Pincushion for freelancers.

Your client clicks the thing they mean on the site and types a note. Your coding agent reads it and makes the fix once you approve it. You stay out of the screenshot thread.

New accounts only. No card needed. Becomes Free after 14 days unless you upgrade.

When it’s just you, or a couple of you

You’re the designer, the developer and the project manager. Client feedback shows up in email, texts and a call you half remember. Pincushion pins each note to the element it’s about, so you’re not guessing which button “the blue one” is.

How a round goes

1. Create a project with your client’s site, or the staging URL.
2. Invite your client into the project. They sign in once, with Google or an emailed link. Then they open the review and pin on the page in their browser, nothing to install.
3. Want them on the live pages too? Add the one-line script to the site. Invited clients can pin there as well, after one more sign-in on that site the first time.
4. They click an element and write a note. In the review the pin sits on a screenshot of the page. On the live site it keeps the page URL, the element and the viewport.
5. You reply on the pin and approve what you agreed to do. Your agent’s implement step only picks up approved pins; the rest stay open for discussion.
6. Connect your coding agent once, with npx pincushion-mcp setup (it signs you in through your browser) or from the project’s Connect tab. In Cursor, Claude Code or Codex it reads the approved pins through the Pincushion MCP server, makes the change, and records the commit and PR on the pin.

Reviewers are free. Here that means your clients.

Pincushion calls anyone who leaves feedback a reviewer. On this page that’s your client, but it could be a copywriter or a partner who wants a look. Reviewers and commenters are always free and unlimited. You only pay for developer seats.
