ClipFormal — Annotate UI, Get AI-Ready Instructions

Circle and label a screenshot, get structured JSON your coding agent can execute

Problem

When revising AI-generated UIs, users often type long descriptions like "move the button top-right a bit left", "make this card bigger", or "the color here is wrong". The intent is clear but text is imprecise about position and scope. Someone already built a small tool that turns annotations into JSON for AI, confirming the pain is real and repeatable.

Solution

Select, drag and annotate components directly on a screenshot or live page, express intent like "shift left 8px" or "increase font size", and get structured JSON or natural-language instructions including element position, relative relationships and change type, ready to paste into a coding agent or send to a designer.

Users

Developers, PMs and designers using AI for frontend work, plus anyone who needs to give precise UI feedback to contractors or teammates.

MVP

Upload a screenshot or capture via browser extension; box regions and add change notes; export structured JSON; one-click copy as natural language; all local, no upload.

Revenue

Free basic tier; subscription for batch annotation, team sharing and integrations with popular coding agents.

Why now

AI-generated UIs are now normal, but expressing visual edits precisely remains a bottleneck; browser extensions and local image processing are mature enough for a solo dev to build this.
