MockPilot: A free, open-source desktop app that turns live webpages into editable mockups using natural language
By

Summary
MockPilot is a free, open-source desktop app (macOS + Windows) that lets users turn any live webpage into an editable mockup. It captures full pages or single components from any URL, auto-extracts design assets (typography, colors, components, icons), and allows editing via natural language prompts. Users can export clean, standalone HTML. The tool is designed to solve the communication gap between product managers, designers, and developers by providing a fast, visual way to propose UI changes without requiring design or coding skills.

· 3 pulledI built MockPilot for a very specific frustration I kept seeing on every team I've worked on: a PM (or designer, or support lead, or founder) has a clear idea for a feature or a tweak to an existing screen - but no fast way to show it.
So they write a paragraph, drop in a screenshot with arrows, and hope the developer interprets it the way they meant. Half the time, they don't.
MockPilot fixes that. You point it at any URL - your own product, a competitor, anywhere - and it captures the page (or just one component) as a fully editable mockup.
