Monet turns websites and app screens into precise, agent-ready design feedback. Capture or import a page, mark changes with touch, Apple Pencil, text, images, or voice, hand the structured review to your AI coding agent, then recapture and verify what changed. No design-tool expertise is required. Think of Monet as a red marker and digital note layer for work made with AI. CAPTURE AND IMPORT - Capture a single page or crawl a site with live progress on iPad. - Review production sites, staging previews, PWAs, and pages behind a login. - Import screenshots, Open Design artifacts, and .monetproj Agent Preview Packs from Files or Telegram. ANNOTATE - Draw boxes with touch or write directly with Apple Pencil. - Add text, reference images, voice notes, severity, category, status, and acceptance criteria. - Open packs and review quickly on iPhone, or use the full capture and markup workspace on iPad. HAND OFF - Export a structured bundle with screenshots, crops, page metadata, element anchors, annotations, and connector notes. - Send it to any AI coding agent or save it to Files or cloud storage. - Keep requested changes organized instead of scattering feedback across chats and screenshots. REPLY AND VERIFY - Apply your agent's structured reply to update annotation statuses. - Recapture addressed pages and compare marked regions with the baseline. - See which regions changed, which stayed unchanged, and what needs another pass. LOCAL-FIRST Projects stay on your device by default. Monet has no project-storage backend. Optional iCloud sync mirrors projects across your Apple devices, and private connector secrets remain protected in Keychain. FREE TO START Your first project is free with full capture, annotation, and handoff features. Monet Pro unlocks unlimited projects after a 7-day free trial. Your localized subscription price is shown before purchase. If you start the trial, payment begins automatically when it ends unless you cancel beforehand, and the subscription renews automatically. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Monet supports iPhone and iPad. It also runs as a compatible iPad app on Apple Vision Pro and Apple silicon Macs.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Monet at 5.0 against HTML Viewer's 4.5. Monet also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). HTML Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (106 vs 3) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
