactions, WordPress, and WooCommerce. It combines visual controls for adding, moving, cloning, editing, and removing HTML elements with code editing. Styling tools support live CSS, SASS, and LESS editing, including a CSS Grid editor. Pages can be edited at different device sizes, with custom breakpoints or breakpoint detection from stylesheets. Pinegrow also supports master pages, reusable components, and a CMS mode for static HTML websites. Its AI Assistant edits markup and styles using a provider and API key supplied by the user, and works alongside Claude Code and Codex CLI. The WordPress Builder turns HTML pages into themes or Gutenberg blocks and exports standard PHP files. Pinegrow supports Git and live sync with Atom and VS Code. A Pinegrow Web Editor license costs $49.50 a year; a separate license is required for each user, and each user can install it on up to three computers.
