Description:

RegexPilot
is a visual regex builder for macOS that actually runs your patterns through the real interpreter of whatever language you're targeting. Pick Python and it runs through CPython. Ruby hits MRI's Onigmo engine. Java goes through GraalVM. C# through .NET 9. PHP through native PCRE. 11 bundled sidecar engines for flavors where the real interpreter differs meaningfully from JavaScript.

Why this matters: AI generates a lot of regex these days, but the patterns silently break depending on which engine runs them. RegexPilot catches the "works in JS but not in Python" bugs before they ship.

What you get:

- 21 authentic regex flavors (JS, TS, Python, Ruby, Java, C#, PHP, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Perl, Elixir, R, Dart, Shell, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- AST-driven visual editor — drag, drop, swap quantifiers, wrap in lookarounds
- Built-in AI verification — connect your own key or use bundled local models
- Voice dictation — "match a date in YYYY-MM-DD format" → regex
- Fully offline, no telemetry, no account required
- Free tier covers JS/TS fully; 30-day Pro trial unlocks all 21 flavors
