01 · Why
Fix the HTML
your AI wrote.
Your AI builds a beautiful page. Then you read it, and the small mistakes start showing. A wrong number. A wrong logo. A word where a number should be. A sentence that reads like a machine wrote it. And a desktop full of screenshots you took to explain all that.
You want to fix it in a click, not another prompt or a code editor. Retouch is that click. Click the text, change it, save. In seconds.

02 · Eight small fixes
Each one used to mean a rebuild.
| What's wrong | What you do today | With Retouch |
|---|---|---|
| Typo in the headline | Re-prompt and wait for a rebuild. Or open a code editor and hunt for the string in 900 lines of generated markup. | Click it, type, save. |
| 18% should be 21% | The same rebuild. Or find and replace, and hope the number isn't in four other places. | Change the digits in place. |
| One sentence has to go | Describe the sentence to the AI and hope it picks the right one. | Select, delete, save. |
| Placeholder logo where the real one goes | Paste a file path into the prompt and hope the rebuild finds it. | Click it, Replace image, pick the file. |
| Alt text is empty or says “image” | Find the tag in an editor, or accept the gap and move on. | Type it in, Apply. |
| The rebuild changed things you liked | Diff two downloads to find what drifted. | Only what you touched is rewritten. |
| Downloads full of report(4).html | Guess which one is current. | Same file, edited in place. |
| You are not the person who opens a code editor | Ask someone technical. Wait until Monday. | Click the icon in Chrome. |
03 · What
Click.
Type.

04 · Where your files go
Nowhere.
No server, no account, no upload. Retouch reads and writes the file on your own disk and nothing else. It is open source, so you can check.
- Byte for byte. Only the text you changed is rewritten. Comments, spacing and scripts stay exactly as your AI left them.
- Script-aware. Text a script generates at load is refused, not silently corrupted.
- Yours. MIT licensed. Fork it, read it, keep it.
05 · Formatting
Only what the
page already
knows.
Select text and a small pill appears: bold, italic, code, link. The Styles, Color and Font menus list what this page's own stylesheet uses, described in plain words. Nothing is invented, so nothing looks pasted in.
